Got this game for my nephew to play - i had an eye on it for a while but waited for a sale c_c
Tried to help him get into the game-play
Solved some hard parts for him - god, didnt think the game was so hard after the looks
Got addicted and played the game through in one go :3
Still wasnt satisfied and maxed all skills, found all items/buffs - All in all about 5 days i think for first run with exploring, figuring stuff out, enjoying it
Boy came back and solved some parts i spent like 10 tries on in 1-3 runs t_t
Now sitting and impatiently hoping for a next part of the game
Pro's:
Non violent - quite sad and a bit scary at times (for a kid at least) - you can play it without having to kill alot of the mobs - later you actually use the mobs to reach spots in the map and to move around faster
Pretty much bug free as far as i can tell
Has a huge world to explore - you need to return to alot of places if you want the buffs later on though(need to aquire certain skills)
Great story and music - simply awesome
Really challenging your gaming and puzzling skills at times - very tempting to get some buffs without having required skills yet - alot of fun
Very immersive and addictive
Has some replay value
Nice skill tree - nothing special but it fits very well into the game
... loved the end of some "world events", where after solving the quests, the real action starts - the escaping the place
Con's:
Eventhough it has an open world, its ment to be played story driven and there are some imbalances if you opt for exploring first, before playing the story, as i always do :3
Not a real Con, but I wished for a coop/hot chair gameplay in the game
Its really worth it, even for grown up gamers ... not just a kids game!
