What players say

Still a great game after all this time. The only issue I have is that every single time I add or remove any mods through Vortex and redeploy them it somehow jacks up my DLCs and I have to delete my DLC files reverify the files and auto redownload all over again. After the third time it become irritating. Other than that, it's a great game.

I first played this game on PS4 in 2020. I was immediately hooked by the lore. I couldn't stop replaying the main story campaign and the DLCs. All told, I've sunk over 500 hours into the game, and to this day, I still discover things I've never seen before. I'm eagerly awaiting the remaster and the new DLC; this game still puts a smile on my face :)
