I was a HIGE fan of the first game and couldn't wait for the sequel. The second game proved to be amazing for a few levels until I noticed one issue...every level has a set time limit that requires you to rush at full pace nearly the entire time. I spent more time worrying about how many turns I had left than I did enjoying the game. Sadly, I ditched my CD after that and it was lost while moving. If they included an option to simply turn this feature off, I wouldn't think twice about buying again. As it is, 94% off still isn't enough to make me pull the trigger and buy it again.
This game itself is a classic with an amazing story and compelling game-play. I could play this game over and over again without ever getting bored as there are multiple paths to take while playing. It is in fact, one of the best RPG games ever made. What makes this a tragedy of a game is that it is also the buggiest game I've ever played and the bugs are MAJOR and highly frequent. Quests get stuck, the game crashes constantly (and I mean constantly), every cutscene will close the game to desktop and reopening the game from the start bar will give a black screen, there's no option to skip these scenes (meaning alt+tab about 20-30 times before the game is visible), even the very opening game menu is bugged the same way cutscenes are and usually requires alt+tab several times to get it working, multiple graphic issues with shadows, and the list goes on and on and one (literally). If you check the forums on this site or do a google search, you'll see pages and pages of different game breaking glitches. Kudos to Gog for actually getting this terribly broken game to even install. I have the original CD and it crashed every time I tried to install it. All that said, if you have A LOT of patience in dealing with constant glitches in a badly coded game, you will find this to be possibly the best RPG ever made. I am toughing my way through the glitches (mainly the cutscenes between "chapters") because of how great this game is and how excited I am that someone finally actually got it running at all on Windows 10.
