This game would be 5 stars if it was just an open world sandbox with no story except "slay the dragon once you have good enough gear." This game was the most enjoyable when I would just pick a path and start checking every corner for seeker's tokens. Many of the classes are interesting but only having access to 4 skills at a time was kind of lame and limiting.
The main story is simply not good. None of the sidequests were standout and just served to direct the player to more interesting areas of the map that I had already discovered on my own.
Oh also I had to mod my game to even get decent performance with a ryzen 5 5600 and 4060ti which is ridiculous when Horizon Forbidden West released on the weekend, looked way better, and ran way better.
All these complaints and still 4 stars should tell you how solid the core of this game is gameplay-wise. This game is frustrating because it had goty potential and fumbled with legendarily terrible execution.
