Looks like the world isn't level gated like other open world games. It's more adventure than RPG. I don't think it has level scaling, you can go where you want, when you want. Enemies stay the same. Someone correct me if I'm wrong though

Looks like a solid game overall. Outside of some of the mobile looking item menus (ick) and the "Latinx" style naming convention with androgynous main characters, the exploration aspect looks a lot of fun and the world sure is pretty.
Will probably pick it up as a nice palate cleanse in between the more grittier games.

Can only speak for XsX, but it's stellar. I can't really imagine it going any further.
Many of them are fantastic and tons of fun. Great variation too.
However, there are some, mostly optional ones in vaults to get the chests that made me want to break stuff. Absolutely infuriating stuff.

Thanks.
I would not call them super hard. What they are is sort of fast and slick. Meaning you go in look around and sort of GO TO WORK. As I discussed in the review sometimes you can get momentarily puzzled but its not exactly about that.
Just really enjoyable man

I can tell I'm really going to like this game. The visuals remind me of Rime, which I liked, I like open world titles, action based combat, and puzzle solving. I heard some reviews complain about the puzzles that they were too easy, but based on what I gathered from the game, I agree with
Karak
assessment that lengthy and elaborate puzzles might hurt the pacing of a world where you want to explore and action style combat. Though I don't think it would've killed the game necessarily.
I haven't played Valhalla yet, but looks like it's gonna be a winter full of Ubisoft games between these and if I ever get back to Watch Dogs.

I'm looking forward to tech breakdowns too. Especially considering the impressive draw distance

"Rave reviews"? Game just barely got into green on MC, sitting at measly 75. PS Plus tier.

You know you can play more than one game at a time.
And one of the new systems even makes switching between them very easy.

This seems up my alley, and Karak's review put me over the top. I don't know if I can wait for the inevitable Ubisoft sale.

I am torn... I want this game but on Switch.
Mainly because I know once Cyberpunk comes this game won't see the disk drive of my Xbox for a long ass time.
But then somebody put out the most unfair and lopsided comparison video of all time and now I can't unsee it...
Seriously who thought it was fair to do this haha...

Definitely going to pick this up on the PS5 once it goes on sale which I think it may rather quickly.

I really like what I've seen from the game, but I find the whole thing with the female protagonist running around in blatant '' male boobplate '' really off-putting.
I tend to play female characters, but that's also because I prefer female characters visually. Why the hell is the female character literally wearing a breastplate shaped for a male character tho?

I have no issue with the accents, in fact, I really like that part of it. It's the poor writing and direction I have a problem with. It's all so iver the top with unpleasanr pitching and shit.
Less stupid comedy would have sorted it out.

Well it is an Ubisoft game... If their is one thing you can expect from ubisoft it's tower climbing and shitty bugman attempts at humour.

Decent reviews. I'll pick it up when I'm done with Demon's Souls, Valhalla and Cyberpunk.
Should be something to keep me entertained during the inevitable drought in the first half of next year.
Those accents are awful, sounds like someone trying to fake a Greek one.

many of the lower reviews are on the PS5 & PC pages....where the game has a 75 & 77 meta, respectively. Dunno why it's broken down like that....

I played WD Legion, AC Valhalla (which for me is the best AC for ages) and the Fenyx Rising demo...and at least for me Fenyx Rising is the most fun. I can't really agree with some of the average reviews, if you put it in relation and context and see what kind of games got similar or better ratings in some cases.
I sometimes have the feeling that reviewers put too much emphasis on personal subjective preferences and therefore some games tend to be "worked off" as quickly as possible without really getting involved in the game or taking a neutral approach from the start. There are few reviewers where I do not have this feeling. ACG/Karak is one of the few. So keep up the good work and entertaining reviews.

Ordered this on PS5 for £45 - looking forward to playing it. Also got Ubisoft+ on PC, so pre-loaded it there too as I don't think it will arrive in time.
