I was considering it, mostly because I thought Black Desert Online seemed like a lot of fun and this one has a lot of potential / looks impressive.
I've been interested in this game since it was announced (2019). But I don't have as much free time for it as I'd like these days (pregnant fiancé).
A couple of things that detract from it so far for me is it has that warriors-like / hack-and-slash vibe (fighting 20 mobs all at once). You can't create your own custom character with its own build it seems, gotta play the chick for a wizard/ranged vibe it seems. Game seems almost too open world to a fault.
My education on how the game actually is is limited though.
EDIT: He says it takes 8 hours before the game gets fun. My track record lately is I play 6-12 and quit, so IDK if I can do that lol.

Probably after a lot of patches and a decent sale. Watched the reviews etc .... Still not entirely sold on it to get it at full price/release. It looks kinda cool, but at the same time the game and the open world looks a bit too dry and boring to me despite all the reviews praising the exploration.

I like the game but man there are a lot of stupid little missions, not to mention clearing out the Quarry is one of the most tedious things ever.

This feels like one of those forgettable games that I could easily pass on that got really hyped up for some reason.
I think my biggest problem with this game is simply how I already have too many games like it. Can't count how many big open world action/RPG sort of games I have by now. This looks fine, I got nothing to hate on it with, but there is also nothing drawing me to it either.
I think one of the biggest issues I got with this sort of game is what massive time sinks they are. I simply don't have time for every game like this that comes along, so it needs to really appeal to me or it's just not worth bothering with IMO. That said I often seem to pick up games like this when they are heavily discounted on sale. It's not a wish list game for me but the type of thing I might add to my cart when browsing sale games if it's cheap enough.

I’m having fun with the game but I’m not addicted. The NPCs take way too long to kill so I downloaded a trainer to one shot them.
