Story is whatever but gameplay is fun. I got a good 30 hours or so out of it before I got bored.

It's what you would expect from a WRPG, but it actually has good combat and it isnt completely ruined by tons of bugs. Its easily worth it for that price.

Definitely worth it for that price. The combat is great, but it does make it a little easy (although they may have patched in a higher difficulty). Some of the quests can be a tad MMOish, but exploring the world and finding the Lorestones helps out a lot.

Definitely a fun game. Gameplay is top notch but story is lacking. Also, i hate when the main character doesnt speak. Worst thing is there is no jump button.............like seriously? :| Why cant i jump off of ledges? :|

But if you must, might as well get PSN+ because it is free right now.

Pretty sure you can buy month increments. Shouldn't be much more than 5 euro...

Then when you realize that KoA is not worth the price, at least you can still play Bit Trip 2 and XCom for no additional price.

Well, yea, thats true. Also, its $10 a month here, but i see your point. You get a ton of free games for that $10 a month or $50 a year. I dont think i can afford NOT to pay for PSN+ :P

I feel the same way. Even a "down" month like this, I don't feel bad about paying the price.

Sure, but you won't want to stop paying when they release next months games. Also, you can completely finish this game in the month time frame...and several others too.

Yeah, I knew someone at least done something to increase the difficulty, because their forums were full of people complaining about how easy the game was (and god was it easy--fun, but easy). Good to see modders stepping up before the devs.

The game is fun, too bad it ruined Curt Schilling. I wish it had a darker art style and harder difficulty, but it has great combat, good loot, the leveling system is fun.

The GS review warns not to try nd finish every side quest in each zone, and I agree with that. There are way too many and no big pay offs for completing them.

Anyway, for $5 it's a good waste of time. Have fun...

Yes, but its once a year. And its hard to stop paying when you get to play so many games at no additional cost. Its like paying $50 to play all the games that would usually end up in my back catalog anyway.

My only problem with the game is the loot is random as hell. Did they ever fix that? I got the game day 1 and played for well over 50 hours before it got really annoying fighting bosses and only coming out with common equips. Then I can go outside and smack a push over random monster and get legendary gear. Frustrating as hell trying to collect set equips.

For that price it's an absolute steal.

Enjoyed the game quite a bit when i played through it and it's DLC packs were pretty good as well although you can become overpowered a bit too easily.

Sometimes if you feel your stuck it helps to skip from middle of world 1 to world 3 because world 2 really messes you up.

It's a game that favors quantity over quality. There's alot to do but none of it is spectacular or memorable. Good game though, for that price it's a steal

Story isn't the greatest, but the gameplay is excellent. Definitely one of the best controling game this past generation. I wished all action RPG played this well. Definitely worth that price. I paid full price for mine and don't regret it.

Go for it. Don't expect something amazing either. It is an average game with a good combat system that sadly gets old fast.

At this price its criminal...there is so much content in the game.My advice just stick to the main quest though
