I finished the main story last night and I basically agree with you. It’s got plenty of issues, but overall it’s fun. It is neither the 9/10 game of most reviews I saw nor the 4/10 game that people want it to be.
I think my main issue is that it wants to have a story about the underworld and how you can’t trust anyone and you’re a huge underdog just trying to survive but it doesn’t want to commit to it. It feels thematically janky in places and ways that feel design-by-committee. It fills the shoes of Shadows of the Empire decently enough, but it feels like it was trying to be 1313 and failed.
Sometimes if I’m feeling classy I’ll grind the rest and set them aside to make cold brew with later. That’s more forgiving so I do it to use up old, stale beans that I end up with for whatever reasons.
Most of the time I don’t care and I just top off the weight with whatever I’m using next and drink whatever comes out. It’s usually fine, and when it’s not it’s at least novel.
