While this game isn't perfect, it's truly been an enjoyable game. Certainly one of the most underrated games I've played in a while. This game has a lot to offer and has a lot of replay value. My kid just killed me on hard mode with perma death at level 80 playing around when I set my phone down. It has cheats built in and a normal mode that even casual players can finish, lots of hours of gameplay, and hard more as well as permanent death if you want a real challenge. Just play it!

I waited a while to write this because I wanted to get to know the game better now that I do: *The AI for the companion/s is bit wonky. They never stop running when you're standing still and will sometimes stand by while you get attacked/start attacking. *Skills like cooking, smelting, and mining in particular are somewhat hard to progress because it isn't very clear where to go to mine ore, or where to find a cooking fire. Still an amazing game 10 out of 5 *****

I wasn't expecting anything great but my play pass subscription was going to waste so I tried this. I'm blown away. This is epic. There is so much to do. The game is full manual control for the character your using. You fell more powerful with every level up of whatever you level. there's a lot. the story is solid and so many side quests and poi. many dungeons to find on a huge map full of many types and huge hordes of enemies. beat main game in about 50 hours. still so much to do. GREAT GAME
