tldr: A poor attempt to exploit Baldur's Gate 3's popularity Remember how people were rightly skeptical when Baldur's Gate was in very early early access? Many feared that the game would simply be released in this poor condition. Games like this are one of the main reasons for that. The story is boring, the characters are one-dimensional and everything else reminds you of a game in the earliest stages of early access. There's also no voice acting, always a bad sign, and there's always overly epic music playing, also an incredibly bad sign. The whole game feels like someone saw the popularity of Baldur's Gate 3 and wanted to push something out the door as quickly as possible to ride the wave.
Inconsistent voice acting in main quest. Everything is voice acted at the beginning and after about 2 hours (when the return plicie has expired) it becomes less and less until there are more non voice acted szenes as there are voice acted ones. -1 star The quest-texts in the dialogs are bad formatted. It's just a uninspired wall of text. This makes the unvoiced parts a pain to read. -1 star Data of your mashine is collected. You cannot disagree with that. Appart from not playing the game of cause. -1 star Battle speed is either too fast and everyone dies (realtime) or too slow and it slows down to a crawl and becomes extremely boring to play (Turn Based) -1 star I bought the game on sale and I still think it's overpriced. I advise against a purchase. Instead buy Solasta (Indi-Game, lower price, good game with flaws) or Baldur's Gate 3 as soon as it's finished. (Well polished game from a major studio, more expensive). I highly recommend both games. This one? Hard pass!
Voice acting only in the cutscenes. They are good, but in 2019 this is unacceptable. And please not the "this is a game of independent people" Sorry but after "Divinity: Original Sin 2" is no longer an apology. When I want to read a book, I read a book and when I play a game I expect a certain standard. What's this? 1999?
This game is the best instance for a AAA game. You can feel the work and love that went ... wait... this is not a AAA game? Kickstarter? Indi?... Ok let me start over again. This game is amazing. It feels like the old Neverwinter Nights (the first one, I do not talk about the second.. no one talks about the second one... no one). First thought I had from the screenshots was "oh sh*** that is a wall of text". Can you belive my excitement when I hear the narrator the first time? It was the same amount surprise and just "man that is great". To make a long story short: Gameplay +++++ Story +++++ Voices +++++ Classic RPG +++++ Everything else: +++++ If you like clasic RPGs with a round based fighting system, a great story and fantastic voiceactors then buy this game. Yes it is that good. How much should you pay: this game is every Euro, Dollar or Pound worth. If you get any special offer it is automaticly a bargain. In all other cases: Full price 50 or even 60 $/€...
