Such a great idea held back by questionable game design and game breaking bugs. The game starts really slow, you really don't have any freedom until Rattay, There are also a lot of cutscenes these are by no means bad but I feel there are to many spaced to close to each other. the targeting in this game is fustrating but after a while you learn to work with it. You also start with no skills, no really it feels like every NPC can pull off large chains of attacks where as your character is still winding up a strike. Once you get some experiance (both in game through training and with the controls) combat is a thrill and pulling off your own combos is highly rewarding.
