... great main plot. This game should be an interactive movie. Plotlines of V, Johnny and other important NPCs are at top lvl. Open world's elements are boring and unnecessary for this game. Just skip fist fights, car races and fixer's gigs - playing this way you will save much time. I've played on 1.31 patch, technically it was ok.
Conflict between Ashe and Nerat in 1st act is so infantile, that I almost give up and stop playing. Main plot in 1st act is awful, sidequests are boring but at least short. However worlbuilding is interesting, there is a nice fight and magic mechanic and general idea of role-play a bad character is very good.
This is a great game but we have 2020 and there are still some bugs with vanishing NPCs and locked quests. Technology is also outdated - after almost 100h in game I was really in pain because of tons of loadingscreens. With HDD loadings are really annoying in this particular game. But still - the mainplot is very interesting (however quite short in comparision to rest of the game) and the worldbuilding with sidequests is amazing -this is the strongest advantage of PoE.
Good linear experience, but not for everyone. To enjoy you have to accept close view from camera and uncomfortable feeling during fights. If you deal with that, combat is rewarding and quite spectacular, especially in second half of a game. Plot is interesting but not very subtle, however acting of main haracter (Senua) is awesome and this is something you should see on your own.
