BEST GAME EVER

I see that most people love this game, but I don't get it. The graphics are great and it is very pretty and the combat is fun, but to me it is so repetitive that I'm bored: go to an arena-like setting, have combat, solve a couple puzzles, then move to new arena and repeat. Motion is extremely locked - can't go where they don't want you to go, can't fall off anything. Yes, I'm an open world kind of person and this locked, channeled, linear, directed type of game is just not for me. I really hate it when I lose control of the character and am forced into a cut scene, which feels like half the game. I bought it because of the great reviews, but inherently I want to explore and discover, and this is just not that kind of game. Just 9 hours in, but I have to talk myself into playing it, and that isn't right. People say the story is great, but after 9 hours there is still very little story.
