This game is such a beautiful looking game and for the most part it plays well. There are a few glitches that happen when loading areas but I didn’t encounter more than that.
Though the difficulty of this game compared to the first one is astronomical! In the first game all of your skills were assigned buttons meaning you didn’t really need much of a “build”. Whereas with WOTW there is only 3 skills ori can use without switching out.. this makes combat and adventuring more difficult.. since you could have skills for adventuring set and get into a fight and instantly die or you could have fighting skills set and not be able to get anywhere.
For most of this game that was alright, I focused on movement since I liked to get around quickly. Though in the final part of the game the difficulty soared (even though the rest of the game was immensely difficult) and just made me frustrated with the game rather than enjoying it.
After a while of gameplay the story was put on the back burner for me and it was more about just surviving and retrying a million times until I could do it.
If you’re buying this game for the first time and aren’t a professional platform game player then I’d suggest to play through on easy, since I played on normal and didn’t remember any of the story because I was too focused on everything else.
