This game was an incredible experience I'm still working on getting 100% but I've enjoyed all the time I've spent liberating tsushima and the journey on iki, while mostly pretty bland the increase in difficulty was a nice change of pace.

I bought this game way back when it first came out and was really excited to play it but I got distracted for 8 years so never played through the game fully until recently. it's not an insanely large game but it's a good 20 hours of content give or take. The bosses at times can feel very unfair but it is a classic example of learn and then win classic GinoMachino style. the achievements aren't too far fetched so perfecting it (if that's what you're into) isn't too annoying.

I just want to take a moment and appreciate the world of this game because this purgatory island idea with all the characters feeling cloudy and confused slowly collecting their thoughts and piecing the "truth" together and I just thought that was quite fun.

If you find this gem in a bundle or on sale I would highly recommend picking it up and actually playing through it.

If you're getting it purely for multiplayer and you can get it on sale or something the actual gameplay is moderately good but every other aspect of the game falls very very short at least in my opinion.

Unfortunately this game suffers from poor management, the developers have continually failed the community with false promises of fixing bugs & balance. currently the game is in Season 17 and everything is broken most classes are either unplayable due to bugs or have just been nerfed to the point of being unable to do hell5. furthermore there are a ton more bugs resulting in completely random 1 shots and the only way we had to deal with it was the jewel crafting which is broken and you have to do several work-arounds just to craft a jewel and then on top of that they released patch notes last night saying they were going to fix "everything" but in reality none of the fixes on the "patch notes" actually worked and all they did was turn the auction house back on and all the players that were duplicating items and rubies(important currency) just completely buy out the auction house.

TL;DR : Devs are ♥♥♥♥ and dont actually fix things.
