I don't think XV is that bad, but it's clearly unfinished even though it was in development for a decade. It's obvious when you go to that Venice-inspired city that has almost nothing to do in it, and the end of the game runs out of steam hard: one of the chapters is just a turret section. They also tried to sell extra chapters as DLC and tried to pivot to a separate multiplayer co-op mode, just lol, didn't care about any of that.
The story in general is just a big bunch of nothing, especially if you haven't watched that animated movie. I did enjoy just cruising around with my bros and the relatively open world, while clearly ripping off Xenoblade Chronicles, was fun.
CrystalTools at it again baybee, love to dump millions into an engine that barely works!
