First time writing a review and wow does this game absolutely deserve it.

If you're a fan of cRPG's in any sense (think Baulder's Gate) you will absolutely love this.

The soundtrack is absolutely incredible, the graphics are great, the gameplay is where it REALLY shines. The fights are difficult, the AI is actually smart, and tactician will put your characters through a grinder when you thought you had it down. At no point in the game did I feel like it was a slog or a chore to get through during my first playthrough, there was always something meaningful I could do. Just one more side quest before the main story, helping out this one person, talking to this one chicken. The story is also very well done, I feel as though I could actually talk to the characters if they were real people, they are fleshed out very well.

Larian is an extremely awesome company, they delayed the release of the game to add in a fully voiced game due to community request. They listen to their customers, apply the feedback properly, and keep them updated. Definitely the best game company out there right now.

The first act is a very good tutorial, the second act builds the world and the story, and act 3 and 4 take the fun of those two and multiply it by 5. I don't have enough good things to say about this game. The only negative is that it has now ruined so many others for me, because they won't be as good as this. Now I'm bored and don't know what else to start playing.


Ratings:
Music: 15/10 (seriously the soundtrack is THAT good)
Graphics: 9/10
Gameplay: 10/10
Story: 9/10
Difficulty: 10/10 (has difficulties for all levels of players)

Overall it is a top 3 game that I have ever played. Now to wait another couple years for the next one or any possible DLC.
