The type of game that when you recommend it, you have to clarify they need to play a few hours before they’ll understand.
To me, many JRPGs have this problem. Xenoblade, Final Fantasy (14 especially), Tales, Kiseki, etc all take forever to get interesting.
I like Taris a hell of a lot more than Peragus. At least there’s quests and such on Taris, a bit of variety.
Oh yeah total agreement. The other planets are a bit slow, but Peragus is an actual slog.
