Having just finished the main game, I wanted to make a new review and talk about how harsh I was with my first one. I think the game is somewhat decent, and while I think a lot of my original criticisms still stand, I think this game does a good amount right. I mentioned that combat and the world design were boring, but I don't think that's my opinion anymore. The combat grew on me quite a bit. It's not amazing by any means, but can be pretty fun at times. The world is beautiful as well, and the variation in environments makes it less stale. I definitely still think the characters, story, costume design and quest design aren't great, but I was surprised to have got semi-hooked to the game so as to finish its main story and a good chunk of the side content.

I would love to hear why anyone would give this game 5 stars though, not to belittle those people, but to try and understand, as I still firmly believe this game does absolutely nothing to stand out from its open world predecessors.
