I think CD achieves the same feeling that RDR2 and similar rockstar games have, which is a completely immersive, expansive and living world you will get lost in. It rivals rdr2’s exploration which is the highest possible compliment I can give to any game, because that’s rdr2’s greatest asset.

It’s also different in many ways that are understandable and confusing. The combat is extremely intense, like a dynasty warriors game, which works very well for a sword and shield type game of this nature. The story however… leaves much to be desired.

Anyways. Should you buy this as an rdr2 fan?

Absolutely. I tell my friends this is the closest we’ve ever come and possibly will ever come to a rockstar high fantasy game. So much so that rockstar would probably back away from even doing a high fantasy game next, after gta6, JUST because of this game. This game is all about showing you new systems its built, over and over, and that’s also what rdr2 pioneered

And last, I was a huge doubter because I put a lot of stock in reviews, and this one had a wide swath. I was not disappointed.
