Yes was GWG but not the legendary edition. So would still have to buy all the DLC

Played when it was on GwG and enjoyed it a lot more than I was expecting to. But given that the DLC is all multiplayer-focused content, I'm not too fussed about upgrading to the Legendary edition.

likewise just got the GwG version, but have you tried MP? you and a buddy slaying hordes in the coliseum arena and double teaming on a kill, surprisingly enjoyable.
BTW the story isn't very long, easily done in a day if you have the time.

Yes, tried the MP - it's fun, but then so are a lot of other MP games that I'd rather be spending the time on.
I really enjoyed the SP - no depth to it at all, but a fun way to pass 6 hours or so. A sequel with a few new ideas would be interesting

pretty game, but ultimately a bit lacklustre

Agreed. A beautiful looking game to showcase some truly stunning nextgen graphics in November 2014 but the game is just repetitive hack n slash and I managed an hour and my brain felt like it was dying. It's cool though if you like hack n slash but not for me. People were expecting huge things from this game.
I was looking at my games and what I'd played a lot of and what was just siting here and for the xbox one I've got the most value out of Mafia 3 and Forza 6 which I think is truly superb. On the PS4 it's Until Dawn and currently Horizon Zero Dawn that have given me the most game time. Not important info, just saying though )

Hell of a game for a tenner, if you haven't already played it, I suggest you do. And if you have, I suggest you play through again :smile:
