34, Fellow Rebirthbro here, I spent literally 4 months of this year pretty much just playing Rebirth, clocked in a little over 160 hours. Did every single map marker, damn near everything in the game. There's a little bit more to do if I wanted to actually 100% it but I am satisfied. It's probably the most fun I've ever had in my life playing an open world game. Was playing with mods on PC to make the game run drastically better using DLSS and Engine optimizations.
Do not be fooled by /v/, there's a huge number of people in their mid 30s and 40s who consider Rebirth one of the greatest games they ever played in their life. Pretty much entirely people who played the OG as kids and never stopped loving it.
I would say it was an incredible experience, but the pacing of the last two chapters got really strange and unfortunately muddied what was otherwise one of the best gaming experiences of my life. I am very unsure of how it will be possible to make a better game than Rebirth for the 3rd game.
After finishing Rebirth I grabbed a Switch 2 and have been playing through a bunch of the improved Switch 1 games while waiting for Bananza to drop.
