Very Good but Flawed
This is the best RPG I played since the Witcher 3... however it is no Witcher 3. The quality of this game is excellent - the combat mechanics, the horse riding, the RPG system, survival elements (eat and sleep), healing and taking care of your equipment. The gameplay as it were is really good and fun. My gripe is with the story. This is a long game (60+ hours). There are side quests, however mostly you will be doing the main quest and this is where I have issues with the game. There are very few choices you can make, even during dialogue. You are not shaping the character of Henry, you are guiding him along the rails. You cannot determine what he will say (apart from some meaningless persuade/intimidate/charm interactions outside of the main quest). You have multiple ways how to achieve an objective, however the result is always the same. There are no long-lasting effects of your decisions, because you make no decisions. There are also no multiple endings. There is one. And oh yes, the ending. There is none. I play for the Story and stay for the Gameplay. This game really made me enjoy as much content as there was, but when I finally hit the end credits and after a short epilogue was booted into the main menu I felt very... cheap. The proper term would be sequel-bait. As is the game does not feel finished. The story is not resolved. There is no closure. To be continued in a sequel or a dlc! And just like with movies and TV-Shows a good ending can make a bad movie awesome. A bad ending can break an otherwise really good movie. I feel like this is the case. I can recommend playing this game for the journey it offers, however be prepared that there is no satisfying conclusion of any kind. And after finishing it once and seeing the ending that /is/ here, I feel discouraged at a second playthrough. Having almost no replay value outside of some side quests and persuasion interactions, there is no replayability here.
Hilft dir das weiter?
