I'm a huge sucker for skill grinding games and character grinding in general. I used to play Old School Runescape back when I had way more free time. And, even though I don't anymore, games like Skyrim, where you can grind up skills to level up and get talents and unlocks are so fun to me.
Personally, I wound up doing a Necromancer run and enjoyed the overpowered-ness of having a bunch of summons out killing things for me. Then, as my skills went up, I was able to get a bunch of cooler potions and various other items to get stronger. Watching my army of summons clobber enemies was a lot of fun.
As many people have said in the game's reviews, the game's animations and combat aren't really its highlights.
But, a few things that I think people might overlook are that the art is actually quite extensive and overall pretty good looking. There are tons of assets in the game and its obvious a lot of time was spent making every area unique.
And then there is the story and abundance of side quests to complete to experience all of that content in.
I'm also a sucker for heavy-fantasy RPG game-settings in general too, which is no secret (<3 Din's Legacy).
Overall, the game is a labor of love. And, if you can overlook some of its flaws, I think there is a lot to enjoy. It's definitely a hit-or-miss type of title for different kinds of players, and for me, it was a hit.
