After playing it for a bit longer, I can recommend but I feel this game is nowhere near a masterpiece as I initially thought.

Gameplay loop is pretty repetitive and boring, always the same stuff, kill mongols or bandits, a bit too bland and uninspired. In a chaotic world, devs could have made WAY more.

Exploration is alright, but environments just get to a point where they are more of the same, no variation, still, great graphics.

Performance is fine for the most part but I do get micro stutters sometimes, and the only solution is to close and reopen the game. It doesn't happen often, but I can't replicate it at will, especially since HW is not being pushed to the max. Other people experience plenty of other issues, and it boils down to the game not being properly optimized,as is per usual with these triple AAA games.

Wait for a discount.
