I think i’m burnt out on open world games. It sucks that it had to be THIS game’s play-through where I realized it, but oh well

while at first collecting was an enjoyable activity, after hour 20 it really started to drag. the combat grew stale, switching between stances depending on enemy type is cool but I can only spam square and triangle so many times. I tried to vary it up with stealth but… a pure stealth approach is boring for similar reasons. If the combat had some more depth to it, I might still be playing?

I know if I gunned through this it would’ve taken maybe a few more hours, but I hate the idea of leaving so much content on the table, but I also hate basic collection shit… so the spiral starts.

This isn’t to say I think this game is entirely bad! It’s so fucking pretty, and the side stories are interesting (for the most part. some of those tiny scenarios just feel like busy work.)

sucks that I don’t have tolerance for the ubisoft open-world style anymore. que será, será. i might consider picking this back up in a few years but for now, I’m good.
