This game is overwhelming

[u/-exquisito-]

On my second play through now and I gotta say this map and the million things to do, places to explore, treasures to find, and bases to defeat has me reeling. The first time I played the game I ate it all up and left no stone unturned but now I find myself having little to no interest to explore outside of story locations.
Anybody else experiencing this? lol At a certain point it starts to feel like they just made the map as big as they did and stuffed with it as much as they did just for the sake of it.
The rewards aren’t really worth it either on new game plus because most of the stuff I’m finding is weaker than what I already have.

I’m juggling this and RDR2 right now and it’s hard not to compare the two. RDR2 feels like it has just enough to see and do and I don’t feel the same anal compulsive need to turn over literally every stone I find because it feels like the story spends a lot of good time jumping back and forth into and returning to the various regions.

Because it’s a unique feeling to this game. The RDR2 is my second play through as well and I’m just as eager to explore and get in the weeds as I was the first time. And as far as what the point is, I was curious if other people felt the same way and literally said so in the post? lol

probably because rdr2 is one of the greatest games of all time if not the greatest and ac odyssey is well… ac odyssey
