Thumbs down

I want to play the demo. Unfortunately, after I start a new game, all I can see is the UI. Videos and in game are completely black screens.

Edit: just checked the forums, seems to be a conflict with AMD cards. Not very encouraging.

No one likes AMD.

Forget you Nvidia, you're not always the way it was meant to be played.

I just played the demo. Loved it.

The whole time playing it I was thinking to myself, "I'm definitely buying this. It's plenty of fun and exactly what I thought it's be." Funny enough, I got somewhat bored through the last bit where they let you explore the open world. Maybe it was just because I got caught stealing, went to prison, broke out of prison, and spent my whole time running away from guys who are way more powerful than I am..?

Anyways, the game seems fantastic, and I made a pretty decent Lara.

Hm... I'm hearing mixed opinions on it. From the looks of it, it seems like your generic fantasy RPG full with a boring story, and on rails gameplay. I hope I'm wrong. :| Based on your experience, it seems so.

Don't expect anything fantastic.

It's just a good, solid, fun game with plenty of depth.

Tear is rambling about this, so it has to be good.
Downloading the demo now.

Oh, come now. Don't take my word for it. It's a very strange game, and if you like RPG sorcery and the like, you'll be impressed.

Looks good enough. Reminds me of Fable, only with more flashy crap and a cartoony art style.
Rarrgh, it's taking too long to download.

Okay, I just tried the demo. It was pretty fun, the class system seems to be very dynamic and easy to use, the combat is thrilling, especially when using magic as well, the graphics are simplistic (And may I say dated) but I'm really digging the art style. What I didn't like, though, the dialogue options feel shallow, making little to no difference, the character creation is way too simple and the inventory is badly designed.
While it does seem like a fun game, I'm not sure if it's worth $60. I'll wait for a price drop or some Steam sale.

^ I pretty much agree with the post above. The game is great, I love the style/ combat etc. (even if the graphics do look dated) but i'm a little unsure on it still so might wait a while. Especially considering I have so much to play at the moment!

Still, it does seem like a pretty fun RPG, and there can definitely never be enough RPGs out there.
