    The art and music are great and that is about it. This game is so easy and linear. Its literally look on your map, walk to marker, talk to someone/ slap some monsters, look on map, repeat. The game is just 1 storyline. The 30 playhours are more like 10 because al the long long long dialog which have no propose as to tell you a story. And you cant skip the dialog and cutscenes which sometimes take 5-10 mins. You dont need to read it for clues or anything. Its almost if you read a book and sometimes can walk and slap some enemies. And the more you progress to the end of the game the more and longer dialogs you need to endure. If this sounds like a fun game to you than play it. Otherwise think twice before buying.
