The community says

I keep going back and forth on this one, the world building is honestly some of the best I've ever seen in the genre, but then the mission design locks you…

    I keep going back and forth on this one, the world building is honestly some of the best I've ever seen in the genre, but then the mission design locks you into so many scripted paths that it fights against everything the open world is trying to sell you, so I end up loving and being mildly annoyed at the same time.

    Reading this makes me want to reinstall it just for the camp fire talks again, that part alone kept me hooked for months...

    GOTY for me, no contest tbh.

    Twelve and it's treated like a top three lock every single duel, meanwhile the pacing in the first act is a slog and nobody wants to admit it out loud.

    I finished it during a rough winter and Arthur's slow spiral matched my mood in a way I didn't expect at the time.

    jaja me pasa exacto lo mismo con el invierno, a mí me atrapó justo en una mudanza y no salí por semanas

    J'y ai joué par sessions courtes le soir, jamais eu le temps de tout voir mais l'ambiance suffit largement.
