I really enjoyed it. Combat was pretty satisfying. You could easily stick with the same combos or mix it up.
I will say that I was disappointed with the item bloat. It felt similar to Borderlands with how often I had to be managing my inventory. It wouldn’t have been too big a deal if it wasn’t for the fact that selling items is by far the best way to get money. Luckily there are plenty of chances to sell in between quests.
That’s my only real gripe about the gameplay. Poopsocked the game all weekend when it came out and it was the most fun I’ve had playing videogames in a long time.
100% percent the game is a lot better if you like HP. Idk how fun it’d if you weren’t a fan. Also because there seems to be some assumed lore knowledge.
