I've not bought the game but I was happy to see Microsoft take a win with a (timed) exclusive for once. I became disillusioned with the brand in the 2010's and jumped ship to PC and Nintendo not long before the Series X came out. So far, I've heard nothing but positives about this game which is a welcome change after the divisive Starfield and catastrophically awful Redfall.
Overall, it's a good package. Not game of the year material, but still a good time.
But one thing I've started doing is looking at the price relative to the game? At $120 AUD, I'm expecting a lot from a title. It's retailing at the peak of its market. Perhaps why I'm a little harsher here.

I absolutely get that and understand holding it up to that level of scrutiny, couldn't agree more.
