Amazing! The first open world game where exploring gives you more than just another side to an already predictable environment. Because exploring in this game gives you interesting challenges that do not hold your hand. It is also fun that the main character has his friends with him. But BUT.... Gladios is a terrible character. Also it has the best combat of any final fantasy game.

It is a pretty cool game and you due feel like an animal that have to get pass other animals that have evolved to hunt and survive. The enemies can be peculiar and interesting, so you get a lot of variation. The levels however could be better,

As soon as you unlock 9S as a playable character, the games goes downhill.

Too much padding. The game is like a soap-opera disguised as a hard boiled game, where you play as Geralt who is "SO DONE with DRAMA, but somehow pretty much only hangs out with people that create drama" ;:()
