Yes the game really wants to be like Portal but it lacks the charm and originality of the first Portal. And spoiling the cthulhu twist in the description of the game doesnt help. The graphics are nice but sometimes the game just doesnt give enough visual or other hints like Portal design did and you get stuck. The mechanics arent explained and the game isnt much fun at points because of this.
This game is the worst in the modern POP series. Graphics have a nice style but the gameplay, combat and story are below avarage. Its simplified so much even a monkey could play it... I recommend you to avoid it and get the older ones or forgotten sands instead
The game is realy good and has hands down the best combat system in any game ever. I dont understand why Ubisoft abandoned it after this game. The tone is more mature and different from the other 2 games in the trilogy but I liked it more than the fairy tale style of the other two. The sound is not in sync in most cutscenes and game seems to run in slow motion sometimes but this can be fixed by turning on/off v-sync. But it also sometimes breaks the game and you have to change it to be able to progress(falling for no reason, platform out of reach even if it should be). I recomand this game
The original EFBB is one of the best games I have played in the previous decade. DA on the other hand was too action oriented insetd of stealth. And some of the changes to the original make me want the old version to be sold on gog too.
