It's out! First impressions are it has a brisk pace, you're out on the road in less than an hour which I appreciate. The voice acting's been well done so far, everyone has a West Country accent in the starting town which works well. The localisation's very charming and the game itself is gorgeous of course. I love the enemy animations, it gives them so much character, especially the Cruelcumbers. SE have given them a lot of love and care and it really shows.
When you level up you gain points that can be used to unlock abilities in one of four skill sets - Swords, Greatswords, Swordmastery and Luminary. Swords has a flame sword attack you can unlock straight away but I think if I save my points I'll be able to unlock a party wide lightning attack via the Luminary skillset quicker so I'm going for that. I don't know for sure but I think other characters might have different skill sets? I don't have any yet so I'm just guessing.
I'm playing it on the following PC -
i7 4790k @ 4GHz
8GB DDR3 RAM
SSD
AMD R9 290
Windows 10
I guess my 290 is finally showing it's age because even overclocked the game will sometimes drop to 50fps outside of town @ 1080p maxed out. There is a 30fps option in the menus but I haven't gone for it. It seems to be a very competent port from SE which I think is par for the course with their bigger titles.
So far so good then, I can tell I'm going to enjoy this
