As someone stated it was way overhyped: before release it was said to be a successon to Fallout... in that regard it falls flat on it's nose. I mean Fallout has issues of it's own but in terms of content, freedom replayability and general fun gameplay it it miles ahead of this. This game does have it's own identity and some unique stuff but to me it is a but repetitive, boring, the artstyle and colors in general remind me of candy crush...everything just looks so.....artificial. I admit I never finnished the game but that is because it is all i said...repetitive, boring, kiddy artstile, too restrictive for an "open world" game. On it's own not compared to any other game it is not bad but that again...nothing special to write home about like we hoped it would be
So let me start by saying this for people than want a TL;DR of my review......the game is awesome in every way, from story, to combat, to voiceovers, to graphics, loot is awesome. You will not regret buying this game . I have invested 550 hours in it and I ams still playing it and enjoying the heck out of it. There are bucketloads of different ways to play this game so get in it and enjoy. Now the review :D. Let me start with the good: Whoever wrote the main story and the story for each origin character should get his oun monument. It is so good and interesting. Even the smallest sidequest is very well written. You will have so many great, funny, interesting conversations with different characters in this game that is just mindblowing. I would like to tell you more about this but i dont want to put any spoilers here. The turn based combat is also amazing. I never liked turn based combat in games but in this one it is so good. You take your time each turn because there is so many different objects and surfaces to interact with that can help you in different combat scenarios. If you plan your coimbat before actually engaging by investigating the battlefield you will have a blast. It is not necessary to do that to win but it is so much more fun to use surroundings to enhance your abilities or just vreate pure chaos on the battlefield. The sountracks are very atmospheric and beautiful to listen to. The graphics are stunning. Even when you zoom in on the characters. There is such attention to details in this game. Well i wont spend time on this because you can see it from pictures...to think this is an indie developer...this game has better graphics than some AAA titles from huge companies. The bad: Well honestly other than game crashing 2 times on me in all my 550 hours and few minor bugs that you hardly notice...I dont have any other problem with this game. As I said...you will not regret this purchase, unless you just dont like RPG games or top down games.
