I played this at a friend's place on the weekend on a very strong PC. I got so bored, so quickly.
It's the most generic third person shooter. Grey colour palette, unimpressive graphics.
I've no reason to want more. It kinda sucked.
I can understand your sentiment in general, but the “grey color palette”, isn’t accurate. There are so many biomes in this game that you probably just caught one specific which heavily leaned towards grey. But I have played in lush forests and some of the currently trending viking-elf-aesthetics, which have definitely not been grey.
The game is really boring and grindy, though. I bought it on a whim, expecting Dark Souls with guns, like the marketing suggested. But it’s more like Gears of War meets Diablo or Destiny. This is a really bland third person shooter, with some interesting enemies and bosses but so much loot-based grind and so many resources to trade with different vendors. While the story is really one dimensional and tired.
I wouldn’t recommend this game if you are looking for a souls like as the marketing suggests, but only if Destiny-but-Gears-instead-of-Halo is your thing and you have a complete party of friends ready to join. Then this game has its moments.
I find it hard to believe that it isn't a playstation exclusive, because this type of stuff seems to be Sony's specialty. They just love a generic third person shooter come RPG, and that's all this game is to me. Why would I want to play the same damn game again unless there's serious enjoyment in the combat mechanics...which there isn't.
