I have my own gripes with the story, I really wanted to like this game but it was definitely not for me. Even the amazing writers they hired to consult on the script weren't happy with what was released and they were asked to contribute solely for their name.
I heavily dislike the game's director Hajime Tabata, I considered him a hack and when he was given a whole new studio and wasted (was it a billion dollars) on his studio only to make this mid-game, well... I'm sad he got that far and people learned the hard way.
If the game was $5 I'd say it's worth it to try and test your tolerance and patience. I usually say there's a good game in there somewhere, but for this game it needed to be taken back to the inception stage.
This is a single player long story fantasy isekai game. If your grandson ever shown interest in Final Fantasy, Elder Scrolls: Skyrim, Baldur's Gate or even TV shows like Game of Thrones or anything DnD related, maybe he will be interested to try this game.
But he sounds like someone who'd probably prefer to play Grand Theft Auto 6 when that releases in November.
