Supporting coverage explains the mix of praise and critique: outlets like GameSpot gave it high marks (8/10) for reining in the franchise’s excesses and sharpening core systems, while technical write-ups (PC Gamer) highlight solid PC performance and visuals with a few platform caveats. At the same time some critics and community voices call out pacing or world-design shortcomings and a few rough edges that feel like they could be filled by future updates or DLC. The game’s popularity (big player engagement in the weeks after launch) underlines that most players found it fun even when they flagged specific flaws.
