Wow, for a game being sold for £90, it feels like a mobile game from 10 years ago, with bland characters, dead, empty locations and boring combat.

With am amazing Pawn system that's been wonderfully evolved from the original, and the best combat seen in an Action RPG to date, DD2 is astounding. Yes there are optional Microtransactions to buy Pawn Crystals that can be earned normally through play as well as changing character appearance which can also be bought normally, but they're purely there for those with more cash than time who wish to jump-the-queue.

After 30 hours, I've quit. Mired in the past, this is nothing more than a poorly designed, bland and boring game that harkens back to games that were original in early 2000s.

I was so excited for this. After the excellent Bumblebee rebooted the horrible mess that Michael Bay had created, I was so pumped for this sequel and the more diverse cast was a welcome one. Unfortunately, what we were subjected to was a mess. We have the typical 2-dimensional characters whose entire existence is that the White Man keeps them down and they're not respected by a world that hates them. Add to this a nonsensical story where villains can magically find lost temples without explanation, moving dials built into pavements go undiscovered in major tourist locations for over 500 years, characters seen in Bumblebee with G1 appearance magically turn into Spanish spectacled nerd in this sequel and the entire point of the film is to allow them to greenlight a different franchise reboot. I went to a Midnight screening for this (as UK cinemas have cancelled all but 1 daily 3D showing due to weak sales) and left at nearly 3am feeling wholly disheartened buly the absolute lack of joy, fun or magic in this extremely bland 'adventure'.

First two episodes were fabulous, very excited for the rest.

Tired, overly long and full of clichés, generic characters and repetitive chase scenes.

Boring story with a charismatic actor playing a truly dull role as the Castillo. Game itself is the typical Far Cry repetition minus skill trees or on-the-go crafting. This time round the only new addition seems to be masses of glitches with AI companions getting stuck in scenery, reticles not appearing on sghts (which prevents you shooting), sounds and/or voices cutting out, missions failing to update and readable posters stuck to the wrongside of walls thus being inside inaccessible buildings. How on Earth this got released on PS4 in this state I'll never know.. Update: finished now and this is the first game Ever I've skipped the final cut scene as the story was absolute trash with 0 emotion, terrible narrative and just damned boring.

First and foremost, I've only read the first 7 books of the WoT series. That said, Ive read enough to get a solid grasp of the characters and factions of the world. It was due to this that I first became surprised by the huge changes implemented in the show with characters being handled totally differently both in action and appearance. This is irrelevant in the grand order of things as the show doesn’t need to follow the books to be a successful and fun show; unfortunately, it simply isn’t. There are many issues here, from modern-looking clothing on poor medieval villagers to a terrible script which completely fails to grasp the attention or instil any emotion. Some may say this is due to the cast themselves, but the cast themselves are more than adequate for this sort of show but they’re simply not given anything beyond amateur dramatics to do. Additionally, watching it as a stand-alone show without considering the books, it all feels horrendously rushed with the characters positively flying from one Dr Who style threat to another, all in a single episode and not lingering anywhere long enough to simply get to know them or explain what all this madness around them is! And my mention of Dr Who is not a passing one as, for a show with an alleged $10,000,000 an episode budget, the effects are often barely on par with the aforementioned BBC TV show. This is both down to the SFX themselves but also some really shoddy camera work and production that lack any artistic flair. We’re now 4 episodes down and I am going to TRY and soldier on through them all, just to be able to say I gave this hot mess an adequate chance but I doubt I’ll return for Season 2 as this is not a replacement for Dr Who, let along Game of Thrones and lacks any passion or excitement.

Very basic gameplay, childish story (I honestly thought it was based on the Rescue Bots considering how child-like the story was) and incredibly short, boring story. Not worth playing unless you're aroundb8 years old.
