My "Aasha" of playing it on PS ended 😄

So I have been playing for 12 hours now and it’s not that great tbh. Looks like the devs took everything great with got(prequel) and just butchered the amazing side quests (tales) that game has and replaced it with useless 2 mins side quests. The world is sparse with hardly any settlements, the story is literally one liner (so far) and the sane old liberate outposts activities. Also the random encounters for some reason seem dialled up which gets tedious after a while. I’ve unlocked three weapons so far. Honestly the combat is the only good thing about this game. Gfx is good but when you literally have no base towns/villages/cities/lot of ppl /buildings etc and just vast grasslands and flowers, I don’t really see that’s an achievement in itself. Background music is great and kinda like a stress buster at times. But overall, this has been disappointing so far. I think I’ll shift focus to main quests and see if it improves. So far, this looks like something I should’ve played in a sub, not something I had to buy !

The first three seasons are pretty good but the fourth one is a dragster. No answers until now, just going round and round. People are so frustrated with the story; it's going nowhere. There are many memes also on social media.

Participants so far: Ambar (Big Boss) Nikhil (Schneider) Pradeep (rad2689) Bharat Vyom Sanwal Azaan Teki Gokul
