Dungeon Siege III

Disappointing, roll or die.

User Rating: 7 | Dungeon Siege III PC

By Alonedog | Review Date: July 4, 2011

I played the game for almos 5 hours just to find out that this was not what I expected. As I am really RPG/Slash and Hack games fan and had loved the early Dungeon Siege games, I had to try it even if the low score Gamespot gave to it.
If you choose to play with Reinhart Manx (mage), be prepared to roll over and over again or die, especially in Hard Mode. It's really difficult to kill a boss without rolling, actually I must say IMPOSSIBLE to kill them without dodging constantly. The graphics and sound are cool, but not so impressive as I expected for nowadays engines. Maybe they are going to release a patch to change some of the bad elements in this game. I really got disappointed for this to the third of a great franchise like Dungeon Siege. Let us just wait to see if Diablo III does not do the same mistake too.
