+ THE GOOD
- Combat is responsive and satisfying — magic and melee both feel good
- Gorgeous environments with excellent lighting
- Day-one on Game Pass — zero extra cost to try
− THE BAD
- Writing rarely reaches Obsidian's best work
- World feels static and underpopulated compared to similar RPGs
- Companions lack the depth of Baldur's Gate 3 or Fallout: New Vegas
