Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
I'd love to dive deeper into the story line and discover all the secrets this game has to offer but unfortunately its just not worth it to explore every inch of the map when i cant even use the fast travel system to actually fast travel without getting stuck under the map or the game crashing on me.

Overall, thanks to the graphics and the fact that the gameplay is pretty fun so far, I will rate this positive.

The accompanying soundtrack, composed with a documentary sensibility, enhances this mood, creating moments that feel calm, reflective, and occasionally tense.
