The story may seem a bit complicated at first, and the beginning tutorial terrible, but it's only made that way because it will make you want to delve deeper into the story and figuring things out on your own. Very little hand-holding in fighting style, and how you intend to defeat bosses and such. Not completely open world, but definitely shouldn't be because the game is heavily story driven (even more than skyrim) and that would sort of take away from the plot. If you play this game, totally take your time to understand whats going on and do some side quests, (which help you level up and train to keep up with fighting in the main story). The third chapter was too short imo, and I wish they had made it longer, like chapter 2.
