Hell Yes!
I'm starting to become a real fanboy of sony playstation exclusive single player games. The game's a gem.
I've enjoyed my first playthrough through this beautiful of a game. It's big, adventurous, beautiful and fun at the same time. From the intriguing story, to the monster killing, the game kills it in most of the possible ways.
Even though I like so much about the game, let me mention a few things which seemed quite rough for a game:
1) the melee combat is just bad. Nothing to like about it and nothing to love about it. It's needed but used 1% through the whole game. And sometimes even the normal combat seemed clunky, sometimes dodge just doesn't work properly or you bump into stupid things and get killed.
2) The dead faces in dialogues. I've enjoyed main story dialogues, but some of the side ones felt like a mumbling the whole time and nothing to get interested into, nevertheless, the dead face expressions along the game, just make it even less fun. I've just came across it's DLC and can already feel the improvement, imaging the improvement in the 2nd franchise game.
3) Scene cuts, some of them have weird teleportation movements and bugs, glitches which distract at times.
4) Even tho there's a lot of weapons, items and so on. Felt limited on not being able to find even rarer collectibles or modifications throughout the game. once you get collectibles map, that's all there is to it. you won't find by accident or somehow anything else more valuable.
5) Unlocking strong items such as armor or an enchanted spear is only available after you beat 90% of the game. I've explored the world before doing main quests and did everything before and guess what, im stuck at progression through the storyline.
6) Climbing only on the yellow nipples popped out. No free climbing here. It helps but limits us.
7) Overriding things just felt so unimportant throughout the whole game. Repairing them or taking care. Just a feature if you want to have. Used it only a few times.
Other than that the game's great. Completed it on hard and still have to finish dlc and get that new game + achievement on ultra hard so more to come.
UPDATE: Just completed DLC and straight afterwards Newgame+ on ultra hard, (wasn't so hard tho') but basically rushed through the game only main quests in newgame+ since I did everything in the normal mode. Just for the last achievements, wasn't as long, completed the game in 4 hours or so and got the last 3 achievements. The game's freaking fun, can't wait for the Forbidden west to come out on the pc
