I got this game with no prior knowledge other than playing the witcher 3 and enjoying it. I have no expectations of different features of the open world or anything of the sort. This game is buggy but not unplayable, you do need a good PC to run it, but it is using the latest and greatest visual APIs so what do you expect.... The story is so far really interesting and the side quests are fun too, it reminds me of the witcher 3, plenty to do but not a true open world in the sense that GTA is. A large world with plenty to explore. I disagree with all the hate, yes the game has bugs but nothing game breaking. The core game is really great, nothing groundbreaking but the witcher 3 wasnt as amazing as everyone seems to remember either. I think the general expectations were high and this failed to reach them, but for me its great and worth the money. If you like single player games with a brilliant story and side quests, own a better than average PC then I would recommend playing this game, no rush though, might be worth waiting for a couple of patches as the one annoying bug is that this game eats all my 8gb of VRAM which tanks the frame rate after about 1.5hrs playing
