I started playing it last week. And liked it for a few hours. So that's some enjoyment I got out of it. But it got dull quick. A few hours in and I could already see the seams. And is sad, because there's potential in every aspect, but it falls short on everything. I had fell asleep a few times, no joke. I only have a few hours in but so far I can say that:
The world looks wonderful from afar, but it is indeed empty and very repetitive, reusing many assets over and over. Is nice to look at, but don't look too deep.
The only advantage XV's combat has over XIII is that it is not turn based, but it's still pure spectacle over substance. Is nice to look at, but don't look too deep.
Every other aspect of the game: Is nice to look at, but don't look too deep.
