Pros:
Nice progression loop: You basically have to hoard stuff, kill stuff, craft gear, go back to killing and so on. Sometimes the upgrades are quite meaningful
Lots of weapons, some with completely different game styles
The story guides you through just about the whole entirety of the game, I wasn't even THAT interested in the story itself tbh, I thought I'd play this mostly as a time filler but I was somewhat captivated, the story is coherent and even if you don't really pay attention, it gets to you
Nice graphics. I like the zones and all
Nice armors. Some look absolutely awesome and are designed so damn well(though for the most part, full sets are useless and you end up looking like a chimera if you mix gear to maximize stats not looks)
The game challenges you, and some victories feel awesome

Cons:
-The targeting is really weird for a PC game. Gets a bit of time to get used to... You can't attack as in usual games with a mouse and keyboard, you can have your character right next to a mob and hitting thin air instead of the giant monster taking up the entire screen. Auto targeting is just horrendous. Again, it just gets time to get used to, not a dealbreaker
-Dodge is problematic. First off, you can't stop mid combo to dodge, if an attack animation starts, you have to see it through, even as you see a giant fire breathing dragon running towards you. That's incredibly stupid. There's also some invulnerability frames to dodging, but for the most part, you can't rely on it. It's really inconsistent.

This review is for the base game only. I have way more issues with the DLC expansion which I won't get into here. I don't regret buying it, but I won't be recommending that to anyone. This base game however, is an overall great game imo, and worth a buy even if you(like me) start playing late
