At its best it's fantastic, crazy ambitious, especially for a comparatively small studio. An amalgamation of compelling open world mechanics and gripping medieval (hi)story. At its worst it's a frustrating, bug ridden, shoddily designed mess, with way too many "did they have any kind of QA at all?!?!"-moments for a "finished" product. Not the best day one purchase. Still, it has violence and wit and boobs and moral conundrums and NO. FUNNY. STUFF. It's almost old school. Thanks, warhorse.

One of the greatest gaming experiences I've ever had. There are glitches in it, there are imperfections - but you have to admire how dedicated the team was, how determined they were to bring an excellent story, set in unbelievably detailed world. I'd love to see other studios understanding what exactly that means - that the word 'detailed' doesn't stand for graphic, but that the world in which the game takes place, is believable, realistic and living. And that all while not sacrificing fun.
