Bought this game day 1 on Epic and then later day 1 again on Steam.
This is a 10/10 recommend for everyone.

A lot of suffering throughout the game, only to then kill Sword Saint Isshin on my very first attempt.
Incredible game, with a massive learning curve. Once it klicks you're almost unstoppable, except for Demon of Hatref of course...
10/10 would play again, though I still prefer FromSofts Souls-like games.

Cozy little game with great music, some neat environmental storytelling as you progress through the years and a few cute eastereggs.

Takes about 3 to 4 hours to complete.

Incredible game with a masterclass in map and enemy design.
Combat is challenging but satisfying and rewarding.

Coming from Elden Ring and DS3 it does feel a bit outdated though, despite not being that old.
Still absolute top tier and close to perfection.

I don't have a single negative thing to say about this expansion. Story, characters, music, voice-acting, world, missions, gameplay and grafics are all top tier. This is as good as it gets.
Also adds stuff that bleeds into the main game.

I'm really torn when it comes to giving a positive or negative review. On the one hand I did have fun and enjoyed core things about the game.
On the other hand the negative list is a bit longer with some bigger annyoances.

Things I liked:

- Story (Main and Side)
- Lore
- Characters
- Shipbuilding
- Core Gamplay
- Combat
- Music
- Soundeffects
- Very few bugs

Things I disliked or missed:

- Graphics and graphics options
- Animations (Mostly the character and facial ones)
- Little to no modern QOL features or settings
- Perfomance is abysmal, even on my high end PC
- Loading screens and how the "map" works. Why is every single house/base/cave behind a loading screen?
- No Land-Vehicles. Landing on a planet and having to run 500 meters every single time is quite annoying
- Mods on day one improving the game massively (like the inventory mod, FOV and DLSS)
- Lack of cutscenes and character interactions with other characters and the world
- Dialog Options (A lot of really unvelieveble responses from your counterpart, espacially when persuading someone)
- Mute Protagonist. Cyberpunk for example has really raised the bar with this.
- NPCs walking faster and running slower than you...
- Everything feels small. New Atlantis, Neon, Akila feeling a lot smaller and more unalive than characters in the game make them out to be. Neon espacially feels really lacking.
- No transmog system

Overall it just feels so outdated and pale in comparison with Cyberpunk2077 or other current RPGs.
But still, fun has been had.
I'd give this game a 7/10.
Probably coming back in a few months to replay with some more mods.

Still a masterpiece, despite horrible PC port.

Costs more money than you get frames per second
