Not a terrible game (I've played far worse), just a very, very mediocre one considering all I had been told about it before I actually started it.
To be clear, I'm just about to start Route B. Currently closing on to 25hrs of playtime. I'm being very thorough, and I do intent to play through Route C. But so far, I can't say I've been impressed by much of anything this game has offered to me. The only thing I really like about it so far is the soundtrack. Seriously great stuff there. But there's nothing else that's managed to grab me. Gameplay is nothing special. Graphics already feel dated. Dialogue and characters are just meh. Most side quests I've played take me straight back to DA: Inquisition; they're little more than fetch quests that I'm not sure the game would have lost anything without.
I also don't get why the game has so many 'troll' endings? That was funny the first couple times but unless I'm missing the point, it doesn't seem to add anything of value to the experience.
Again, the music and some of the main story stuff has been great so far, but literally everything else is just straight-up average. I'm trying to crawl through it to Route C, but it's only because I genuinely want to give it a chance rather than drop it. (I'm also playing it fully in Japanese and taking that as a chance to supplement my studying of the language, which I've been doing for a while.)
