Worth buying? What 300 Steam reviews say.Worth buying? Here’s what 300 Steam reviews actually say.
A legendary, deeply immersive open-world RPG with unmatched lore and freedom, but dated combat, slow movement and no hand-holding. Skip it if you want modern polish or quest markers.
Great for
Patient RPG fans who love lore, exploration and freedom, and don't mind modding
Main risk
Dated RNG combat, slow walking and vague directions can make the first hours frustrating
