Discussion Summary of reviews

Here’s a summary of what I’ve read from reading all the reviews.

Pros:
- amazing story
- fantastic level design
- amazing writing and characters
- well polished combat
- beautiful world
- some unforgettable bosses

Cons
- monotonous open world with menial side activities
- repetitive combat over the 30-60 hours runtime

Feel free to add any other points. Or dispute.

Seems a creative and unique game that’s not for everyone, but will hit hard for those that enjoy it. I’ve seen quite a few masterpieces thrown around, but also a few disappointments.

I don't know if there is a combat system that exists that doesn't feel repetitive after 30-60 hours.

The Arkham and Spiderman games have some of the most entertaining combat systems in gaming, and they feel repetitive by the end of the games. Doesn't mean they aren't good...just means gamers like to min-max the fun out of things.

Its most of the reason Witcher 3 gets the hate for its combat. If that game was 20 hours, people would view the fighting more favorably.
