This game is a movie, and it's a fucking good one. Most astonishing action scene I've ever seen in a video game and the ending had me in tears.
Such a shame they ruined their storytelling masterpiece by forcing you to take fetch quests after every single major story progression.
You have the most dramatic sequence ever followed up by the worst and lamest quest you could imagine. And it's not like they try to give you a break from the intensity it's straight-up filler content to stop you from finishing this game in under 20 hours.
This could have been a contender for game of the year if they didn't fuck that up so hard.
It's like they had their A teamwork on half of the missions and some outsourced minimal-wage team work on the rest of it.
When it comes to those filling quests scripting is off, the dialogue feels awkward and the overall experience just plummets down to a shitty 3rd party action game.
A lot went wrong with this one and I'm not even sure if you can call it an RPG since items and equipment have almost no role in all of it. Not to speak of the side missions that are even more awful than the forced fetch quests in between.
I still love this game but damn they fucked this one up.
The best way to enjoy this is not to play it yourself but to enjoy it as an actual movie.
