It's a maximalist game. This is proper Action RPG. You can even ignore main quests or objectives and just build a professional life and build your home etc and live in the world. Make friends with AI NPCs by chatting using in game messenger. Western Devs are shook. If this level of game is available for free with no pay to win mechanics, why will anyone buy full priced AAA games anymore. On PC it runs flawlessly on GPUs released in 2019. On PS5 it needs optimisation and devs are working on it. Still it's very much playable and enjoyable.

Wait what? Why is building part of the game? What exactly is this game?

One thing mentioned here is AI NPCs. You can literally chat with them like a person and change their opinion. I never expected it to happen in game This game has jumped into my top 5 action RPG games of all time list.

Reached mountaintop of the giants, at level 120, I think some 107 hours in. Right now completing that dragonbarrow region to complete the caelid tower. The difficulty spikes are all over, some field bosses are extremely tough while some main bosses like morgott was a pushover. Need like 90k times to level up now 😂
