One QOL improvement I'd like to see in an update, is having a free camera, that doesn't orbit around the player. I want my next playthrough to be a pure archer, but getting those shots of enemies being stung by wasps, or blown up by barrels is going to be hard when the camera doesn't have a freeform mode.

I know right?! Other than Cyberpunk the rest of 2020 is an empty fucking calendar, and is unlikely to change! I can finally get serious work put into my backlog!

Edit: At least it's an empty calendar for me personally. Maybe other gamers have more games to look forward to, but I don't. 

Not sure what type of games you like. Would a Switch be for you? I know you like action games like GoT and Sekiro. But what would you buy on Switch other than BotW? 

In that case DQ11 S is a must own. Also look into Valkyria Chronicles 4, and Fire Emblem if you like SRPGs. Switch would be a good buy for you!

Just finished Yuriko's tale. So bittersweet.

Really enjoyable open world once I got the grappling hook. Was good before but there were some spots of confusion that now make sense with that tool.

Game looks unbelievable in motion during the right lighting conditions. Didn't think PS4 open world games could look this lively and flourishing. I can barely notice popin. The draw distance on vegetation and the sheer quantity of it at times is striking. I hope the ps5 enables native 4k60fps for this game and tlou2. Frame rate, ghosting artifacts from checkerboarding, these still hold visuals back from being as pleasing as possible.

The control scheme can get over whelming mid combat. You're character is able too do so much. However, this was a complaint I had with infamous 2 and second son. I felt more powerful at the end of infamous 1 than I did at any point in the sequels. Part of this was due to not having access to all powers at all times even when the inputs wouldn't really conflict with each other. Here, it's mostly not the case, and the game adds new tools fairly gradually so it's not too overwhelming. If I could make a single tweak: smoke bombs should just always be equipped. Left stick + r1 for other quick throwables, r1 only for smoke bombs.

Other than somewhat overwhelming controls, combat is damn fun. Especially once I got anti-spear stance and was allowed to kick people around. Timing parries and dodges was hard due to input delay at first, but I got used to it at this frame rate quickly enough.

Biggest gripes are:
1) I usually love stealth and it seems a little too easy in this game (playing on hard mode).

2) I wish kurusawa mode didn't necessarily butcher the audio quality. Would like that aspect of the mode to be a separate toggle. While we're at it, a new stylistic mode that keep the colors of flowers, non-green leaves, and blood but everything else black and white would be amazing

I'm still on act 1. I've put 20 hours so far. Side missions are starting to get too easy.

Thank you for the tip.

My only problem is that the minor side quests (like liberating mongol outposts) I'm doing aren't giving me much experience. It feels like it isn't worthy doing them (except the ones that drop good stuff).

I hope it makes Stealth either harder or needed. Been playing on hard mode, and never once needed to use stealth to survive. I think I'll give it a whirl once I platinum the game.

This is one of the best game I ever played. This is why Sony still the best.
