All in all, its a fantastic experience all around. There is no fast travel in this game (though there is the equivalent of a town portal spell), but that is in line with the theory that this game is going for: a completely organic experience, that very much makes you believe that you are living in the world of Gransys and that every journey you take requires careful planning and preparation.
There is a robust item system, where you can combine almost anything you pick up with some other item and create something else, and every single weapon or piece of armor can be upgrade with the right materials and coin. This is the way the game is all the time. You constantly hear roars, screams, and growls in the distance and you know that there are monsters just waiting to pounce on you. It's pitch black and your lantern only lets you see about 10 feet in front of you. When in your traversing the world at night, it actually feels like wandering in the wilderness at night. This is just the natural style of combat in the game.
But unlike most games, this is not a canned experience or QTE.
What I mean by that, is that there are these incredible water cooler-like moments like climbing on a Hydras neck and cutting it open to free your companion that it just swallowed. Yes, it is an gorgeous game in terms of scenery and landscape, and it has a massive open world, but what sets it apart from other RPGs of its incredible ability to make everything you do feel like an absolutely organic (in-game) experience. Honestly, this game truly breaks new ground and I'm not being facetious.
