The game has many good aspects, and a lot of improvements in some regards over other Bethesda titles. Still, it also has many tedious aspects, including resource management on a weight limit that's almost a joke (Ships should've had infinite weight limit or at least a few thousand points).
When I got to trying to build the first outpost and saw how tedious that is, and the fact that I gotta farm a ton of materials myself to build even one half decent outpost, I unfortunately had to put the game away.
@hardwenzen: Not that I condone the grind in games like Diablo 4 (even though there's many others that do it too), BG3 and Diablo 4 are different subgenres. One is a party based, story-driven deep RPG with a definite end, the other is a loot-hoarding actioner with RPG elements.
If I was entirely paranoid, I'd say they gave this a 2/10 purely to increase traffic on the this article. While the show is not perfect by any margin, on what planet in the Milky Way galaxy is it deserving of a 2? lol. A 2 means something almost as bad as pressing the play button and all you get is a blank screen. This was not that and anyone with a molecule of objectivity should be able to see that.
This is a show obviously catering towards people who watched the Rebels animation, which I did and liked. But there's plenty of good stuff here to go with the complaints.
The visuals are very well done. The locations are diverse and interesting and Lothal look as good as we could've hoped, in my opinion. I'll be the first to admit Rosario has the resting b**ch face throughout most of the 2 episodes, but maybe she was told to play it detached. The fights in the first episode weren't very good but we got a much better fight in episode 2. We can only hope it continues to improve in the next episodes. The story and motivation of the villains (besides Thrawn related stuff) was genuinely intriguing in my opinion.
Last and foremost, I enjoyed these two episode more than 90% of Obi Wan and 100% of Boba Fett, and not just because I was familiar with the characters from the animation. None of the episodes from those shows was graced with a 2/10 though, which shows there's little objectivity to be had in these reviews.
