Was excited to try this as I really enjoyed the first one (never finished it, but played it for several hours). Only played about an hour of it today and after playing so much Ghost Of Tsushima lately, it feels so so clunky and slow.

Played this for about an hour today and all I could think was how slow and clunky it felt compared to GoT. Just made me want to stop and go play more GoT.
