❔ 1 time wonder experience for me
❔ Questline hunting is as per usual with Miyazaki games quite obscure to find on your own. It’s both pro & con
CONs:
❌ Still wish Japanese would learn to optimize games (game is built to 60 fps and still dips)
❌ Dumbassery EAC (but you can still play with mods & with friends with proper mods)
❌ CoOp functionality is rather limited and tedious (thank god for seamless coop mod, that’s how it should have been done)
❌ Creatures can be too fast, game relies on using spirit summons unless you extreme stepmania sanic reactionspeed 12y old.
❌ Side stuff (optional) is kinda copy paste for most part
❔ Replayability low for me due to extremely large world as I’m completionist.
