This game is basically a reboot of Dark Souls, but easier, which is both a good and a bad thing. It's a good thing for those who thought DS was too difficult but its fans will be somewhat disappointed.
You can make the game more difficult or easier by choosing how you play it: if you add any ranged element it'll be a lot easier than if you choose to go all in the monster's faces.
The story is decent but the 'you don't know who you are and what you did prior to the game starting' bit is really old and one can assume everybody's gotten tired of it.
On the positive side, the character doesn't swing around an obviously heavy weapon as if it were made out of Styrofoam, you get the feel that the weapons and shields have weight and have to incorporate this information into timing your attacks and counters.
Although I listed some bad things, this is not a bad game. It's more than decent to excellent, sound and voice acting included. And if you don't mind the cape clipping the shield when you move (which is almost all the time), you will find the graphics to be outstanding.

You take the cape of Marius, a Roman Centurion and find out how Rome came to fall in the storyline proposed by the game designers. Albeit a short campaign mode, it should sate anybody's need to see flying limbs and smashed heads.
The combat system is simplistic and once you get the hang ow what mouse button represents what colour, it'll be a breeze to master. That's not necessarily a good thing as it will become quite repetitive as time goes by and the lack of enemy variety does not help at all.
The story is interesting and has a supernatural part that ties well in with the traditional Roman superstitious nature and brings an added level of intrigue.

Quite a long way from DA: Origins when it comes to the storytelling. Less reading, more Mass Effect 3 type of choosing the dialogue options. Not necessarily a bad thing but it shifts away from the more classic RPG to new-gen.

A game that brings older players back to their Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale roots in gameplay and yet it differs from them drastically when it comes to difficulty. It is not a game for those new to the genre and it can be quite punishing on higher difficulty levels.

Remember, the QuickSave button is your friend (F5)

The game is just as good, if not better, than Far Cry 4. In keeping with the Far Cry tradition, it's on an island in need of a 'hero' to come and sort everything out. In this case, a fight between the local populace and pirates
