I played the preview on Xbox Game pass (about 5 hours worth of gameplay). I loved it and was so sad when I realized I wouldn't be able to go further, excited for the full release.

The crafting/collecting component can get repetitive and tedious at times but after a break from the game I would be totally reengaged. The art was so cute. I really like the side characters and can't wait to meet more of them in the final version. Lots of people have mentioned the dialogue being weird, and there are some obvious awkward translations but it never bothered me.

Initially bought for my Switch, but was completely unplayable on that so was able to get a refund because I couldn't even get past the tutorial and called them in under 24 hours.

The PS5 was a much better experience. I was mostly lucky and did not experience any game breaking bugs (like many others), but there were some annoying bugs that made game play less enjoyable for sure.

A huge map with no fast travel options, the mechanics and camera are sub par. But I did like the the story line and beat the main quest line, the graphics were beautiful. But for how much it cost, I wanted more out of the game. Also there is only one single breed of horse. That was huge bummer.

The game was definitely hyped up and was a significant let down, riddled with bugs. I may go back to complete side quest if those ever get fixed.
