    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

  2. Edgardo_93

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

    FrameKid

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

  3. GhostSamurai

    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.

  4. GlitchBard3

    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

  5. heller_brain

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

  6. Frame_Rippin

    finished it during a flu week off work good times honestly

    sporer_elva

    Thunderjaw fights aside, the rest of the checklist stuff wears thin fast, same old open world formula honestly.

    Solide, joli, un peu long parfois. Il mérite sa place sans plus.

    SilentHunter2

    Long parfois, sí, but the pacing only sags in the mid stretch for me, not throughout

  8. OcéaneOwl

    Ah oui le fameux frontier majestueux et dangereux, sauf que passé les dix premières heures c'est surtout de la corvée avec de beaux graphismes.

    JazlynMaster

    My daughter names every machine we fight, so the corvée part flew right past her honestly

    Ibáñez5

    Yo jugué la campaña entera con mi hermana mirando, ella gritaba cada vez que aparecía una máquina nueva y eso hacía todo mejor.

    Encore un débat sur sa place, comme si ça allait changer quelque chose, mais bon je vais quand même dire ce que je pense: c'est un jeu qui prend son temps, qui construit son monde sans se presser, et face à des mastodontes du classement il tient tête sans rougir, même si je sais que la moitié du fil va me dire le contraire.

    Funny how every duel thread turns into the same three camps repeating themselves, and yet here I am typing my own version of it again

    on jouait chez mon frère le week-end, chacun sa manette à tour de rôle, et forcément on comparait tout le temps avec Witcher 3, spoiler: Geralt gagnait toujours la discussion.

  11. LuckyMaster

    Un mapa enorme no significa nada si las misiones son todas iguales, para mí está sobrevalorado.

  12. CoopRider2008

    Surcoté clairement, on parle d'un monde magnifique mais vide de vraies surprises, désolé pas désolé !

    Geraldine_2001

    Compared to what Baldur's Gate III does with choice and consequence, this feels painfully linear honestly.

    AllieRider

    Combat holds up, traversal sometimes fights you

    Eloisa_40

    Calling it surcoté is a bit much when the machine fights alone justify most of the playtime, come on.

    Max_1984

    I put probably 90 hours into this and I'd do it again, no regrets, I know that's not exactly a hot take but there it is.
