9/10

Gameplay

The gameplay was different than what i normally experience in games i play. I'm pretty new to RPG's so the build and skill tree variety was very impressive. The downside, was you can get pretty overpowered and not get to actually experience some of the fights. Also if you use summons, they can get in the way making it impossible to hit enemies unless you used ranged or extended weapons.

Level Design

They regions are split by Acts. Act 1 is one region and so on. I love this design since it's a little more organized for exploration rather than scattered all over the world. There are alot of dungeons that are short and linear with some hidden areas.

Story

The story was very interesting. I've never seen a world have a crossover between Arthurian lore and Nordic mythology. It ended up working really well together. However, the ending was so anticlimactic, i had to dock points for this one.

Character Development

It was interesting seeing how characters change throughout the story, including side stories. It makes you change your decisions on their fate/which direction you want to take in the questline. The NPC's can also change their view towards you based off your actions. Loved it.

Visuals

The environment was visually stunning and so was the drip. The facial animations were not really existant and did not match the words the characters were saying. The enemy designs were alright!

Audio

The audio design was good. The soundtrack was exceptional. I loved it entirely. The voice acting was also done extremely well. It's even more impressive that every character you interact with is fully voice acted.

Difficulty

I didn't find the game to be difficult, just enjoyable. It had difficult moments at the start of each area, but once you level up, it's back to normal.

Replayability

There is a playable DLC and you could absolutely replay the game with a different build. You can also make different decisions and have different endings for each part of the story.

Overall, i really really enjoyed this game. It was my first experience in anything like an elder scrolls game. I was very much immersed. I loved the bounties, i loved most of the side quests. They didn't feel like chores, there was story intertwined with each task. It was great. I absolutely recommend it for any who is a fan of elder scrolls games.

10/10

Gameplay

The gameplay was fun and engaging. Many decisions were time based, so you needed to focus or you might miss some important decisions! Additioning, the actual playing of the game sections were quite entertaining.

Level Design

They designed the episodes to be like episodes of a TV show. So it was very digestable and fine to stop after an episode if needed. They had very solid ends so you felt comfortable enough to drop it and come back the next day. There was usually story, dispatch missions, story.

Story

Top tier. The story was fantastic and the voice acting sold the story even more. The choices you needed to make were also so fitting for many different personality types so you can truely play how you want to play. It was very enjoyable to play through.

Character Development

YES. The characters don't just develop in the story and the choices you choose, they also develop through the dispatch missions themselves! It's really cool to see relationships build and characters get stronger and more confident. It's also so cool to see the dynamic between each character.

Visuals

Beautiful art direction. The facial movements were also excellent. You can see how characters feel easily in their face and body. Also very cinematic.

Audio

The audio was great in sound design, music, environmental, all of it. The music was especially very enjoyable and HILARIOUS.

Difficulty

The missions were quite difficult for me personally. I never failed, but i did struggle getting them 100% complete. Nothing crazy though. Just a very enjoyable cruisy game.

Replayability

You can replay for many different decisions, whether you want to pick different characters or romance someone else or build different relationships. There is a ton of replayability.

Overall, this game was an easy 10/10. I really couldn't find any cons aside from the fact that theres the option to add QTE for additional immersion, but it doesn't impact the game in any way. You can fail the QTE and you get the same outcome when the section is done. There also weren't many. Highly recommend.
