Overall had a lot of fun with this. There's such a strong sense of personality in this game, and I loved exploring Albion, getting stronger and fighting enemies. The story was simple, cliché, but functional, and there were some amazing characters that really got me invested in the world. It was also a very satisfying sense of progression - I really enjoyed going back to enemies that kicked my ass when I'd got better equipment and skills, and enacting my revenge!

However, the combat and targeting systems did feel a little clunky, and haven't aged well. I also found the ending section quite underwhelming, as there was so much to explore, but not much to gain from doing so, as opposed to the rest of the game, which was overflowing with things to do around every corner.

Although the progression felt great, towards the end of the game I had more health potions than I knew what to do with, which did make combat incredibly easy and a bit tedious at times.

I did also run into some freezing issues towards the start of the game, which made it a very rocky start - though this did stop towards the middle of the game itself.

Overall, very fun, but marred by a few issues, and overall a bit too easy. Recommend at least one playthrough!
