Fun for the first 36 hour long act, but I won't play another 30-something more hours of this to finish up its generic, thin storyline. I think for the entirety of my time playing this, there wasn't a moment where I felt let down by the combat or the breezy quality that you could feel while making progress through levels and storybeats. But I was always wondering--always--how this game in particular could be loved so much yet be so pleasantly boring? I don't get that part of it. But it was nice to play for nearly forty hours, so that says something.
I may have rated this higher had I not played so completionist and bothered with the tacked-on feeling side-quest stuff in Saga's missions, or for the numerous bugs I encountered and the suspicious/impatient attitude they fostered in me during moments where I didn't immediately know what to do. The monotonous stuff in Saga's campaign will always exist, but in the future maybe the bugs won't. So if I ever decide to replay this game (not sure why I would) I would play it differently and probably have a better time. Because, in the end, it's still a pretty good game.
