I did not think the story would be anything worthwhile but it was just straight up really well told. The first half of this game is really strong and the gameplay is good as well not shadowed by story, it's extremely fun to clear outposts and just roam around. The grind starts to set in around the second half, I wish there was more variety, the missions are really fun and has you doing different stuff but the story itself also sort of falls in the second half but honestly wraps up pretty well in a really cool ending. There's a lot to talk about with character growth in the game and lots of parallels and ambiguous stuff, super interesting in a game like this. Definitely worth a play, really fun.
