A very good game with clear linear levels and fight arenas, but beautiful level design and music. Though some mechanics might feel a bit clunky, since they are not as masterfully crafted as in other games, like Nier Automata or Horizon, it does a solid job in mixing exploration, fighting and simple climbing and jumping quests.
And you really should go explore the surroundings of every area, there are many little readables. Also you might miss out on some upgrade material, if you rush through the levels.
Visually it doesn't reinvent the wheel, there is no ray-tracing, so older machines will get decent enough FPS. I got between 60 and 90FPS most times (3860x1600, all Ultra, no Upscaling), with really bad scenes being in the 40ies, mostly the transitioning from a corrupted arena to a cleared world. That said, I think the world is beautiful, colourful sunsets, varying from farmland to mountainious areas through a swamp and a very intriguing dreamworld with lots of jazz playing from clubs you can hear on the street. The world is very atmospheric!
What really drives the game forward, are the tragic characters: Nearly everyone has experienced or did something bad or even gruesome in their past, losing a sibling by an accident and being blamed for it, trying to do the right thing out of despair but failing miserably or destroying someones life out of anger. Every incident corrupted the weaving of the world and we, as Hazel, the new weaver, must correct the wrongdoing. And no, even our protagonist isn't clear of making a grave mistake.
There has been one or two crashes, but these may come from the interpretion by Proton, since I'm playing on LInux. Aside from that I was stuck at a place in the swamps, while exploring the ship, where I couldn't get out without reloading from the last savepoint. But all in all it was very bug-free and a stable experience.
You maybe want to disable the stop-motion look in the settings menu. It looks okay-ish in story sequences, but annoying when playing.
