Just finished the game on Easy level, I had heard a lot about how broken some fights were but in the end, with a good build guide, it was easy enough. I had already played the two Styx solo adventures before and loved them. Styx is my favorite gameplay character ever, with his funny and sarcastic way. The orc Arkail is a worthy companion.
I followed a build guide which favors mostly defensive gameplay with high stamina and deflection for Arkail, although you still need some offensive skills because in those few fights where Arkail has to fight alone, he needs to deal at least some damage to come by on his own. Styx is the main damage dealer and has good skills for melee fighting and ranged stance. But having enough hit points (I had 300 in the end) and enough Dodging saved me in some fights where he was on his own.
The story was good as always in a Spider game, with Greedfall my favorite in terms of story and characters. Styx and Arkail are an uneven couple but very funny in their dialogues. Their enemies are rather dull on the other hand. At the beginning, it took me a while to get going in fights because you have to use the strategic overview to calm things down and get used to managing two characters at the same time. Also, the game control with the mouse was too sensitive and unsteady. After I got the knack of the fighting, though, things turned out more brightly and I started to enjoy the game. In the end, I won the fights rather easily.
Not being able to save in between some fights is annoying, and some cut scenes come too sudden, but overall I enjoyed the game. Took me 26 hours to finish it. I have now completed all Spiders games I know of from this one upwards and I like them. And hey, for less than 2 Euros ...?
