RECOMMENDED BUY AT A DISCOUNT

TLDR: Buy it at a later date. Fun gameplay and decent enough story. There's still bugs and performance issues that require you to reload or restart the game to get it stable again. Best part of the open world is not that many loading screens except for the main fortresses.

POSITIVE:
Fun gameplay is the main positive, loot and shoot is satisfying. Gunplay is the best because of the different licensing parts, which makes guns lower than legendary rarity better than what they would otherwise be and could be used in place of legendaries. There's a lot of mixing and matching available, which keeps the gunplay fresh. The story starts off good but kind of tapers off in the late game. The characters range from good to not too annoying and the side quests range from fun to tedious. Overall, still an enjoyable gameplay and story experience.

NEGATIVE:
Performance issues. Should be better optimization for the sort of graphics it has. When your fps tanks and you stutter, the fix is to go back to the main menu, reload back in or start the game back again to get it back to stable again.

Bugs (the ones I have experienced) - Lost loot not functioning as it should? lowest rarities fill up the spots instead of the highest rarity loot that drops. Have had a few sidequest bug out with their objectives (such as clear out the enemies when there are no enemies left), requiring me to reload the game to do it again to progress.

Open world was a different step but feels lackluster especially since the map options are awful. Switch it in the options from compass to radar to make it serviceable. ECHO pings map route for you to go to for a while but then has a cooldown that makes you wait before you can see where you need to again. Lot of locations pad out time because of the map routing going through mountains or objects that you clearly cannot traverse and has a single way of entry through grappling hooks. Speaking of grappling hooks, it's a bit of an afterthought because there isn't too much you can do with them in combat, unless those spots are designated to be grappling hook areas. Considering how large the map is, they need some better map options. Also, invisible walls will impede you. Can't climb it like in skyrim to get to your locations even if it looks traversable.

UI & inventory is a bit of a mess. Sorting items could do with a rework like remembering your preferred options to make it better. In addition, simplified descriptions of class mod enhancements just list skill names instead of what you are actually getting out of it. Meaning that it requires you to check between tabs on what skills are being improved.

Loot and creating new characters: Another quip is the lack of class mod enhancements for your own character. Anecdotal experience but I obtained more legendary rarities for other characters than my own. Apparently, this is a feature so it means that particular character loot has to roll a 25% chance to actually be usable for your character. In addition, creating new characters after reaching Ultimate Vault Hunter Level One skips the early game up to lvl 30 however you still need to rediscover the map, with the fast travel points as well as other collectibles to upgrade your max ammo, bank space etc. (As you might imagine, that can get tedious)

In conclusion, flawed game that has fun gunplay that keeps me playing. I placed it at not recommended because of the issues above. Consider waiting until a discount and hopefully those issues get ironed out.

Will take a while to finish the other endings so I'm writing this based on my first playthrough because I wanted to recommend it. It's a solid story that you can go through once but will ultimately benefit from achieving the other endings to get the bigger picture and unravel the mysteries. This is primarily a story game, the tactics gameplay will be secondary if that is your consideration.

Story:
Excellent mystery throughout, keeping you from achieving the bigger picture but you can still piece together bits of information to figure out what is going on or what is likely to happen. There are no investigation activities or debate minigames like in Danganronpa but piecing together the events and how it relates is a big part of enjoying the story.

Combat:
Fairly good. It encourages a high risk playstyle where you get your characters killed for additional style points (nice kills). This gains you a higher net of BP alongside killing enemies which can then be used to upgrade a characters abilities. This means that it is relatively quick. I could see it getting more tedious or repetitive as you'll likely have to play certain battles again whilst going through the other endings.

Characters:
The initial impressions you will have upon meeting the characters will be less than stellar and you'll probably even roll your eyes as they seem to be caricatures or exaggerated tropes. However, due to the nature of the game, there is more time to explore their story, background and they undergo character arcs that transform them beyond this. They also bounce off well with the other character cast which keeps the dialogue refreshing. Only exception to the rule is 1 character that is probably the vehicle of jokes. Character moments are mostly confined to the story although you might get tidbits if you spend your free time with them. I will reserve some judgement because I have not gone through the other endings, which can explore more of the characters further.

Voice acting and soundtrack:
Based on JP va, it's really good. Soundtrack is really solid too.

Incredibly fun game. Good narrative and likeable characters.

Only wish for more memorable dungeons.

Pretty enjoyable game. Though, it get's pretty easy after you figure it out, with the succession laws being the typical pain in the ass. If you're worried about getting bored, you can just head on over to get some customization and total conversion mods which is what made the majority of my hours in CK2. The modding support should keep this game fresh.

The native single player experience of this game is lacking in a few areas such as more options when it comes to negotiations and diplomacy, so it can get rather bland after a while but with added mods, you'll be able to spend plenty of hours with extravagant armors, more customization options, different troops and level troop trees and different world maps as well as battlefield maps. Added on to this would be a variety of new quests and many other unique features in mods such as Prophesy of Pendor. The graphics are one of its downsides but it is a small problem that is easily outweighed by the good parts of Warband being its very unique and excellent approach to creating the RPG setting for the game.

I have only played a single game on multiplayer and I did not end up coming back because I did not enjoy it all too much, it's still worth trying out. However the dlc, Napoleonic Wars is an alternative to the multiplayer option and I believe it still has a good amount of people playing it.

So, I very much recommend anyone interested to pick this game up. The pricetag is justified but there are many sales in which you can pick it up for so just wait around for that.
