really the best RPG I've played in a long time. Once I even inadvertently played through the night. Thinking it was a bit late, I realised it was actually morning already. It's captivating like a really good book. Can't put it away. And yes it is Hard Core :)
What an incredibly fun game. Damn. Story is gripping, Mechanics are fun, Combat is excillerating and fun, and the open world stuff really is nice and not just work, like in many games. Reminds me of Tomb Raider and Fallout and genuinly new stuff. These Asthetics and the incredibly life like machines. Loved playing this.
Damn I dig the story and the suspense and imminent doom is very nicely told. Been sitting on the edge of my seat more than once. But also I have finished this game in 20h and was idling a lot of it. and each time I did play the game crashed about once every hour. Not that bad because there's always an autosave to resume never hat to do a battle twice, but it's just bad workmanship to release a game that crashes constantly :/ bittersweet I guess. -> wait for a big sale!
I liked the banner saga very much, almost finished it in one go (ok I had to go to sleep but only 1-2 hours were left) The story had some unforseen twists and isn't all nice. (despair and sorrow mostly with little moments of joyfulness and fun) Anyway I only played combat in easy (was playing for the story) and that was just that, which suited me nicely. And the story was definitly worth it.
