Played for the second time, but actually finished it this time around, before I just dropped it right at the second to last mission for some fucking reason. This is a very interesting game, that should I not know it is a triple A 2012 title with a big expansion that fixed a lot of issues and added a fair bit of content in 2013, I'd say it feels like an Early Access release. Overambition on a not so big budget, perhaps. The pawn system is very unique, even if the pawns are retards and at times feel more like another obstacle instead of allies. Combat is fun, there's a decent amount of variety, though I would like more slots to put active skills instead of just 3, but maybe that would be too easy. The world is really boring and small, its all just european grasslands and ruined castles and caves. Not a lot of variety there, and the story is about the same. Characters are bland and not memorable, its full of cliches, but I liked the conclusion. This series could really, really benefit from a second entry. The combat system and the pawns are already very good, a bigger and more varied world with more stuff in it would be enough for me. As for now, this is worth checking out,
