    Resent the incorrect version. I spent over two hours in-store at Dayton Mall BestBuy before being directed 12 miles to the nearest BestBuy in Fairborn. They sent out the WRONG version again (XBox One not XBox Series X as you have even attached to this review request. Come on, get it together & send the XBox Series X version!!!

    It is very seldom I stop playing a game before finishing it. This game started out very interesting but quickly became monotonous.
