You can say a great deal of effort was put into this game, and it shows. The amount of passion flows through every corner of this game! First, I must say, the story here is captivating in a way that makes it hard to put the game down. It is meaningful, with a great lore - specially if you've played the predecessor - and offers a fair sense of choice. I have to say that I felt really satisfied with the ending, based on the choices I made throughout the game. Voice acted from start to end, this game truly shines with quality regarding its voice acting! The story is narrated marvelously, and it adds a lot to immersion, which gives the feeling of a true RPG. So, if you're looking for a good story, look no further! Gameplay is phenomenal! I've never been too fond of turn-based RPG, but man, this one is fun! The way in which elements interact and the depth of combat truly makes this game worth playing! It requires planning, strategy, and pacience if you are to succed, even in the classic difficulty. Despite being rather difficult, combat is utterly rewarding, specially when you get the hang of it and begin to crush your foes with proper preparation. BE AWARE: THE GAME IN GENERAL DOES NOT HOLD YOUR HAND! Graphics are okay, and do a good job in provinding a pleasing experience throughout the game. Optimization is fine, despite a few slowdowns in busier sections of the game and larger encounters. Nothing that really takes away from the greatness of the experience. Replayability is strong in this game! Various possibilities open with each choice, including the character creation, and how you conduct the game. Beyond that, online functionality (coop and arena mode) and gamemaster mode add to the package. You'll get hundreds of hours from this game, that's for sure! Botton line is: are you fan of RPGs, great stories, or simply a fan of awesome games in general? If the answer is yes, give this game a go! It's worth the money and every minute spent on it! Have fun!
