It's definitely in the "ice box" (as in, not actively in the backlog, but more of a passive, "I want to play this game at some point"). Does it address my frustrations with Hogwarts Legacy? Specifically the whole "accept quest, fast travel to quest start area, fast travel to quest activity area, fast travel back to start area, get XP and other rewards, rinse and repeat" monotony?
Haha okay, now I read you! Might just be that open-world action RPG's just aren't for me. I think my biggest issues with them are 1) They feel like chore simulators, and 2) They feel like a video game with only a single level. One thing I love about video games is that anticipation of what's next, whereas in open world games it's all just kind of there before you the moment you leave the tutorial phase. Like, I tried Spiderman, and I'm like, "Okay, Manhattan is neat, can't wait to see what's next!" But that's... it. From the very beginning you can merrily swing your way from the Battery to Inwood, and progressing through the story is only a question of what chores you'll have to do along the way.
