The community says

I keep coming back to this one, the machine designs alone justify the ranking for me, and the world feels dense in a way most open worlds fake, sixty four…

    I keep coming back to this one, the machine designs alone justify the ranking for me, and the world feels dense in a way most open worlds fake, sixty four percent win rate feels about right honestly

    And yet the map size gets treated like an achievement in itself, when half the regions could be cut and nobody would notice the difference in pacing or story weight

    IronPilot

    Funny, I actually cut two regions myself on a replay just to test that theory, and the story barely lost anything, though the side content around the cities still pulled me back in longer than I planned

    The pacing drags, drags in the middle act, side quests feel like padding more than content.

    Combat system against machines has more depth and tactical layering than most action RPGs on this list.

    no sé si es tan así, o mejor dicho depende del combate, tú qué maquina esquivaste más veces?

    Oh great, another open world with a checklist disguised as a map, truly revolutionary stuff here.

    FrameKid2

    lo del checklist disfrazado de mapa lo entiendo, pero comparado con Baldur's Gate III este mundo se siente más vivo aunque las decisiones pesen menos, para mí gana el terreno y pierde en las conversaciones.
