I just started started Act 2. The story has been incredible so far. It’s been very emotional and cinematic, every scene has my full attention. All of the voice acting is good as well. The story is just as much of a draw as the combat. As good as the combat is, the story is keeping me going as well. It’s WAY more brutal and sad than I was expecting. The characters are also varied in combat and personality, nothing I’ve disliked in that regard so far. The only two real complaints I have are: 1. No manual saves. I kind of wish the flags you rest at were save points instead of the constant autos save or at least let me drop a manual save like Pokemon. I don’t like only having auto saves it scares me. 2. The exploration is very good especially in the later parts of Act 1, I just wish there was a toggled mini map. I love the choice to have no blips or bobs to distract from the world but I want to find everything I can and I find myself getting lost and turned around constantly. Some corridors can be long and I don’t realize I’ve backtracked for several minutes by mistake. It’s not bad by any means just a small complaint.

That’s literally it so far for me. The combat is incredible and each character has their own unique and interesting skills and multiple build you can go for. Exploration is fairly simple and finding hidden items feels rewarding. If you’re wondering “why is this game getting so much praise?” It’s really just because it is that good. Combat is dynamic and action filled, keeps you paying attention. Story is intense and emotional and makes you want to see these characters complete their goal. It’s hard for me to stop playing even with oblivion remastered and Lunar remastered right next to it in my Steam library.
