To be honest - I did expect a fairly bland cover-shooter. I got an kind of bland shooter with mechanics that just worked and a solid story. This game is better than it looks from the outside. Got a kind of Painkiller feeling in the sense that it was not the most creative kind of game, but i just could not stop playing. You have to be interested in atmosphere, a lot of (optional) text and accept that most of the levels look similar.
That was the first thought i had when i saw this game. But the Trailer convinced me. A Political System? Difficult Decisions? Fights with Airships? A must-have! Now after a few hours of playing, I am double minded. I have Fun playing the Game. I still think the Dragon might be a bit overpowered, but I play on "middle", so there is still more learn. But the Game is not as deep as I thought it would be. And I have a bad Problem with Lag. All 5 Seconds there is one. Perhaps this game is not optimized on a Laptop, but it´s annoying as f*ck when ArmA 3 runs perfectly, but this game lags. I hope there will be patches. I would give 3,5 Stars, but i will suggest they will patch, so i round up to 4. Fazit: It is a really nice game, but don´t expect too much. Then you can have a lot of fun.
As long as i played now, it is very intensive, and much fun to explore the Island. There are so many little Details in this Game, which makes it very special. I just hope the Monster don´t appear too fast. Until now my biggest enemy ist the night. If i am not at the village by night, i don´t know where i go, so when the Sun rises, i have to relocate from the beginning. Nice Game.
