I'm getting mixed comments about this game.

A lot of people say it's shallow as hell. While Others say it's a mess of a game with a lot of deep mechanics. And the anti-woke crowd is hope posting nonstop about how incredible this game is to nobody.

Then I see posts like this where the company seems alright and rewarding the team, rather than the more common story of sell a billion copies then fire everybody.

No idea how I'm supposed to feel and no urgency to play this game when I'm still catching up on the best games released like five years ago.

It’s this generation’s skyrim. Great if you retained your ability to wonder and have a lot of free time

It is kinda shallow compared to Skyrim though. A lot of mechanics are there just to use it once or twice (while struggling with controls) and then forget about it. The story is also abysmal and feels like one big AI hallucination.

I think being a kid when skyrim came out has clouded your memory of it

Oblivion Remastered was a amazing blast to the past with modern graphics. But man did I forget how much mods I threw on there to thoroughly expand on my oblivion experience.

I mean, there's an actual story, and the gameplay loop is consistent in the right way. It was an actual game and not a randomizer of all kinds of half-baked ideas

Shallow is the only word I use to describe Skyrim in current year

Ideally they'll do several dlc and updates for 2 3 years. That can be enough to make a good story.
