The concept of a 3D Sandbox is great and should be honestly used more often but this game shows obvious flaws.
Mostly consisting in its great amount of bugs which can softlock you and because of that require constant manual saving to be sure to not lose progress.
Another issue is the subtitles/text, standing close to the target youre talking to makes the floating text hard to read. I sometimes defaulted to looking away on purpose to get proper normal subtitles...
As for the Sandbox, not really much to do and the dates feel like a chore as to unlock new topics to talk about you need to get them drunk which has to be mostly done through "playing a game" which is limited to only rock paper scissors which takes forever if you're unlucky.
In the "open world" you cant do anything either, its basically a walking simulator where you just walk to the person you have a quest with but you cannot walk up a random person and just talk to them or do activities which aren't related to a quest making the claim of a "Intractable live world" feel very distant to reality.
