I feel like this game could be boring for some people that want more of a sense of direction, but for people like me who are cool with endless exploration as long as the terrain feels nice and varied, I think it holds countless hours of play as long as there is a feeling of progression.
It really is sad to see how frequently stuff like this is happening now, but at the same time the media definitely shoves it down our throats to promote fear, above all else, which is just as horrible if you ask me.
