Looks really cool, impact of weapons on enemies during combat feels great and sounds great. Decent soundtrack IMO and I like the weird colorful designs on the characters even though they go against any medieval theme. That being said the game is TOO easy and quite boring after a few levels. As you gain more and more options for strategies enemies become a complete joke and the mechanic to turn back time multiple times to correct your mistake is very against the point of even playing a strategy game! I regret buying the DLC as I fell asleep twice playing it and it is the most boring story I've ever played. Please save the money on the DLC you will probably regret it and the extra power in the form of rings and weapons is not needed at all since the game is already quite easy.

Hey everyone, I felt strongly enough about this movie to want to share my thoughts. Which, for what its worth, is in itself a highlight of the movie. The Good: Stellar performances from pretty much the entire cast. Seriously some amazing talent being showed off here but imo Peter Dinklegage (I'm not too good with names don't kill me) is just unbelievable in his range of emotional control and how he can make "thinking" into a viewable verb. Also a very interesting plot overall showing a pretty recent and terrible vulnerability that's actually effecting lives and flying under the radar and that's conservativership abuse. Its actually a good dramatization for just how far this problem can go in real life so its valuable insight and if seeing it unfold on screen makes you angry, it should. The Bad: The Movie takes the liberty of believing that the audience is rooting for the protagonist at some point. No. Since the protagonist is the villian there needs to be an underlying current of humanity that makes the audience begrudgingly respect that villian. If the reasons are powerful or relatable enough people are willing to forgive ALOT and understanding a person's emotions can bring you to their side even when you know they're wrong. But the main character, (forgot her name, again sorry, I suck with names) just doesn't bring us there. If anything the film takes you from thinking she's a bad person to absolutely being livid at her. Her antagonist in the movie is a Russian mobster who apparently traffics drugs but he DOES have an established human reasoning and shares his emotional processes so clearly that you are brought to his side and forgive all his sins. Pretty much missed the mark on the character development here! Also, the movie never lets the main character grow or change or learn. In her world there are only two kinds of people - lions and prey. But when is this idea ever challenged and therefore proven? Never. She's basically absolutely correct without any chance for the audience to agree or disagree or see an opposite point of view challenge hers. The main character (her name starts with M lol) also achieves some pretty bold victories but never has to sacrifice anything to get there. I mean, that's pretty unrealistic and further divides the audience from appreciating anything she accomplishes. In life, and imo in any good story, the protagonist MUST lose something, MUST learn and MUST grow, she doesn't do anything of the such... her life feels like a complete fantasy, and when the movie ask you to care or be impressed you just end up feeling distant and disappointed. If the theme is that the rich and powerful, so long as they're willing to be ruthless, can literally do anything and never have a challenge then OK, maybe thats fair. Last point. There's a weird feminine quality in the movie and a few misogynistic characters... as real and important as these things are to discuss and represent, especially on the screen, it feels very unauthentic to me. I'm a guy so maybe I'm just more in a station to learn than a station to speak but imo it feels empty and shore horned here. Overall actually a fun watch and I recommend, especially for Peter's performance but don't expect to enjoy the entire ride. Thanks for reading!
