The game is good but really close to being great but just makes some bad choices that are just there to ruin the game. Like if you are going to put emphasis on the companions, could at least make them smart. There have been so many times where they just lag behind; either they are caught on collision, or just slow, or even dead. So if you don't pay attention, you will just jump into a battle without them being anywhere near you, and sometimes they are near you and just sit there and watch while you get your cheeks clapped by a horde of monsters. By the time you command them to "GO!", it's already too late, so you always have to be looking at the mini-map to see if anyone is not moving so you can press "To me" and force them to teleport to you instead of them automatically teleporting to you after you reach a set distance between you and the pawn. When you respawn, your max health is already lowered despite technically not having fought them since you go back to the previous save before you had fought them, just to frustrate you even further. The game felt a bit too short, and I felt they needed way larger bosses and fewer fetch quests at the start; with Brant , I didn't enjoy the game until that part finished. The game does a lot of unique things for the ARPG genre that felt like a breath of fresh air, like the pawn system and how they can have their own quests or be a guide for certain items or quests. It really makes them feel like their own unique person with their own personality and everything. I just wish they had more voice.Actors and unique lines because you will constantly hear them say the same five lines. Thought if they were going to add any microtransactions would have been for DLC new voice actors, but I never felt like I had to pay for any microtransactions. However, I can see that if you do or decide to, you could honestly get some insane pawns from the start, which is kind of pay-to-win in a paid single-player game as well. But you can play the game any way you want; it would be better to just mod it and add some pawns that one-shot everything. At that point, it would be free as well, but at least they are pretty cheap, though. But I never felt like I had to pay for them; I just had to play more.
