The game itself is fantastic. I've enjoyed my moments of playing the game!

Sony has walked back on their decision to make linking PSN accounts mandatory... however Sony has still not re-enabled the ability to purchase the game in the regions that did not have access to PSN. That is about roughly 170 countries that cannot purchase the game as of current.

Until such time Sony walks back on that decision, which seems unlikely as they further removed 3 more countries, I cannot recommend the game.
