Gameplay wise best game out there. I love the pawn system just like the first one and how they learn and get better at everything in game. Such as area searching, finding monster weakness and acting better in combat over time. Make it feel like they have personality. Great combat. I'll be playing this for a while.

The microstransactions do nothing to effect the overall experience. Other than the tent is lighter than others. So why they are even there not sure, pointless. So can't really say it's a negative if you don't need them.
