Really interesting game. Vibe was great. Story was good, but complex. Combat was weak and repetitive, but mostly flowed well and didn't get in the way. The world was great, huge and engaging to explore. Lots of filler sidequests, but some actual good ones hidden in there. Certainly lots to do. The level ups weren't very satisfying and I didn't engage with much of the loot and gem crafting, which was a big point of the game. Definitely polarizing between what it did great and poorly. But, I found myself coming back to it and that's certainly worth something.
