Buy it on special.

Pros:
Beautiful looking game.
Performance is great with a 4070 Super and everything maxed out.
Simple combat (not quite as simple as FF XV, but its mostly just mash melee and finish with a spell for the combo, use your skills off cooldown).
Great cinematic battles (with QTEs here and there).
Torgal.

Cons:
You spend a lot of time in cinematics, my screensaver has turned on multiple times while watching them.
Cinematics sometimes lag, not sure what the cause is. CPU is ~50%. Disk usage is 0%. GPU usage is around 15% but there is noticeably lag while watching them.
Takes awhile (because of the cinematics) to get to a point where the game feels good.
Enemies are either damage sponges or nothing.
No sprint key. In the combat zones you will sometimes get a speed boost from lord knows what.
Looks like you can only ever use one weapon type (long sword).
Equipping armor doesn't look like there's any aesthetic change for Clive.
