Some peeps mad af bout that IGN score. They said:

“I'll give you the scoring method of IGN:
Strong diversity: +1
Female Protagonist: +1
Left Leaning Political Ideals: +1
Weak or Incompetent Male Characters: +1

10-4 = 6 Score”



This game deserves its 6 tho tbh and I’m basing that off the controls alone. fukking crazy ass shyt. Whoever QA’d this game needs their ass beat.

I’m still having fun though I personally feel like this game is an 8 at best.

It's still early, but I give it an 8/10 off combat and exploration alone.

The controls, character movement blur and game load time are my only issues.

The story is fine so far as long as these town folk continue to put some respect on my name

Honestly, this is one of the most interesting games I’ve played in a while. The world’s full of little surprises, and you can go as deep into it as you feel like, which I really like. It kind of gives me vibes of Elden Ring, Ghost of Tsushima, Red Dead, and The Witcher all mixed together.

The story didn’t really bug me maybe it’s not amazing, but the gameplay and how much there is to do definitely make up for it.

Salute to them also mixing in Path of Neo. The leveling skill tree and combat is very reminiscent of that game.

I might wait until the updates roll in before purchasing, but I'll be following the thread updates to see more impressions

I’d get it now. The controls are complete ass but you get used to it after a while and then it’s not a huge deal. Once you get into this the exploration and combat is amazing. This game is massive.

If you care about story then yeah don’t worry about this one. The story is stupid and nonsensical. It’s literally like….

1. Go to town
2. Arm wrestle a random soldier
3. Give a bum a coin
4. Explore a sewer
5. Teleport to an alternate world floating in the sky
6. Clean a chimney

I think i might have to grab this one a bit sooner; I like games that don't hold your hand

I will say this. Do not go into this game thinking it is like Skyrim, Witcher, etc. This game is more like a high fantasy Red Dead Redemption 2 than those games.

Yeah, while it has the skin of an wrpg, it is definitely not an rpg of any kind at all.

These side quests

Sir those bandits over there stole my sheep. Can you please go get him back for me.

Really, that's all you want me to do. A Sheep? Aight soft. I'll be right back.

Hold up these bandits got on full armour and carrying new weapons.

Yo this kid tripping. Said he wants me to ask for his sheep back.

Time to level up my armour and weapons

I'll be back

The Karin Quarry quest had me questioning if I was really built for this Greymane life
