the sky's still blue

the controls feel kind of cumbersome and clunky, and there's weird button mapping choices on console like making the jump button the same as the 'interact with literally anything' button, and making it so that you have to hold forward on the control stick at all times to move on horseback. the quests so far (i'm in chapter 7) are really basic and lack any real depth or complexity. there's no real variety in enemy types with the exception of the boss battles.

all that being said i sincerely applaud the dev team for actually listening to feedback and trying to make improvements. you don't think there are enough fast travel points? well we just added some more! you don't like how we button mapped? well now you can change it. they are already on update number 10 and they keep rolling updates out with pretty significant improvements and additions.

very importantly they allow me to have dogs that i can put little clothes on and have follow me around, cats that can ride around on my shoulders all day, and a little baby dragon that can grow into a big dragon i can ride.

not only can you fight but you can fish and farm and hunt and mine and dye and on and on and on to the point where it's kind of overwhelming just how much stuff you can do and how many mechanics are available.

so I give credit where credit is due, they are clearly trying to make something with broad appeal and they do seem to take feedback really well and adjust accordingly, so kudos to them for that.
