Unique engaging story that intrigues you from the start and builds to a satisfying climax. I found myself genuinely interested to see how it all unfolds - a feeling I've not had in a while in games, where the stories are more simplistic and predictable. The writing in general is top notch. Memorable characters with interesting dialogue and great artwork! Obviously the graphics are not the highlight of this game, however, the writing and artwork make the characters and story more memorable than many so called AAA titles out there with the most realistic graphics. One of the things I love about the game is how it brings you to the 'action' right away. Whether that be a specific location, a specific person, an encounter, whatever it is you are doing, there is no time wasting. In other games, I tire of the 'filler' content. You get a quest. You search for the person/location/item. You travel back to the quest giver. Get your reward, move on. Rinse & repeat. Very tedious and not fun. Here you are brought directly to your objective in most cases and jump right into interesting dialogue, combat, etc. As someone with a full time job, wife and kid, I don't have time for nonsense. I want to jump right into discovering the story and the characters and that's what this game delivers. I wish more games were like this. Finally, the combat is refreshing. It is fun, tactical and satisfying. I've enjoyed roleplaying various scenarios and either dying a horrible stupid death playing the role of an over-eager hero wannabe or barely surviving by the skin of my teeth an encounter carefully planned and executed. This is an underappreciated gem with great replay potential that offers truly different experiences. I can't wait for their next one!
