    As it's predecessor this is a very good tactical RPG, with tons of stuff to do, a lot of loot to get, the story is supreme and there is a lot of side missions. The gameplay is fun and deep. You will sink a lot of time on this game and have a blast

    This is an amazing RPG, with lots of depth. However i can see how many find it hard to get into it. it simply has too much running around, pretty much half of the game is moving from one place to the next. feel this game would be a much more enjoyable experience if there was less running around by making things more dense and less spread out. Because of how slow paced the first 10 hours of gameplay is it can be very difficult to want to replay it because it can be extremely boring. Which is a shame as the game has so much replayability, but because of how much of a slog the first quarter of the game is it basically makes you not want to bother.

    This is a really fun, old school rpg. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys a thoughtful story and old school, dungeons and dragons style mechanics.

    A really good game held back by extremely long load times every few minutes and crashing during those load screens. If these issues get fixed the game would be a 5/5.

    If I had the choice between the PS4 port and the pc version I would choose PC all day. The game overall is great but the mechanics just don’t work on PS4.

    I hate this game. You have to give commands and then release the command wheel for the action to start. A waste of my money.

    Game kept freezing up. Wanted to return this game when save files corrupted 18 days after it arrived, but discovered you have a 15 day limit on returns. Most companies have a 30 day return policy. I won't make the mistake of purchasing any more games from Best Buy!

    Unfortunately, I am unable to give a review of the gameplay itself. My copy of the game kept stopping with an error message. In my opinion, it's wrong to sell games with so many errors and problems with playback. I should have been warned when the game was not available at my closest store.
