Played this back in 2019 and it was fun but gets repetitive, has too many bugs, unbalanced gameplay, the official forums are too dictatorship heavy and has a toxic community. Can be frustrating to play, especially with toxic players but is still fun with friends and if played in short bursts rather than playing every day, for example. Overall I still like the game but it needs a lot fixed.

The story and soundtrack really made this game for me. I felt like I was watching a movie the whole time and I cried throughout.
Now I get that the dialogue for Neil and Eva was supposed to be funny comedic relief and maybe they are funny to other players but to me it almost ruined the experience. I actually almost quit the game many times because of their unfunny dialogue. The characters themselves would be lovable to me if there was better balance with their comedy in this game.
Another issue I had was the game always telling me where to go with arrows and telling me how to walk every time a new scene ended. It was too hand holdy for me but that's a personal preference.
Otherwise this game is worth playing for the story and soundtrack alone. Definitely good for players who want a game that's light on puzzles and gameplay elements with a focus on story.

A game I come back to every year or few years once I've forgotten all the details about it so I can experience the game again as if it was my first time playing.
(Original Steam review)
Loved the story, gameplay, characters and replayablity of the game. I honestly can't get enough of this beautifully produced game so I thank everyone who worked on it for caring enough about it to make it as good as it is.

Amazing game that made my childhood. Sadly never finished it because my version bugged out on the PS3 during a big boss battle (got it on the store) so I ended up back to my last checkpoint which took away so much progress. It's a tough game, is stingy with checkpoints and saves but is overall still a gem in my eyes.

I loved this game so much as a teen. Got it for free on origin because they gave it away for a certain amount of time. I got all the way to the dwarf kingdom part but had to stop because I messed up in not bringing along a specific follower needed to beat a certain boss. I sadly rage quit because I refused to restart the game. I really need to play it again now because I've forgotten so much of it but I will never forget falling in love with Alastair.
