To start off, I enjoyed this game, yes it had its flaws, but I still enjoyed it.

I got this game for sale really cheaply as a physical copy and I figured I had the money which I didn't need and thought the game looked interesting and decided to try it out. So I brought it and started playing the game. Now the game itself is really short, depending on your speed it could take 8-10 hours (I had an issue where I lost a lot of my progress that I sped through, hence a lot more time on my part). The main flaw that others have talked about is the combat, which I agree, it isn't the greatest, but I didn't mind this too much, I found that the more annoying flaw was the camera, it was set up to have very scene shots of the terrain as I walked through it, however, this caused me to get stuck on some obsticales I couldn't see due to the camera angle. The other part of the game I want to talk about is the graphics, they're not the best for a game in 2016, but it's not that bad considering I'm not that used to quality graphics anyway. Now about the story, I thought it was a good rendition of the 'save the world' trope, from a character who actually knew what was going on (although it would be revealed to the player later), I found the main character, Argus to be just a really good character, especially compared to the 'generic protagonist' that you're paired up with for most of the game. Another major part of the game that it tries to sell you, the humour, I agree, there were parts that I thought "huh, that's pretty funny" and then parts where I actually laughed, a lot of the humour is based around making meta jokes at the expense of the classic "save the world" trope and bringing characters from other games (The Witcher, Skyrim, Final Fantasy) which I enjoyed.

Some advice I have for people playing the game for the first time:
- In the first part of the game (a prologue of the game), don't buy anything besides potions that you might use because everything except your money gets taken away for the proper game.
- You can infact move the camera in the overworld the game has (I realised this too late)
- I think that the last skill in the fire element skill tree isn't that good and you shouldn't take it (it increases your roll speed and distance at the cost of mana, but I usually would roll around when I didn't have mana so this just further increased the problem, when I lost part of my game, me unlocking that perk was lost with it, which I don't mind) but maybe you won't mind having that ability so this one is relatively subjective.
- You can use fire, earth or frost magic for your ranged and melee, for ranged, don't go with fire because it just shoots a projectile, while the others have extra effects, like a rocky wall of spikes which can stop enemies from getting to you or a flying icy buzz saw that acted as a bomerang and hit enemies on the way back to you, cutting through them.
