It's at its best when the action is flowing. I liked the levels and had fun binding the weapons and abilities like it was a Quake setup. Upgrading was easy too and even on hard I only had to make a few changes every other chapter. I left a lot of health and skill upgrades on the table before finishing the story, and I managed ok. Some of the side bosses were more of a challenge than the main boss.

There's too much storytelling. You loose control of your character a lot. It has life but I lost immersion when everyone started talking slang. I came for the magic but this was missing a lot of texture.

You're going to absolutely hate the FOV, it maxes out at 90, but you can change GameUserSettings.ini to use vertical values.

No chapter select, there is NG+. Some missable collectibles, the rest you can revisit after the story. Also some missable achievements but with a guide you can plan ahead. Save files are in Local appdata. You'll need another pass to get 1300 kills.

My gpu is slightly above minimum, and for the most part there were zero problems during gameplay, but it absolutely CHUGGED in the open spaces. Everything was on low and it would dip to single digits immediately. The lava level was a nice setting.

Did I really just play an FPS with zero explosive barrels?? No environmental destruction. Hiding behind a solid object on bosses was easy. There's mild platforming with a leash.

I forget the reasons and some of the motivations but I followed the plot most of the way. I tapped out somewhere in the last half.

It's about a step above Redfall. Taking control away from me and making me watch another cut scene was annoying. Not being able to mark a location on your map was also super annoying. The lady from Suits is so one dimensional, nothing was memorable.
