'lots of niggles' pretty much defines the game, really. The overall package is fun, and if you enjoy open-world exploration, then it is pretty fantastic, but there are plenty of small niggles that hamper my enjoyment. There's more than a few bugs which aren't game-breaking but pretty annoying all the same.

I'm not even finished yet, but I like the story. The combat is also fun, even if I wish I had more than just three abilities. Mid-combat switching of favourites just isn't feasible most of the time.
