The game is phenomenal and there's always something new to learn or some new piece of equipment to build. The maps are gorgeous and the monsters are a blast to fight (except for the wind dragon). Even with end game gear the toughest bosses are still very challenging, rewarding players for exceptional use of skill with their weapon and learning the monsters' movesets instead of brute forcing a fight. While the story can be a little lackluster and the grind can be quite overwhelming at times, if you go into the game expecting to fight monsters you're almost guaranteed to have a blast. Other note would be the game does a very poor job of explaining many mechanics so you might have to consult a wiki every now and then. The community also does a good job of explaining said mechanics if you're willing to watch a couple Youtube videos regarding it. 9.5/10 game
