I have been a fan of Arkane studios ever since I played Arx Fatalis. This game is definitely a jump from AF, although different by design. The melee combat system is a great one - I have never seen it work so well (oblivion should take a lesson on physics here.)
The game has multiple endings although they leave a little bit lacking. The story itself is not the best written but it is carried out and told very well which in a video game is just as important in my opinion. I hope they continue to make games based on this engine.
The game took me about 9 hours in all to complete. The game is short but I would definitely recommend its purchase as the content that is present is more in depth than other game content.
Apparently the game has some bugs that caused it to launch poorly but there is a patch out that addresses a huge list of errors. I installed the latest patch and only encountered one bug throughout the game. The only thing about the game in a negative sense now in my opinoin is optimization. I have a beast of a computer now and can play the game with high settings and AA AF turned up but on my previous system which I would consider the average for a current PC gamer I had to turn nearly all settings down or off and that was running a 6800oc and 1gig of ram.
End of story - if you have a high end PC and are craving some fantasy excitement pick up this title.
