Firstly, I did enjoy the game. There are bugs in it, but nothing was game breaking. The pro's - historical accuracy, it’s nice to see a Medieval setting sans magic everywhere. No elves! Yes, there is an ‘alchemy’ system, but there had to be some way to heal your character. While I found it hard to get my head round, the combat system did add to the game, made you feel less like a one-man army that can destroy all in your path and more like an actual person. The plot is good, not sign posted, no surprises either. Good sized open world Awesome armour system, proper layers! Con’s… the combat, especially at first, I found to be unforgiving. You need a ‘potion’ to save, and early in the game I didn’t have many, this led to a few times where I lost 30 minutes of progress, but I ended up in unexpected combat and then died. Bugs, they are there, but nothing major. With the awesome layered armour and clothing system that made I would have loved to see a third person camera, so you can see what your character looks like (outside of the inventory screen). I know why they don’t have an aiming aid for archery, because they want a more ‘realistic’ way of combat, but I feel they could have done better at letting you view down the arrow, instead of to one side. My biggest complaint, it doesn’t feel finished, like they got to a certain point and ran out of time. Just before the end of the game they spend a good 10 minutes of exposition about characters you don’t meet. Now apparently this game is the first 2 acts, and the third act will be a separate game. Which should have been clearer in the advertising. But having this character explanation at the end of game one doesn’t make sense there, because they will only have to recap it again at the beginning of the second game, or assume that you played the first game not long before starting it. Also *spoilers* you have 2 objectives for most of the game that you cannot complete almost like.. the game didn’t get finished.
