The issue is that I've been big into the open-world stuff so I'd hate to buy it only for it to not be my thing.
I've already wasted money on Binding of Issac after multiple assurances that it's really good only to find it out it's not for me.
I mean, it's the game that most of the big open world games are sort of basing themselves on, for better or worse.
Honestly, it's hard for me to recommend over Skyrim on the PC just because of the mod support. IMO - Skyrim is top 50 games of all time, Modded Skyrim is top 5.
