Edit (10/11/18): Well blow me down they actually fixed the FPS issue, I've suddenly jumped from 12 FPS during sieges to 80 - 90. There are still a few other bugs but these are minor e.g. the level up sound looping until you put enough distance between yourself and the spot you leveled.

Also since they removed the market the nemsis system is much improved, I actually knew majority of the orcs that showed up in the final the battle and the necromancer story lines. This is one of the highlights to the game, each story is different you will have a different experience then me or anyone else depending on what orcs you meet and how you interact with them.

I have now changed by review to recommending the game.

Edit (12/07/18): After speaking with the support team for over a month, generally they reply once a week, it seems they have no idea why some people are getting low FPS but are adament it is not the game.. they also said shadow of war came out before windows 10 and tried to use that as an excuse until I corrected them.

At this point I have little to no hope they will ever fix the issues.

Original Post: I wanted to love this game it ticks many boxes for me the combat, exploration, world setting and army building are detailed and well done. However I cannot recommend this game due to how buggy it is:
- Even with a high spec system you can end up with between 20 - 30 FPS no matter what settings or resolution you use
- There is a very noticable lag in control input
- Falling through the world is surprisingly common
- Game ending bugs seem to be frustratingly abundent

The last issue for me is the worst offender considering how many hours you are expected to pour into this game to get the experience you paid for, and it seems every step could be leading you to have to reset and lose everything. I would wait to see if Monolith fix these issues otherwise it is not worth the price even in sale.
