Within the first 40 seconds there's a bit of a glitch with one of those big ships, plus in the comments he mentions loot boxes so I don't think it'll be a positive review.
Looks like he got a lot of flak for his previous video of Wolfenstein New Colossus as well, he liked the game overall but called out on what they did with B.J and certain story elements and that doesn't seem to have sat right with some groups of people, not too surprised with how fast people are to anger these days or get riled up over minor things.
EDIT: I guess it's for the video and effect and all that but he doesn't seem to play all too well either, could just be how I see it though. I've only watched a few of these on and off however but the comments and things he brought up were pretty interesting so I don't have any issues with the videos as such, raises some good points for some of these games.
But that bell gets helluva annoying after a while. 
EDIT: Loot boxes gets a few mentions, seems to not be too fond of the side quests and would rather focus on the main mission but the level range and how that works means you wouldn't be able to just go from main mission to main mission since it only takes being a few levels lower and having under-leveled gear for enemies to completely wreck you.
From my own understanding you're supposed to do some of these side missions in-between as they often guide you around the current region you're in and uncover some of the landmarks plus they mix combat and exploration so even higher-level areas have things you can do.
Performance seemed to be good but some sporadic frame drops here and there and some issue with sound and a buzzing noise.
EDIT: Seems he got a bit caught up on side missions being the things like clearing a area but I do agree the game has a bit of grinding and your overall level and equipment level is important and even the low-level zones have a couple of captains a cut above the other enemies you might otherwise encounter.
(Mixing in RPG elements from other popular genres and big games but perhaps not as well as any of those separate games which I think was mentioned already in a previous post here.)
EDIT: He does not seem to be a fan of the ranged or melee combat, it does take a while to adjust to and it feels a bit basic, enemy captains also tend to spam those special move abilities way more frequent than you can do.
There are options though, different weapon types have different strengths and the bows in particular have different uses depending on type. Later on the assassins dagger gets put to good use and various tools.
But yeah you do have to upgrade your accessories for health, damage and the dagger once acquired is also important for stealth killing tougher opponents.
(And of course the quiver and tool bag for ammo which starts at a pitifully low amount.)
There's only six or so crafting components at least but you need a ton of them and the rarer materials are either expensive to buy in bulk or found in very low quantities when you explore so yeah it takes a while to upgrade the later tiers of your equipment.
Also costs a ton of gold to upgrade your weapons (And shield.) so it's best to focus on one melee weapon and one ranged weapon and one shield and stick to upgrading those, best if it's a legendary but these do cost more.
At least later on you have the means to take on tougher opponents and get better rewards, can also break down older or less rare gear for materials although the payout is pretty low but then again new weapons are found almost everywhere.

They might remove the DRM after a while if there was an outcry, but it seems nobody gives a shit.

They say its a bug and intend to fix it.
Ofcourse so they keep it cracked long enough to rake in sales and then 'fix' it with a performance patch.
Why is there not more exposure to this? Makes the whole game a joke yet I don't hear reviewers talk about these tactics.

What's so funny?
Seems retarded to laugh at something like that, when such CPUs are pretty exotic and Ubilol even offers a clear workaround for it.

Is the whole DRM CPU usage drama really based only on a statement from this Voksi guy?

Yes. Nobody knows how much performance, if any, is lost. In the past, cracking or outright removing Denuvo has done little to no performance difference in games. People are assuming it's the protection scheme to blame here, but it might as well just be a horribly coded game.

While that is true, I found out last night that you can attempt to air assassinate higher level captains/commanders than you and even though you are not successful, you do take a chunk of their health off. So run away to break the line of sight, scale a wall, rinse and repeat...
