Damn, having played the leaked game for a few hours I can definitely tell why. I can't wait to play this game on Switch this weekend.

no spoilers.. just favorite feature so far? (don't know how much you've played)
edit: sorry if OT

I would say that this game is pure exploration in the same vein as if I went outside in the real world and started walking in random directions. No matter what scale you look at, there is something to explore and goodies to find. And they make you work for it. Fast travel is not as all-encompassing as in other open-world games, it is more for bridging huge regions which would take half an hour to cross otherwise. Otherwise you are walking, riding, and sailing to get where you want to go.

 

The experience is just so well knitted together that it is hard to choose a favorite without citing others, but the overall theme is exploration.
