It starts out really cool, but it immediately drops that and turns into an incredibly boring and repetitive set of fetch quests. Carrying a bunch of stuff on my back and moving slowly through terrain that requires you to move even more slowly is lame. The NPC chatter is ridiculous; I feel like a child being forced to go to Sunday School when I keep getting long walls of dialogue that I didn't ask for.

The visual quality also effectively degrades the longer you play; you start noticing defects that start being the only thing you pay attention to. I've got settings maxed out and the aliasing effects on hair and foliage are still horrifically distracting.

I know number scales are objectively bad, but as a matter of my subjective review, I'd say this game is a solid 3/10.
