This is a great game, but it takes some time to understand how all of the things work. This isn't a game you play for a couple of hours and have everything figured out. I read a review and it said the campaign was 18 hours or so. My campaign last over 60 hours. There are lots of areas that are tricky to get to, and they are completely optional, so I think I probably found and played more of these areas. The advantage to doing this is, of course, to get more and more items to craft more and more powerful spells. Also in the review it says that when you swap out a sigil (like ice) and replace it with some other sigil (like lightening) and then swap back, that your first sigil's levels goes back to 1. I think that happened in some of the first versions of the same, but certainly not in the version I was playing. My recommendation is that when you buy this game, give it a serious chance. This is the best magic-based game that I have ever played.
