Absolutely beautiful. I write this review after 70 hours of gameplay and I feel like I barely scratched the surface, I try to explore everything, do all the quests and enjoy every bit of this great game. It took me about 50 hours to finish only Act I and I still didn't do it all, left many things for my inevitable 2nd playthrough where I will make different choices and experience it from a Absolutely beautiful.

This game has so much to offer. It's a "good old" isometric full-on RPG with rich characters, great dialog system, good story, many quests and the freedom to do them in many different ways, great combat system, lovely graphics, nice music, great voice overs, it has it all. I really love this game and I wish more games were like this. I would absolutely recommend this game.



PS: I don't understand why some people complain that this game is "too difficult", it is not. But you can't expect to charge into any sort of combat without any thought or preparation, this is not diablo. Yes in the very beginning it's better to even avoid combat until you scavenge some gear and even then the game can be challenging but certainly not unbeatable - you just can't charge in head on - use the terrain, use tactics, use proper spells/abilities/scrolls/potions/food and if you still can't win come back later when you level up (you can't expect to beat enemies 3 levels higher than you). It's really not that hard once you realize that you're not supposed to kill everything right away, use your brain! Also a lot of combat can even be avoided or made much easier by thinking outside of the box or talking/questing. Again, this is not diablo but a proper RPG. Also later in the game you can get certain abilities that I would perhaps even consider actually a bit OP, especially when you construct your party properly, so no, the game is certainly not "too difficult" if you think about it and prepare yourself correctly. But that's what I consider a good combat system - it's not completely casualized like is the trend today. It is challenging but rewarding and it allows you to think about what you're doing and approach the combat in many different ways. Also I very much like that it's turn-based and not an action click fest or real-time chaos like BG-based RPGs (heresy, I know, but I do not much like the real-time/pause style combat of BG games tbh, I much prefer turn-based combat). … Expand
