I'm playing it for the first time at the moment as well! But on ps4.
It took me a little bit to get used to the slow pace in parts - almost closer to a sim. I'd just finished Horizon: FW, so the speed of movement was a big change. Now I enjoy the extra time to smoke weed and head-cannon my character.
The writing and plotting are the real treasure of the game so far. I've enjoyed the scenery and the views well enough, but I rarely find myself impressed by graphics.
