World exploration, graphics, music, story and lore were good.
As my first introduction to the Pathfinder, character building was interesting, though there are some balance issues.
I feel that Kingdom management does add to engagement a little bit, but there's far too much filler, it gets tedious, and RNG can really set you back.
Gameplay for the most part was fun, (with the exception of the very first encounter with swarms, and the last two acts full of mobs with very cheesey mechanics).
I played this game for over 80 hours and then it buged out and stopped me from being able to finish it. Would be a great game if not for never being able to complete it. Reloads etc were to no avail.
It makes me addictive. The only factor what I don't like is maze. The only bug what I found is that I am not able to pick up enemies' weapons or arms from their bodies after they were transformed dogs by me.
I clocked almost 200hours on my first playthrough of the game, and enjoyed (almost) every minute of it.
It got pretty tedious late-mid game with just having NOTHING left to do other than let the clock tick by while going through the kingdom event cards mindlessly spamming 'skip day'. Feels weird to be punished for being obsessive and effecient about completing things in such an indepth RPG...
Other than that, great game. Money well spent.
