Action RPG with great combat.

Fun combat with different character builds so it has great replayability. You can hire other players' created NPCs as "pawns" to help you in combat. Used to do that and trade items with a great community on PS3. Good times.

Can't recommend this train wreck.

As the title says. This game should've never been ported to PC........ or at least in the poor state that it's in. Though the game is good as I played it on console, the PC port sucks. As any gamer knows a game can be very good but if the controls suck then sadly the rest of the game suffers for it and this game is no exception and so that's why I can't/wont recommend this game on PC. If you have a console then I would suggest you buy it on there and forget about this PC ported train wreck.

TLDR... or played.

Another boring grind of gathering flowers, clunky console interface and most likely a game worth playing if you are so inclined to give it enough and proper time. I don't feel smitten by the game and while there are things that are fun and good, the boredom and lack of information and the micoromanagement via a sub-par interface just don't cut it for me. Too many other titles that are far superior enough to make this something of a true last game I need to finish right now.
