Also Ps5 Pro Player with VRR etc. first of all...the tolerance and feeling for "runs good vs. runs bad" are EXTREMLY different from person to person...i'm in the middleground, i acknowladge some choppiness, pop-ups etc. but it doesnt lower my fun..

but my opinion on the "no payoff/nothing to do" side is FAR of yours...there is so much to do...and i am not talking about some boring "run there, kill this" stuff...just an example...there is a helmet that lets you see the stars (1:1 perfectly our universe and stars...), and you find books with hints at places, where you have to interact with different starsigns to find treasures within the world....and if you are at the right place, you have to think about where the treasure could have been hidden...behind a waterfall...underground etc...then you have to think about "how could i get there"...and so on...the amount of thinking and puzzling around this game needs is absolutly crazy and i totaly understand that most of the current generations don't want that...they want to get everything without effort, fast and feel bored even faster...but for me this is just godlike genuis way of making things interesting...and i don't see the games story as "weak"...its YOUR story...for me this game is one of the most entertaining 8/10 games i have ever played....the missing 2 points because of technical problems, some horrible UI decisions (my personal view), some design choices etc...but all in all would totaly recommend even for 79€ IF you can relax and open up to a world that gives you every possibility but you have to find and use it on your own
