-Performance: Dogwater. The performance does not justify how the game looks. Changing settings from low to max gives at best 15 fps. Random stutters and loading times on a m2 sdd included. After combat there is an awkawrd 2 seconds of loading while fast traveling is instant.
-Alchemy basicly got removed and replaced with a crafting system you can find in other games. You just put the item with the highest number in the slots (item category doesn't matter in 95% of cases).
-If you want better items you now have to do open world exploration and do all the hundrets of "?" on the map which are all the same thing. Collecting better ingredients won't help you.
-Combat in theory has a good amount of mechanics but they are just bad or happen on they own. The only thing you do is spam skills and dodge. Switching between skills / items / support items feels bad because you need to wait until your animation finishes and the combat doesn't pause.
-Everywhere are random animations in the UI that makes it feel sluggish. Want to craft something? Watch this 5 second animation that does nothing. Want to manage the party? Here are more animations before the menu pop up.
-Game is at best worth 40 bucks, ifyou are a fan. Otherwise just play ryza.
