What players say
86% of 35,940 reviews are positive · 59% of 385 in the last 30 days
Players most often praise the tactical combat, open-world exploration, and mercenary management. The dominant complaint is the current DLC model: players say expansions are expensive, underdeveloped, and advertised through inaccessible in-world locations. Recent reviews also report persistent bugs, crashes, and progression-blocking balance changes.
