Very raw, yet well aged game. Haven’t touched BBI expansion yet. Despite some areas looking dull, the game looks great. Some character designs and gear are a bit boring, but alot of the bosses look and have great designs.
The combat is really smooth , but felt like I never had quite enough stamina. For the time, I’d say the combat is better than games its associated with like DS2.
The summoning aspect is the highlight, it honestly felt as if everyone within your party held actual weight to them within the fights.
The world itself wasn’t too great, they could have more going on, but the dungeons were solid.
Playing on normal provided a pretty solid difficulty.
Story and plot wise, it’s really just not there during early parts of the game. I played the minimum amount of side missions since the main missions themsleves felt like side missions for the most part.
i don’t know if I’ll continue the game, I’ll probably just wait for dd2, but if I had this game when it first released Id probably have hundreds of hours on it
