as of 14 hours of gameplay, i like the game, saw another review saying the story takes a backseat while the open world is a sandbox, i'm inclined to agree somewhat, i do like the story so far, not the best nor the most cinnematic but it's better than a lot of stuff coming out today in general media,
curently i give the game an 8/10, but i also havent left Hernand region and i know there are dragon mounts so we'll see, might be a better score later

Wuxia, beautiful, actually pretty compelling and well written story

if you like slow paced war sims, this is for you, if you love FPS games not so much.
You need to be strategic, don't upgrade your troops the moment they can get upgraded cuz then you can't pay their daily wage, set up caravans, start an income stream, how?
Participate in tournaments, do quests for people, get a small party around 10 and attack looters and bandits and sell their stuff, once you set up your first trade caravan you can easily support a 20-40 party size, and join a kingdom, don't start your own at early game, gotta have at least a few million gold, cuz them bribes and peace treaty deals are expensive AF

Sniping is fun! especially when there is a nazi at the end of the barrel

If you disregard that it's supposed to be a Sequel to the Mass Effect trilogy it's a pretty good game, as a standalone story set in the Mass Effect Universe it's pretty decent, yes it had it's quirks and lip sync was horrendous pre 1.10 update, but now it's decent, is it the best? no, but passable.

The companions are actually enjoyable, this was when Bioware actually still cared unlike the slop the call Veilguard

Ok to start off, yes it has great potential, i love the CAZ system (just a bit bare bones for now) however, it could use more clothing option, hair options... just more customization options in general, i know it's Early Access but i can't wait for more CAZ stuff.

while in the game, the environment is great, a bit empty with not a lot of things, like activities to do as of yet.

even so, i can recommend you try it out for yourself if you like life sim games

I'm glad to be back in Liberty City, this was what everyone on Xbox 360 played back as a teen when it came out, i made friends and just had a blast playing this. The multiplayer was actually fun with people just having fun, Grifters were punished back then, instead of GTA V Online where you can't even walk a block without getting sticky bombed

that said however, the outdatedness is showing, i still like the heavy driving feel but some things don't feel as good, still one of the better GTA games

Absolutly amazing, Great Story, and Nathan and Sam are voiced by my favorite Voice actors Nolan North and Troy Baker.

I've played more than 17hs since i also have the game on PS4, where I've finished the game 5 times already, it's a great game if you like RPGs and Swords'N'Magic type games, a little grittier than your normal fantasy stuff but nor really fully dark fantasy either, it's a balance between the two.

even if it's 9 years old it still holds up to this day.

All that being said if you've never played an Action RPG before this is not the game to start with since it don't use the classic "Take a potion to heal" type game, yes there are health potions but you don't really find them all that much, you either have to craft them or use abilities to heal, so just beware if you're new to RPGs. i still recommend the game heavily though.

I finished the game and it's fun, i wish there was a deeper character customization other than just presets
