I'm about 60 hours into Veilguard, probably about halfway through Act 2. I haven't read any of the criticisms, negative reviews, etc. but I have seen that they're out there -- I honestly don't care, I'm loving this game a lot. I've said it here before, I do have some complaints, but the lore development and progression of the plot so far is so satisfying. and I adore Rook as a protagonist too.
there's a couple of new/upcoming games I've got my eye on too, mainly Farming Sim 25 👩🌾. never would've imagined being excited for a Farming Sim game but I got into FS22 after seeing some of my usual streamers playing it on Twitch and honestly it's such a relaxing game. it's been like a winter/Christmas tradition for me to lose hours to FS22 for the last couple of years so I'll be picking up FS25 pretty much as soon as I'm done with Veilguard.
I'm also itching to play Manor Lords but haven't bit the bullet on early access yet because it seems like development is going pretty slowly. I've watched a few playthrough videos/series on Youtube and I know it'll scratch my city building/resource management itch, but will wait until it gets a little further into development and for a sale because $50 CAD for early access is a little crazy imo.
finally Planet Coaster 2 is one I've been keeping an eye on, because I was/am obsessed with Planet Zoo (I've got almost 500 hours in it 😶). seems like its release has been pretty rocky though so I'm giving it a while for the devs to work out the kinks before I try it out.
I have Manor Lords and it's absolutely delightful, but play is definitely limited by development progress. Do recommend but waiting is valid given it's current state.
I’m loving Veilguard as a whole but definitely see things that could be better. But I’m also not letting that detract from what I love. I do see some things that I can tell will bother others but for me isn’t a big deal. I never expected this game to be perfect and the flaws I find in it aren’t deal breakers. Granted I need to finish it to know for sure.
yeah that's pretty much where I'm at as well. there are for sure things I would change but I haven't really come across anything yet that's killed my enjoyment overall. I can imagine what some of the criticisms are too, some that are probably founded and that I'd agree with, and some that I wouldn't be surprised if they're a bit contrived, particularly by the games media/commentators that tend to go harsher on DA and Bioware in general, especially after Anthem and Andromeda (but imo Veilguard is an improvement from ME:A). what I wanted was a primarily character-focused, lore-driven story and that's largely what it's shaping up to be so far for me.
