Completed the game. All I can say is “wow”. The story from start to finish is really amazing, and the devs even congratulate you for completing their game and hope you liked it as much as they liked developing it.
Last time I’ve seen a game where there’s a message of the devs saying grats, was an old game called Donkey Kong Country(not the second one, the first). I played the shit out of that old SNES game when I was younger.
Anyway, there is freeplay after the main questline, yet is questionable, since you and your friends finally leave the island at the end(this isn’t spoilers, most games have happy endings). So, how do you get back on the island to do everything else? Things like multiplayer, achievement hunting, and exploring optional tombs you haven’t yet when doing the questline.
Going back to the story. There were two parts where the game felt like it was going to stop early, yet you know at the back of your head; “no one escapes”. The story felt pretty long, yet not as long as the Tomb Raider series’ games.
The game has a fast travel system, but only accessible through Base Camps and using the campfire there. Do like this. It makes you have to work for it. Though I never used the system until I hit the PoNR(Point of No Return) part.
Though it makes me question, if the island can be completely accessed without cutscenes and level loads.
And that’s about it for this game. I really liked it, and it had a satisfying ending. It was very tough without a trainer (on Easy), yet doable. I tend to freak out when dealing with multiple enemies and destructible cover at the same time.
