2 stars for an absolutely gorgeous world
To bring clarity over the 2-3 star reviews one might see, they are absolutely deserved by the game because the gameplay itself is horrible, and this comes from someone with over 400 hours on Steam and someone who created builds to trivialize hardcore with all negative perks whilst being merciful and virgin runs. What this game does very well is creating a believable world, which was the main reason why I spent so much time playing it, whilst studying various objects within. I can tell you every historical inaccuracy this game has. If you are passionate about that, like me, 5/5 stars. The game's codex is a gem. Why the 2 stars? Most players want gameplay, and that is just boring. Fights are challenging until you level up a bit and then with the right perks and armour it becomes trivial, even on hardcore merciful runs. A lot of QoL features are missing, with the excuse that 'the game is highly realistic'. Spending half of your time looking at a time wheel passing by is NOT realistic. Awkward combat that can be easily abused by master striking is NOT realistic. Eating only raisins is NOT realistic, because if you eat normal food, then your energy drops and you can do less in a day, leading you again to the stupid time wheel watch, so you need to consume medieval potions equivalent of taurine based drinks to get energy. 90% of the time you spend grinding and doing boring chores until you become rich through the dlc town, or by boringly looting and selling stuff. After that the game becomes hollow since you have the stuff you want and the story is rarely interesting. Even selling is a chore because sellers need to be constantly traded and tipped in order for them to get more funds. The story is a chore, and besides a few nice moments and quests it is lackluster and very disappointing. What's more sad is that the story turns sour exactly after its best moments, ruining them, not to mention it felt unfinished.
