Overall this is a nice and decent game. One thing, they should get rid of all this "assassins creed" staff and make totally separate franchise. Something which represents open-world games in a purely historical setting without a sci-fi/assassin theme. Something without this annoying stitching too unfitting "assassins" theme.

Solid and interesting RPG game with an entertaining story, interesting characters, good gameplay, and very nice graphics and animations. There are minor technical flaws. Also, the simplification of the combat system with only 4 ability cells seemed to me an unjustified solution. But overall it's a solid good game.

It was a very good game at the time. One of the best in its genre, in my opinion. The level-up system, the plot, quests, non-linearity, music, atmosphere, locations, characters, grimdark style - all this made the game special and interesting to spend dozens of hours in it. The game also has several turning points just at the very moment when you begin to get tired of doing one thing, suddenly you find that you have much more new opportunities, and the world around you is much wider and deeper than it seemed before. And it didn't feel like the usual division by chapters, just your actions and achievements influenced the flow of events and something new was happening in the game world and some previously visited locations changed accordingly. And it felt more natural and fluent than in games from competitors in the same genre of that time. The game has enough of its own mechanics and innovations, which previously were not presented in such games, and by the way, they are still not presented in modern isometric RPGs/CRPGs, because they simply copy more famous representatives of the genre, while this game stays pretty underrated hidden gem. It's a pity because many of the new mechanics here are very interesting, and if they were given a polish and development in the following games, a very distinctive and interesting branch of the genre could have been formed.
