Finished this a week ago and have spent a couple of hours every night since going through and mopping up collectibles and side quests.
Just a sublime experience! The story is a bit basic on the surface but if you take the time to pay attention it really sucks you in and gets quite deep.
Just had an hour with this after work and it's starting to show its qualities ... I can feel myself really getting into it
Also, I changed the Pro screen option from 'resolution' to 'performance' which has improved things in a number of ways: combat feels more fluid, the camera is easier on the eye, and the fan is a bit quieter on the system (if it was at 11, it's now more like a 7). You won't see your new 4K tv doing its finest turn, but the advantages outweigh this imo.
I did their and it does indeed make the Pro faaaaaaaaar quieter.
My issue with performance mode is that the framers is uncapped so goes up and down and I find that really jarring. I prefer a solid 30fps.
I had the fight with the skinny man at my house and got a bit of rage with the controls.
It says in the instructions that R3 locks on to enemies, but it didn't work.
They guy's zapping around the place and I couldn't see him.
I found a quick turn option, but what's the score with R3?
A big problem with this is the amount of time I have to spend in the menus ... abilities, gem slots, upgrades to this, that and the other ... I'm fine with all that gear in some games but with this I just want to get cracking with the knacking. The gameplay itself is really fun.
The combat flummoxed me a little at the start but once you "get it" which is helped no end by it being easier it's a joy to hit something, throw the axe, freeze enemy, rush in, punch them in face, roll away, hit something else, recall axe through another enemy.
