Here's your next gen game bro enjoy.

First I'll mention that the game has been linear, especially the first area, but upon entering the second (shown in pic) the game drastically expands in scale. There are still several secrets in that beginning area that I have yet to explore and can't open yet. If this is what's to expect for the entire game from now with the world expanding this way, I'll be happy. Especially if they can walk that fine line between open world and linear. Something like the original dragon's dogma if that makes sense. Not too overwhelming in it's quests/places to go but still finding new paths to go down in a natural progression.
