When they released the demo video to showcase their "movement parkour magic" or whatever they called it my heart sank, because the only reason they would put this much effort into making movement look pretty is if the open world is giant and empty and they needed something to keep the players from getting bored while traversing it.

The demo was more or less that (though less of it than I was expecting tbh), but had a bunch of other issues as well. At least you can turn the dialogue off, but that just leaves a giant wad of silence in its wake. The combat is very boring after the first few encounters, though I think they also did a really poor job introducing it in the demo. I couldn't tell you if enemy designs were good or bad, because there are so many particle effects and they blend in so much with the background that I could hardly even see them. In some battles you were fighting the lock-on more than the enemies.

Overall I do like the idea conceptually, but it was a truly joyless experience.

tbh, other than games like GTA, i dont understand the appeal of open world games. They usually just end being a whole lotta nothing, you take in the sites a few times then there's just nothing to do otherwise in it, ffxv being an example from square
