I can't speak to the story as, again, I've not gotten that far into it... but what I have encountered (with kingsglaive and Brotherhood included) I've enjoyed. ya gotta hold square the whole time.
Combat... is fun... but the block/parry/counter system is buggy at best. Perhaps my skill level is just shit, but I'm pressing square at different times for the same attack and still either getting smacked or rolling/dodging.
There are certain things the game didn't explain, or if it did, I missed it.... such as stamina refresh. Thankfully, because I'm a nerdy collector, I bought the guide... and the guide explained the stamina refreshing technique.
Driving the car (thus far) has been a little underwhelming. I didn't expect to do jumps off of landscape or anything crazy like that, but I had hoped for a little more freedom than a rail driver.Â
Delving into all of the side quests and nooks and crannies is quite enjoyable for me... and is the obvious reason as to my being 10+ hours in and not even out of chapter 1 yet.
A weird quirk to me is the respawning of "treasures" out and about in the world. Cooking items I get... they regrow... but that greatsword I picked up "respawned" an hour or so later and I was able to pick it up again. I mean... yay, now I have two of the same sword to use for Noct and Gladdy, but... dunno, just feels weird to me.
