That was my main critique as well, sad to see it hasn't been addressed at all. I know it's optional but I also know how I can't stand unfinished icons / clutter on a world map. I wish games would have the option in the settings to turn off / completely hide filler content.

I'll put this game on the maybe list, I still have DS2 to play anyway. 

Who the hell gave GoT a 5/10.... yo, explain yourself.

GoT seems to be worse is from my take away of reviews but better if you slowed down and treat the game like RDR2. Peoples pace would effect GoT greatly. You enjoy photo modes right? Use that as a way to pace yourself but Sven, you're going to love DS2. The more I look back at that game the more I see it is a masterpiece. Don't what for the winter, get in now and enjoy yourself. It's one of those games that'll take a month anyway if you're going for the plat, easily 110 hours at optimal efficiency but closer to 130. 

Each to their own I guess, I don't particularly enjoy super repetitive tasks in gaming.

PSN accept refunds for games you never played for some days after you bought them.

Not here. Tried it before when I bought a deluxe edition by accident, they would not refund without a reason, the game needed to be broken or some such. 

Regardless, I've taken this as a sign the universe wants me to play this game and I could damn well do with a game to play and be able to lock in on, I'd have probably played silksong for a few hours and dropped it which would probably be the worse use of my current funds. 

Ghost is with the best of them though, it had variety and novelty. The platforming sections to things you're obviously supposed to take a breather with like Haikus. It might be on me though, I deliberately played that game at a snails pace, logged over a 100 hours more than the completionist How Long to Beat time. I can't imagine what the game would be like playing from beat to beat with no pausing but I can't imagine it would be half as bad as Assassin's Creed and Ubisoft games, it's got like a quarter of the map markers and collectibles one of those games would have and the density of bloat is spread way, way thinner than those games. I don't know what people are asking here, make an empty world with nothing to do or make the game linear and ruin the sense of scale of the map and the beauty of coming at scenes from random angles with everyone posting the same photos... nah, Sucker Punch know very well why players loved Tsushima and they have focused on that and it should be a fantastic thing. Fingers crossed anyway. 

You definitely can refund your preorder if you did not start downloading it yet.

Anyway, I can't wait for it to ship to me.

I already preloaded and don't care now, 15 minutes on the timer and I'm actually excited for this one now. 

It's very early to say but there has been no vibes in my first two hours, things that should wow me haven't at all. The MC holds no gravity and there is zero connection or attempt at such while throwing you straight into her story and my God does she make an insanely annoying child with the most repulsive exaggerated voice right out of The Simpsons season one and this is bringing down my impression of her in the present. I wish the Yotei six would have finished the job, save the world from that damn voice.
