nothing wrong with not liking the game. it is a very specific kind of flavor and it wont appeal to everyone, but not liking a design doesnt mean its bad. most everything in the game is deliberate and appeals to a certain type of gamer. its sense of exploration (which imo is superb) very obviously doesnt mean what it means to you.

its not about going off to that distant landscape or most likely unlocking the next icon on a map. the entire appeal is figuring out how the world and areas work while overcoming the challenges the game puts infront of the player. this is helped by the art, enemy designs, music and overall atmosphere. the world design of the game in general comes off as deceptively linear than it really is. no, its not a traditional open world where you can go anywhere at any point, but the whole thing is designed to where it does feel like its own interconnected thought out world. this is also a long game, based on how long its taking you so far, maybe even an 80+ hour one. its not going to show its hand to you where you are now.

imo id atleast get to the first REAL boss and unlock your first shortcut which at that point more options and areas start to open up and you can actually get a grasp on what the game is selling.
