    Yes, I played the game. I still have it installed, so I’ll try again.

    Some games will hook you from the start and will not let you go until you finish them. Some will have you return even after you’ve finished because you enjoy being immersed in the world.

    This one felt like too much like reality to be fun, having to do heavy labour carrying stuff while being punished by black stuff popping up randomly from nowhere…

    It probably boils down to personal tastes, I’ve had this issue with some other games like Hellblade, Control, and Prey.

    It’s clearly not the grinding aspect because I’ve clocked 350 hours on Skyrim.

    Let me have another go, and I’ll get back to you.

      The entire bar building aspect/async multiplayer is hidden from the trailers. Might not be as fun if player counts are down

      There’s an argument to be made that this is intentional, funnily enough
