my initial impression was high, but it slowly lowered the longer the game went on as i realized this was not Painting: The Video Game, but Another Crafting Game with just occasional painting side-quests. i don't mind walking around in beautiful scenery, but the frustrating combination of slow movement speeds, limited fast-travel, stupid environmental physics, long stretches of quite frankly boring maps to cross, and random crashes meant i often had to redo several parts that left me annoyed and frustrated in the home stretch. (don't believe what the internet says about the game auto-saving often. do it yourself.)
