Positives [+] and Negatives [-]
+ Cool OST.
+ Unique pawn system.
- Uninteresting storyline.
- Clunky team combat (Could be an issue on my part).
- Not fun to traverse the open world. No mount, slow running even at Very Light weight load.
- I don't like the idea of autosaves overwriting my manual saves. What's the point of having a manual save system if I cannot reload my manual save after an autosave, which autosaves happen a lot. I'm not opposed to having no manual saves as I am a Souls player, but if a game has manual saving, I want that save I made to stay.
I have heard the best thing about this game is the combat, but it has a poor story. I agree with the poor story, but the combat doesn't do it for me too. It's just a slog. With a combat system that is based around team synergy, there are other games that use this concept way better. I know this game is old, it was perhaps amazing when it came out, but it didn't stand the test of time. Which is unfortunate for me because I was looking forward to Dragon's Dogma II. I will still look forward to it and hope it's a complete 180 compared to Dark Arisen.
