Ok finished. My opinion, the game is great but i wouldn't give it higher than an 8/10. I LOVE the art direction, story seems cool so far and the characters are lovable (especially the dynamic between lin and tatsu), but this is easily the most complicated game i've ever played. I don't need hand holding in a game but even learning everything is a pain. It actually feels like work getting into it. Did you know you can switch characters? don't know how, but you can. I got lost in nla pretty easily and didn't know you could fast travel. How could i not know that? Because there are like 5 different ways (map modes) to look at the map. Thats crazy. I'm pretty sure you can't explore 15% of primordia without taking on a sidequest. Why not just say "go do this side quest" as a requisite for chapter4? Instead i was searching primordia for 2 hours looking for the last of the stuff i couldn't find. I really don't want to do any side quests at first. I want to experience the story. Lastly, i'm really waiting for more enemy types that aren't wild life. They say right at the beginning that they don't want to mess with the planet too much and only focus on tyrants. I really like that kind of thinking. But, i need to level up and don't want to just go kill unsuspecting wildlife. Need more pig looking aliens to kill. Maybe they could have more enemy outposts to populate. That'd been cool.
Again, i'm really enjoying the game now, but man it just seems like it has a very low accessibility level. It's not a game i can recommend to any gamer. Pretty niche. Art style and exploration are easily the selling points.
All that being said, time to go play some more.
