I'm... underwhelmed.
There's a lot here that I would describe as great (story is great, gorgeous graphics, THE SOUNDTRACKKKKKKKK) but at the same time there're so many flaws I just can't get over. The pacing is super strange, there's some story stuff in the late game that is a little strange (won't get into specifics bc spoilers), the level design is middling, and my biggest critique: the combat. It's honestly not an issue I have with this game in particular, but action games in general. The combat just becomes so damn boring after 30 hours. I appreciate the attempt to switch things up but I just think this game is too long for this kind of combat. Despite all my bitching I think think this game is pretty good, but I gotta say, considering how hype I was prerelease, I'm pretty let down.
