Simply amazing
This game was recommended to me multiple times, which is the only reason I ever bought it. Haven't regretted that purchase for a single second. Humour is easily the game's strongest suit, and it does it better than any other game I've ever played. The Bard himself is a real jerk, but a super likeable jerk. He's easily my favourite pre-defined player character who does not have pre-game background. The combat can feel somewhat repetitive, but I find that the Bard's battle taunt comments make up for that. Nothing like killing an enemy and hearing "Am I good or what.". I started off with just a sword and shield style, but later on discovered just how awesome archery is in the game. Highly recommend it, especially as it allows you to hit enemies not even visible on the screen. Just aim towards the red dot(s) or sounds and kill them before they can even attack. Music is another big pro; the various songs that the Bard encounters during his travels are great. Lastly, choices that you make. It's not always clear whether it's better to pick the "comedy" (smiling face) or "tragedy (sad face) option, but whichever you choose is -- from what I've seen -- worth trying at least once. So, more than one playthrough recommended. All in all, an excellent game.
