bit of an update as I have progressed now a bit on the story.
So far I have found the actual story elements of the game seem quite short, not much needs doing to progress, this depending on what you want from a game can be a good or bad thing.
Once you are passed a certain point in the story, then certain enemies appear frequently when exploring, I knew it was coming as I read complaints from others on gamefaqs, you can run from the fights tho which I am probably going to do as not only do they appear a lot but the enemy count in each battle seems to increase after you defeat each group.
Now after playing on my PC monitor, I am getting into battles much better than on the TV and am getting to grips with the battle system.
The good ol PS4 is struggling now with framedrops, not gamebreaking tho like the last guardian.
Since installing the hybrid drive the loading times seem noticeably faster, this conflicts with benchmarks some people have ran but my own personal experience suggests a hybrid drive is worth it (or pure ssd I guess).
