Playing before the final release, the game feels a bit limited. The skill trees are super boring, giving 5% incremental bonuses here and there and the combat feels really simplistic on the lower levels. The game isn't a looker either, but runs surprisingly well, a lot better than the available demo, especially after locking to 60fps. And whatever it lacks in graphical fidelity, it does make up in style. The world looks interesting and is pretty fun to explore. You shouldn't be buying a prouduct based on a future promise, so getting the EA version is you getting an ok fantasy rpg. It feels competent but safe.
I'll preface this by saying that I have extreme open world fatigue, or maybe I never really liked the genre in the first place. I do like dystopias, cyberpunk themes, rpgs and shooters. I think that Cyberpunk is beautiful, quite immersive but also middling, slow, and at times super annoying. Every good, gripping dialogue has its annoying and meandering counterpart, every good action packed moment seems to have a "Sinnerman"-mission counterpoint that just pulls you out of it. The 2.0 update felt nice and fresh, and gave the game some new wings, but I just can't find anything here that makes me want to play it more.
