I've heard many positive things about this game, especially its combat. I played this game for 4 hours, and, to be honest, did not enjoy it. Although the combat has many things going for it, such as the multitude of ways to kill your enemies, it feels extremely clunky. The weapons and magic are inefficient, at least at the beginning of the game. In the end, you just end up using a sword and kicking people. The movement of your character feels extremely immobile, which reduces your character's defense to parrying with your sword or shield.
Another problem is that npcs are very inconsistent. Some of the enemies just get up after being stabbed to death, which is supposed to be the finishing mechanic.
The story of the game is almost nonexistent. It's there only to move you from location A to location B, but even this is executed rather badly. The dialogues sound like they were written by a horny teenager.
Idk, this game just feels like several other games that have many things going for them, that have original ideas, but end up being a raw product that is appreciated only by a bunch of devoted fans.
