Ok I am 14 hours into the game and have joined my fraction. So far I 
really like it. It is however the typical Piranha Bytes game (if you 
played one of the Gothics and Risen 1 you will know what I am talking 
about) It again is joining one of the fractions in the game working your 
rank up and then go for the main mission.

The biggest problem in the beginning was the timed fighting system, 
which now that I am accustomed to is actually quite good. The only 
problem with the fighting system is the camera which stays at the same 
place even if the enemies and your character move around. I am playing 
with a controller so I can adjust the cameras easily with my other 
stick. Not sure if the same problem also exists with mouse control where 
you dont have that easy camera control (one of the reasons why I play 
third person games always with a controller)

The fights are quite easy btw. because your henchmen are quite powerful.

Also the graphics are not as bad as my initial impressions were, 
definitely above last console generation, but not up to modern standards.

This is definitely not a classic but a very good action RPG if you get a 
hang of the fighting system, although due to the strong henchmen a 
little bit on the easy side. If you liked the previous Piranha Bytes 
games you definitely will like this one as well, if not then stay away 
from this one as well.
