Choose your way to play, whether you’re looking for strategic combat and challenges or you prefer exploring the environment and fast-paced tactical missions.
The "tutorial" is spread out throughout the story but some mechanics like grouping could be explained and enjoyed sooner. Other than that is quite fun and runs well.
What an amazing game! It's been a long time since a game really felt fresh, new and just took me off guard!
I love the gameplay - easy to learn hard to master, it is dropdead gorgeous and is just a lot of fun.
There are some minor quality of life stuff that could be better but thats just small things compared to a awesome game.
