Firstly, the game is fun. The new stances, customization, and side quests add a lot to the game's longevity. I enjoyed the entirety of the game, although there are portions where mindless puzzles and navigating can take away from the immersion I felt. For a $70 pricetag I think they nailed the amount of content and story I would want. For all the positives I give this game, I CANNOT recommend it.

The fact that this game was allowed to be launched as "gold" is not only egregious but also dangerous for the gaming community as a whole.

Not only did the game suffer from stuttering, hitching and fps drops but shortly after the May 11th update, which provided "bug fixes" and performance fixes, they game's performance got worse from my perspective. I suffered ten crashes during the game's last 10 hour stretch, 3 of which were during the game's FINAL cutscene. I had to redo the last fight three times and had to resort to skipping the final cutscene and looking it up on the internet.

Adding onto this, after the update I experienced a multitude of texture issues. If I chose a customization on Cal that had a cape or hanging texture, every cutscene it would "bug" out, and take up the whole screen. During fights, enemies such as the magmaguard would be unbearable due to their textures having issues and taking up the whole screen. Prior to the update, I had no issues with textures.

Ultimately, my experience with the game, and like many others, was poor. I had to lower the difficulty not because of the skill required, but simply because the constant stuttering was so bad during the last few sections of the game that I found myself dying during a large freeze.

I'm currently running an AMD Ryzen 7 7800x3D and a Nvidia 4070ti. Hardware specs aren't a full picture, but running everything on high at 1440p should not be issue with smooth performance.

Buy at your own discretion.

When I first saw that game announced, I actually sat in awe for a few moments watching the gameplay. It looked amazing. Then I got the game, and was awarded with an automatic crash, no matter what I tried, but I decided to wait out the storm. I could've refunded right away and blew the money on college ♥♥♥♥ like clothes or alcohol, but I desperately wanted to enjoy the game. So I waited and they patched it, and to my hopes it actually worked! Then it all started to go down hill. The frame rate was still choppy, the game is excessively boring and repetitve just after playing an hour or two, and there was an overwhelming amount of content missing that is shown in trailers, and E3 gameplay.

tldr: The game could've,and should've been something special, but it's not anymore special than the natural light hiding in my dorm room.

Very enjoyable, though lacking a lot of content I feel that a 30 dollar price tag game should come with. Overall, I feel that you should definitely pick this up, but be aware that it may not ever blossom to what it should blossom to
