This game is FUCKING AMAZING!

It does have A LOT of problems but it is simply unique, there is no game ever that is like remotely like this. I think that most of the harshness that people have is exaggerated. This is Bethesda at its best.

For the good, the story is great, the best from Bethesda by far. The visuals are amazing, the cities are awesome, the writing is the finest in Bethesda games, the story, plot, and characters are great, the shipbuilder is simply insane, the factions are as great as we’re used from Bethesda games, Sarah (she is amazing, sorry, I Have to talk about her), the NG+ in this game is perfect, I don’t remember a game that gave a reason as good as this one for another run. and I could go on and on about little details that were simply perfect. And the powers? Never expected that! The reality is that you’ll need a gigantic essay to explain why, apart from the technical points, this is a great game. It is amazing! Loved every single second of it.

For the mixed, the facial animations lack a bit, even more, if you consider modern standards. The exploration is kind of a mixed bag, with too many loading screens, and very little fluid. It is not bad per se, but still could be better. Performance is not that great, and the game is kind of buggy but we all know the dev…

About the bad, the gunplay is not that great. I wish the game had a map inside the cities (like, come on…). The stamina system is just stupid, in a game that you have to travel miles and miles, having limited stamina just sucks. The elemental and survival damages just kind of serves no purpose (even more when you discover that you can’t die because of it). It feels like the planet exploration was a bit boring with only “go to that place, scan, and repeat”. The places where you get the powerups are always the same thing is actually a bad choice, a big variety of minigames would be better. The menus have a really poor interface and this is annoying during the game.

This game is fascinating, I’m glad I experienced it. I look forward to the support from Bethesda with DLCs, and from the community with mods to come. Amazing game!
