Give it a chance
This game is really different to me because it just pretty much throws you out in this big open world after a very short tutorial. It's ridiculous on how big the world is and how much exploring you can do. The main quest is pretty short, a joke, and boring in the beginning, but its well wroth it when you start collecting the relic (mid point of the quest) all the way to the end of the game. There are sooo many side quests and exploring in this game, it will keep you busy for a long long time. There is a lot of freedom in this game, which is really good because you can do whatever you want and there is so much to do if you don't feel like doing the main quest.
This game will take time to get use to and to like. It's a very simple combat system. All you do is swing a few times or cast a few spells, then hit B to dodge the enemies attack. Sounds boring, but it's really fun and you'll become pro at it. There are a ton of spells and weapons in this game, and leveling up is like the old school xp lvling which is way easier and faster imo. Overall, great game, especially worth the price right now because there is just so much to do in this game. Oh and one last note, I RECOMMENDED YOU GIVE THIS GAME AN HOUR OR SO BEFORE YOU JUDGE IT.
