Well, it *is* a rpg with focus on hack & slash combat - but it also have tons of story and quests thrown into the mix. The game is long and you've just begun so as you say it's a bit early to judge the game. But I guess it boils down to personal opinion... either you like it or you don't. I personally liked it a lot, it was different enough from what else I've been playing to be refreshing.
