    Eternal Strands. I’m loving it! I almost quit playing a few times in the first couple of hours but once you get into the loop of it and learn some more skills and combat techniques, things get amazing.

    It has that same sense of wonder and exploration that I got from BOTW, even though it’s broken up into zones instead of one open world. It also takes a lot of great parts from Dragon’s Dogma, Shadow of the Colossus, and Monster Hunter, while still very much being its own thing. Plus, the loot is not overwhelming and feels meaningful, and you can re-spec all gear without penalty.

    It’s all really streamlined to maximize fun.

        It runs great. I haven’t checked FPS but it runs smoothly and I’ve never noticed any stuttering. I’m also super impressed with the draw distance. The ground sometimes has some graininess to it but it doesn’t bother me.
