Gameplay
This game does not hold your hand what so ever. You need to venture out into the world and make your own adventure. There is a huge grind for resources and levling and this is what makes the game enjoyable and frustrating at the same time. Levling your gear is a must if you want to progress and become capable in the world. Combat is based on your weapon and later on unlocking magic and it is not necessary to eat however eating gives huge buffs based on the types of food you consume. There are enemy Npc's as well as PvP. Many servers are availible however if you want to be really immersed i would recommend getting into an RP server. Crafting is a very huge part of the game and the more you craft the more recipes you discover. Building your Plot enables you to put craft tables down. No VOIP system just typing


Graphics/Frames
Graphics look awesome however there is a lot of room for improvement in terms of optimisation.
90 frames on a good day lowest was 29fps

Progression
The progression is being able to get better gear and also learn newer recipes
Dungeon raiding and Killing Npc's looking for Adventures.

Final Thoughts
I think there is still a lot of room for improvement
Such as adding crouch!!! and Dodge!!!
Adding the ability to name pin's you put on the map.
I think the nc's need a rebalance. Breaking down old weapons and gear should give back resources.
The game is really fun i have a lot of hours into the game since its launch.

4/5 needs to add the things i mentioned in the review.

The game has become unplayable for me lately, Heavily lagging and motion blur even when switched off! its not in good state i am currently waiting for more fixes.

What i feel lets the game down most is its lack of Gamepad implementation the game clearly is a twinstick shooter but opts not to follow through and after playing on a mouse and keyboard i found it to not be the kind of game i would like to play. The servers are empty...... I wonder why

Its a great game but the server issues make it feel really bad i do hope they fix this issue maybe open up more server but at this time i would suggest people wait till they figure this out.

Really poor gamepad support and for keyboard there are too many binds. Had to quit as the UI locked me out..... mot sure about it yet need to play more. Its not selling it to me yet as i have yet to understand it.

Too buggy right now i would wait as the UI keeps breaking... The amount of times i have had to ALT/F4

Gameplay
The gameplay is great offering a load of missions and different build and skill tree's.
The fight can get a little messy as the game offers no Lock on when fighting mobs leaving it a hard task in controlling your attacks. There is a camp system that can punish you out in the world if you do not have the camping gear. Your Pawn companions are there to support at your command and can turn the tide with their access to vocation. There is crafting and finding new items in the world and also a system giving buffs for various ailments such as eating aged meat. Side quests and open world events such as ambushes can happen in the game also coming across wondering pawns out in the world who will also aid in certain situations. There are huge beasts like cyclops and griffon and also dragons to come across This game can be completed in 2 days.

Graphics/Frames
In the cities the game can struggle in crowds and navigating the towns i found in the world the game ran well. Shadows and lighting are the major resource eaters in this game. I was getting a nice 70 to 80 frames in the Openworld on high settings with a drop to 30 and 40 in the cities. 50 to 60 during combat scenes.

Progression
You level and unlock more items and also more skills in your chosen vocation. There are also things in the story which i wont spoil but they will make the game flow much nicer. Also levelling your pawn and outfitting them with gear is a very nice touch. Upon completing the game you will be able to replay the entire game again at the level you finish with and with the gear you acquired.

Final Thoughts
The game is wonderfully done and really looks amazing and also the soundtrack is truly enjoyable. The story-line feels great although somewhat short. There are Side-quests to complete though so this keeps the juices going. I don't like the end game i would of much rather to be a bounty hunter or mercenary seeking new quests and contracts hoping some future DLC changes things. I did not like not being able to cook in houses or to sit on its furniture as the little things are usually more immersive. I think there should be an option to run with your own pawns as a group of 4 in total having 2 of your own created pawns and 1 of an created pawn from other players. My biggest criticism is the Unavailability to not Lock on to enemies i feel this is a poor job by the team and would of been a great Implementation.

Rating out of 5
My rating is going to be a 3.9 out of 5 because of the things i mentioned above. I feel they did not really use the scope of the game to implement finer ideas, but respectively the game is great.

Waited 30 minutes for a game.
Played it and found it to be clunky and just not well put together.
Better off playing Expeditions of Agartha or Dark and Darker.
This game is not baked at this time needs more time in the oven.

Gameplay
So far ive seen that the missions are to rescue townsfolk and capture villains (or to kill them) there is also a final Capture the king objective once you have done enough missions. There are coins you use to buy weapons and gear or you can extract with whatever you leave with from the mission. The combat is simple and there is blocking and dodging and throwing. You can do solo runs or grouping with co-op. there are achievements that reward with cosmetics items.


Graphics/Frames
Very good graphics that run smooth and have given me 120 fps with no drops so far.


Progression
Just getting coins and unlocking things like Cosmetics. Have not seen anything else maybe unlocking other mission types also.


Final Thoughts
I would love to see more character progression such as skills and perks and also add jump for parkour style game play and maybe a catch the villian before he escapes. I could see something like escort the kin/queen/princess/prince with carrage and open world scenario there is so much that this game could do well.



Rating out of 5
Its fun but needs more elements i think so 4/5 for now.

Gameplay
This game offers no bounds in terms of how you play as does not punish you for how you build your character. I love the customisation in character creation and the lore that exists within the game. There is so much to do and a lot of friendly communitys within the game's social side. There is a simple combat system and its easy to learn. Traversing the map is easy and user friendly and its not hard to follow quests.


Graphics/Frames
The graphics are easy on the eye and run great on mid range rigs.
Have not suffered in terms of frames getting 120+


Progression
Build your character and craft weapons and armour to complement what type of build your going for.
Raid dungeons for sets etc.

Final Thoughts
Awesome game that is way better than diabloIV
Would like to see more put into character looks etc.
And would love to see mounts.

5/5 hands down.

As of right now its a work in progress there are bad mechanics in this version yet there are hopes that something new is on the horizon so i recommend for the sale price.
