I totally agree. A wonderful review. And after playing for 16 hours, the combat is leagues better than the demos. It feels and looks incredible and is definitely a highlight in my opinion as well.

I’m about 16 hours in and I just finished Chapter 3 of 14. I’m casually playing, exploring the world, and doing side quests. There is no reason to rush as this feels like the natural way to play the game. (imo of course).
