Essential RPG with *almost* no bs

4/5 game, pretty good visuals and plot. Gameplay-wise - not too challenging, few bugs with jumping and getting stuck, but I managed to free myself without restarting to checkpoint.
Worst things about the game - feels somewhat slow as if MC is moving through some viscous liquid all the time. Also player camera is garbage in many locations

Minor things/misses that I didn't really mind but they complicated things nonetheless:
- Combat pacing. I can see how ppl may experience problems with it, may seem clunky. But possible to manage + you get buffs later;
- Res management. Holy cow, do I REALLY need to re-craft these 6 arrows every time? Can I have an option for auto-crafting those? It's already a mess with all that resource gathering. I'm that guy that clears Skyrim dungeons for junk, but even I was baffled at the system here. No crafting = no arrows = failed combat. Either increase arrow/res capacity or re-work the system, please.
- Yaga being the same even while having "Rotten" persona. I don't care much, but would be good to see some reflection of this fact from the voice actor? Every Grand mushroom screams of me being filth incarnate but when Yaga opens her mouth - it's the same innocence talking.
- Add Phase ability or something similar. I can easily dash myself backwards into the corner and it's pretty much death after that. I think overall combat disengagement is kind of lacking esp. on earlier levels.
- Pointers to skill scrolls - please?
Why this review is negative:
THE PLOT - IT JUST DOESN'T CONNECT. That was the biggest challenge for me when side quests made much more sense than MC's words/actions. Mini-games were a torture for me, because of constantly trying to listen to Yaga's mumbling. Maybe it's just me, but by the end of the game I was pretty much "Let's just kill Baba and call it a day"

Gameplay aspects need polishing and this game will be solid 4/5 (given that someone loves the plot as it is)

Straight A game for boomers
