I got hooked and spend a lot of hours exploring the world and grinding for items, vocations and all.
They got the open world mechanics right and I hope Elden Ringe copies some of them.

The combat it is kind of meh, it rewards skill but there are situations where you don't have the chance to do anything.
I think the worst part of the game are those situations where it resorts to aritificial difficulty, like having to fight 2 wyverns and lots of those taurus guys, or that some attacks can one shot you. Also the attacks that one shot your pawns in an area suck.

In short, the game is unbalanced, has lot of poor quality choices, the story and characters are terrible, but also it can be very fun at its core.
