I don't care what all these naysayers are naysaying. I really love this game so far. Maybe after I've played 5 hours instead of 4 I will find something I don't like, but so far it's fun, the story is engaging, the NPCs are at least somewhat interesting and I like them, the crafting seems simple enough that even someone who hates crafting like me can do it, but involved enough that you can create so many different weapons. Best part is, the appearance of the parts used actually reflect on the appearance of your weapon. Put a banana for a handle on your sword? You actually see a banana handle. I don't know why you'd want a banana handle but I'm sure it serves some purpose I didn't care to explore by shoving a piece of fruit on my blade. The story is sufficiently intriguing (at least so far) to make me want to know more. The landscape is beautiful and a joy to explore. The jumping around so far is not difficult for even a platformer hater like me. There are side quests. Main quests. Secret stuff to discover. Look, what can I say? I love this game so far. But I think I said that already.
