Summary
If the dazzling production values don't win you over, the storyline, characters and engaging combat will.
We like
- Looks and sounds amazing. Dazzling art-design and musical score.
- Strong storyline that has genuine moments where you'll feel touched.
- Engaging battle system that grows in challenge.
We dislike
- Side-quests involving spells offer little challenge. You're just going through the motions.
- Can be irritating when you just want to go from A to B quickly, but weak enemies keep attacking.
