It’s hard to really accurately describe this, but I think this game ranges from a 6 to a 7 for me. The beginning is alright at first but it really starts to drag out. Littered between all the genuine story and cool areas is a lot of unnecessary quests that really detract from the game. It’s a shame that this is the beginning of the game, especially since it deters many from getting into the game. I believe it is an issue and there should be a fix to make it easier to get interested in the game.
However, the positives of this game come from the final missions, the dungeons, and the community. A very weak start but I kid you not once it picked up near the final act forward, everything has been fun for me.
