The game isn't close to be as bad as people painted it. It's easier to just make a list of what's good and what's bad:
The Good:
- The story is not bland at all. It as good twists, although a bit cliché, and good hype moments.
- The combat is very flash although it requires a lot more hours to enjoy than a normal complex combat system for an action rpg. When you get it right, you actually can have a lot of fun.
- The bosses are very cool
- Parkour gets nice after a certain point in the story
- Ella balinska does a great job as frey's voice actor. Yes, she does. The cringe dialogue you see on twitter is completly out of context, and despite sometimes it has some faults, she does her work VERY well.
- The game is short and good. Doesn't drag you through the story or unecessary plot stalls.

The Bad:
- The map is insanely huge and makes it feel lazy to explore it. The interest points are very repetitive and not that worth to explore in terms of discovering something new.
- The first quarter of the game can easily leave a bad opinion of the game in general because it gets a lot better after that in very different ways, storywise and gameplaywise.
- Performance in ps5 was horrible (after day 1 patch and before any other patch)
