Wasn’t planning on buying this but got a copy free with a new CPU so am now looking into it a little more!
I actually really enjoyed Mirage, didn’t bother with Valhalla but did enjoy Odyssey up until it started to really take the **** with ‘travel to this new location 30 actual minutes away with no new fast travel locations near, say hi to one NPC then travel another 20 minutes to another new location with no fast travel location to throw a bird at some children’.
Hoping that at least Shadows is less mindless map chasing, Mirage felt fun to me because it was a ‘smaller’ game and I could explore because I wanted to, not because the game was making me.
