I tried it a bit when it came out out out of curiosity and the first few hours I found the combat quite fun. Although I admit that, in the few hours I played, at no time did the plot interest me enough to pay attention to it. Maybe that's why I preferred not to play it.
Interestingly I've read more than one person who has played through this game with some podcast in the background because they say they like to explore the world it has and fight, but don't care about the plot 😅.
