The solid and surprisingly challenging action RPG combat, great characterization, exciting story direction, and the finale are all good enough to make me forgive how absolutely fucking atrocious some of the padding is. Make no mistakes the padding is atrocious tho love to have the game's momentum come to a screeching halt to mess with switches and climb things for 1-2 hours multiple times cause god forbid this game be under 30 hours. Besides that it's great tho
