Decided to replay this because I was bored and thought hey, maybe the story wasn't that bad and I just need to give it another shot.
Nah this story fucking sucks dude, I cannot get with it at all, also the cutscene presentation is just awful with a lot of pop-in and blurry backgrounds. Everything about this game is genuinely great, except the main story and how it's presented 💀

Okay, after having 100% completed the game, I feel more comfortable giving this a 4 and a half.
The gameplay and all of the side stuff were super fun, never a dull moment. Especially with new game + and all the extra perks.
It really is just the story that brings this down for me. Loved everything else.
I will say as well, this game feels a lot more like a stepping stone than a magnum opus. Like they're experimenting a lot. If they just improve everything in this game a little bit and add a lot more of it, I:e adding more holotable matches, more planets, plants, side quests etc. And make an actual good story. They could make an easy 5 star game.
Again, loved everything. It really is just the story, so maybe finish that first and then do everything, so you don't leave a bad taste in your mouth lol.

Okay so, I really liked everything about this game, the gameplay is really fun with all the new stances you can unlock, all the world's are really well designed and fun to explore and that heavily reward your curiosity with fun secrets, all of the customisation is great, it's all quite in-depth and fun to mess around with.
BUT, and this is a very big but... the story...
It really didn't do it for me. It just all felt very weirdly paced and disjointed. Like they spent too much time on the wrong things. Like there are some good moments, but a lot of stuff seems to happen and then the characters just don't really talk about it. Also all the villains were just crap, none of them really did anything. They were cool ideas for villains but just incredibly wasted. By the time the game ended all i could think of was... that's it? it was just really disappointing, all of the cool concepts they had are just all really basic and just do not go deep into them enough.
again, everything else is great. I had a super fun time doing everything else, it was just the story that kinda left a bad taste in mouth unfortunately. it also is definitely meant to set up the next game so, hopefully that one goes hard with a lot of the concepts from this one and improves.
still a very solid game, just don't expect too much from the story imo :/
