Performance issues are the only thing which keep this from being a 5 star game for me.
This is Breath of the Wild if it had a simple and emotionally compelling story. What I loved most was forming Sable's identity, exploring the various roles people play in this universe and determining which was best for her. The quests are charming, the landscape unique and interesting, style and music lovely. And the bike! Love the bike! Climbing things is thrilling and astounding just as it is is BOTW, too, which is a thing I rarely encounter in games. Who doesn't love a good climb!?
However, by god there were some tense moments while climbing moving objects because this game will toss you all over the place, glitch you in and out, drop you indiscriminately. The performance is usually ok, but really poor in indoor environments in particular. If a patch fixes these in the future, I would love to revisit this and pick a different mask in the end :)

I loved it until I had to stop playing because I could tell I was genuinely addicted to it, the endless looping grinding.
A really engaging change on the typical roguelike formula, and the satisfaction of just barely scraping by and making it to the campfire is so good.
This being said, it is very simple and sadly pretty shallow when all is said and done. There were clear opportunities for it to expand and have more meaningful game mechanics, but it sticks with what its got.
Still a fun time!
