Yesterday I played it for about two hours (I already played it before, a little). Well then it crashed and i didn’t feel to start it up again. It looks pretty much like a total console game to me. You’re thrown into a world, your hero has a unique ability and if he would die the world would collapse. They also put some effort in the dialogues to make him sound extremely cool. Oh wow here the expected saviour of the world is coming and everyone underestimates him… sounds like some japanese cartoon series.
When you walk on snow there will be a quickly dissappearing water bubble on it that is as big as the whole footprint.
The maps look also limited to me, well you know little consoles don’t like it when you can look over 100 square kilometers. Then youre thrown in fights that are totally inconsequential and the explanation for why you have to do something to win this fight is uncomprehensible. It’s just an excuse for having no logical reason to do this. It looks more like Diablo III than Dragon age.
Well maybe it gets better in time but what I am really disappointed of is that it seems that you really can’t trust any reviews anymore.
Edit: Well there is even more. Your armor and weapons are blood splattered after fighting against ghostlike creatures. Everywhere is snow but on a pillar in the middle of it you can’t even see one snowflake. Your character slides down snowy ladders, saving 30 seconds, without any reason to hurry! That is the most awkward thing I have ever seen. As if it wouldn’t be risky at all to break your neck as the only one being able to save the world, right?
The only good thing is that the textures have a high resolution although I still see a few aliasing effects when I max everything out. So that is not even as good as people say and I guess you can have a graphical experience on a PS4 that is not much worse.
