Stunning visuals, terrific soundtrack and great voice talent simply can't overcome mediocre gameplay.
It's like the dev team had all the talent in place except the gameplay designers.
The combat is repetitive and the camera play design horrid.
But the visuals are outstanding, the story decent and the fantasy backgrounds a pleasure to watch.
The artwork is outstanding and the fantasy detail terrific. I love how they touched on all the classic monsters from fantasy lore.
I love the bestiary notebook I just wished they had categorised it instead of having one long list.
They should have went with diablo combat mechanics intead of god of war.
The combat feels extremely clunky and the camera is aggravating during combat.
Had they gone with a more open world design and used open world combat mechanics this game would be an instant classic.
Still it's worth a buy just for the incredible visuals and deep fantasy lore.
I really hope they change the combat for the sequel.
Such visual artwork talent should not be wasted on crappy gameplay design.
