Getting from point A to point B initially takes forever and feels like unnecessary padding. Fortunately there's fast-travel to specific points from the get-go, and also sea currents that speed you up between specific places. Unfortunately it doesn't end with that...

I was initially willing to give this a pass as it seemed to replace the tower defense segments that a lot of people were utterly sick and tired of after 2 other games had it (heck, I reckon plenty were tired of it after 1 game). The problem is... it's not replacing that.
