Excellent and engaging with beautiful characters and interesting viking lore; combat is dynamic and fun with a variety of things to beat. Main character is a bit of an arse but he mellows and there is actual development in the story.

A lovely little tactical gem; great story and characterisation and good replay value as you can replay missions with other characters. Recommended!

This is a great game but it is TOUGH. It's got plenty of story, beautiful graphics and lots to see and explore, the lore is excellent as well. Character classes are adaptable and interesting and there are usually a few ways to do any particular problem.
BUT If you want to play any of the higher level difficulties you'll need planning, class knowledge and to be saving a lot. I recommend playing on the easier levels for at least one playthrough; I'm a veteran of DOS, POE and BG but when I came back to play this on Tactition after finishing BG3 on honour mode? Ouch. It pulls no punches and you really need to know how to build the characters optimally if you're going to have a chance. It *is* a great game, but be prepared to crunch the stats and do a lot of googling to work out how to survive the higher level difficulties.

Souls like and need a controller really.
The intro feels good and the history looks interesting but the tutorial is lacking. then you are dumped somewhere, who knows where with no motivation or story beyond "doom is upon the world".
There's plenty to do and stuff to find but after a few hours of running around and murder-hoboinf random people who I had no idea or lore for for no reason I dropped it.
It is very pretty and of you want a massive world of bosses to kill for no story, go for it, but it feels like a giant beautiful picnic table covered in wonderful glasses containing only tapwater. Presentation is great, but no flavour or depth.

One of the best RPGs I've ever played. Definitely the best party-based RPG I've played.
Immersive characters, great NPCs, loads to explore and so many options and paths to solve or blow up problems. This is a total winner.

Interesting combat system, robot dinosaurs, great story and a brilliant world to explore.
Did I say Robot Dinosaurs already? Now appearing at a regular bargain price as well. Snap it up cheap!

Wonderfully atmospheric, great story and beautiful music. This game is a real joy of a cyberpunk ride.

A beautifully immersive game that is as much about the stories and relationships of the characters as the battles, as each chapter and time passes they grow and their relationships develop between each other; if you like stories and party based rpgs then this is a great game!

Excellent 5e dungeon crawling game with good voice acting and great fights; there are a few bugs here and there but nothing much to worry about.
