Are you sure? I’ve seen generally favorable responses to the game from critics and players alike. Literally the only criticisms I’ve seen levied against the game so far are that it’s woke.

I've seen a few valid criticisms, which I get. It's hard to make a choice-driven narrative in the post-BG3 market and not get held to a higher standard. "Written by committee" is one such descriptor I've heard.

For me, as a fan of Dragon Age: Origins, I also can't say I prefer the dip into the actiony, grindy sort of combat mechanics the game appears to have now.
