This game is great.
After dropping this one for no apparent reason, I have finally come back and finished this one for good. The game is great but everyone already knows that, but like many others have said it really only works on that first go around. A lot of the magic is lost after knowing the ins and outs but still that first playthrough was magical. The wonder that this game's exploration gives is immaculate and nothing like I've seen before. It's one of the games that truly feels its earned the title of open world. This truly is an open world that is fully realized and if can you see it, chances are, you can actually visit it. The grand fairy tale setting while kind of bland for my taste still gives the game a larger than life aesthetic that works in its favor. After 100%ing this one with all the endings if I was to do it again I would've kept it to just one playthrough. A masterpiece to be sure but just one I won't be revisiting for a long long time.
