One of the best open worlds I’ve ever played. Very ambitious with the amount of systems in the game. Dev team worked extremely hard fixing bugs and making dozens of QoL improvements within the first month of launch. This game does a lot of things great, but it’s far from perfect.
The controls are wacky, the story is forgettable, the puzzle solutions can be obtuse/unintuitive. The graphics when dark were terrible (inside buildings, caves, and nighttime in a city).
The choice to make the platinum tied to the challenges was a fun way to show off the different systems and weapons, until you realize you have to obtain a collectable BEFORE the challenges will appear. 141 collectibles, to be specific, scattered around a giant map.
Fortunately, the platinum doesn’t require 100% completion otherwise you’d be looking at close to 400-500 hours.
Overall I’m glad to have played this game, I’m proud of the platinum. I did very much enjoy this game, but I’m glad to finally move on to something different. Hades 2 is next up for me.
