The story and characters were built with strong convictions. (The only downside was toward the end.)

The world building is fantastic. The detail on architecture and environment designs is great. You'll even see mirages in the deserts if you spend enough time traveling through them. The game is open world; however you'll have to avoid certain zones until you're the appropriate level. I don't mind that but it will limit your exploration for awhile.

Senu's an important companion. She allows you to spot enemies while you're sneaking. However, her view can be limited and it's too easy to lose sight of treasure icons. I had a couple instances when the game wouldn't recognize I killed a captain. I'd have to close the game completely.

At the end, the collectibles drag on when you have to fully explore every single area on your map. Don't get me wrong. I loved playing this and exploring. But at a certain point, collectibles become a chore.
