Better than Kingmaker, which is damning with faint praise. The terrible, mandatory kingdom management 4X game has been replaced with terrible, mandatory, dollar-store Might & Magic crusade management. Every single companion has an insipid "What if [TTRPG Class Stereotype], but flipped on its head?" narrative going on, and the puzzle and quest design are as tedious as ever. There's a whole major hub zone that takes up about a third of the game where you have to constantly rotate the camera to reveal paths, and it is a truly miserable experience.

The Mythic Path stuff has potential, but the way it's implemented as part of the story makes little thematic sense. I'm left how I felt after Kingmaker, where I'm just waiting for them to take the engine and make something that isn't so tightly bound to standard cliche.
