I didn’t learn much from GmanLives review tbh. It’s obvious he hates this kind of experience and had to push through because he has to put out a review in time for embargo lifting.
I learned this is the same kind of dumbed down New Vegas experience as Outer worlds was. Ok writing but nothing groundbreaking, streamlined RPG elements and serviceable combat. It was quite useful because I was waiting specifically for Avowed but given how sub par it is, I’m investing my time and money in KCD2.
