The effects are very impressive and the combat mechanics are really rich, depending on the team you use. The fights are challenging, the story has tons of layers, which you can't all see in a single game. On the bright side, each time you misclick your target you can go boil yourself a nice cup of tea while reloading. Two : even if you can save at any moment (which is a great feature), the loading delays are so frigging high that it become a recurring nightmare. One : a single mistake can really cost you a game over. Should I rank them, I would probably advocate for chapter II as the absolute best since it is so big, so diverse, so challenging and starts to bring a lot of the story to your understanding.įinally, the game is very punishing for two reasons. Is also is not completely consistent as some chapters are much better than others. It's confusing as well : combat screens get full-on bonkers and unreadable, and tons of mechanics are never properly explained. Cursor bugs (really sometimes trying to aime for a spell sends the cursor in the hell-hole below the map for no reason).
You can speedrun it, or just take full on hours exploring the big ass map with tons of secrets everywhere. You can customize your whole team to do as you please (and try again during the game if you're not completely satisfied). Larian gave us a great tactical RPG game. I bought the game expecting an old fashioned RPG game.
