I finished the game yesterday. Enjoyable if you can get through the tutorial, and you may have to push yourself through Chapter 1 until the action picks up. I thought it was a little short compared to the first game though.

Persevere, mate. Took me over a year and umpteen attempts to get past the tutorial. I thought it was horrendous and badly implemented. I simply couldn't see what all the fuss was about if the tutorial was a fair reflection on what was to come. Thankfully the rest of the game is nothing like the tutorial. The combat remains clunky, but the rest of the game more than makes up for that.

If you can get past one of the worst tutorials to have ever graced any game, you'll end up enjoying one of the best games over the last 10 years.
I also like how the game warranted a 2nd play through rather than just using worthless achievements as the sole incentive like so many other devs do nowadays.

OK not just me then. I felt so inadequate when I couldn't even beat the tutorial guys. Haven't really touched it since thinking this game is not for me. I'm still in the camp right at the start. :smile:
