As a gamer, I was very excited to be able to play this game, as it looked very similar to some of the titles that I absolutely love. However, as a Christian, I really have to say this game rubbed me the wrong way (If you're not a Christian, then by all means play the game). There are several instances within this game in which you had to either choose to save the "god" or kill them. I would not recommend this game. As far as combat systems go, it feels like half of The abilities that should be there, are missing. By the time you reach level 20 which is the highest level for your abilities, The abilities really aren't doing very much anymore.. The highest level abilities are underwhelming, And feel as though you worked your way up for nothing. By the end of the game, I was still using the skills I unlocked at level 5. The storytelling /writing wasn't terrible, but it wasn't great either. Graphically speaking, the game is beautiful, And the developers put a lot of effort into making sure that if you ventured off the given path, you would find some loot there.. Unfortunately 98% of that loot Is useless crafting materials. The game leaves much to be desired when it comes to weapon variety as well, with a grand total of 3-4 unique items for each set (wands, swords, helms, gauntlets etc...) most of the items that you pick up, Are just a higher rarity version of the exact same thing you started with, You could take your beginner items, never pick anything up but crafting materials, And end the game with those very same items.

For those that are coming here looking for whether or not it's worth getting to play the new update, The map expansion is large, however It also has an exorbitant amount of bugs and glitches. It feels very rushed, quest markers are not where they are supposed to be, some quests are missing actual quest objectives and leave you to fill in the blanks, if you're trying to talk to somebody, don't try to skip a conversation... It will freeze and you will have to restart, especially with the Overseer and with Oberlin, unfortunately they seem to be the main people you talk to. This expansion seems more like a cash grab because of the tv series, Rather than something people could be proud of, or put real time and effort into. This much being said, they have put a lot of effort into this game, expansion aside. I'm looking forward to seeing what it is like once it's fixed.

Overall would give this game three out of five stars, It is very fun to play, and most definitely addictive. I have given three stars only due to the fact that the game is very buggy in every aspect, whether it be multiplayer which consistently has connection issues, or it be malfunctioning mechanics within character builds. The game also has a bad tendency to freeze at very inopportune times throughout the story, worsening with endgame content. Speaking of end-game content, there really isn't much to do. You can chase pods to try to get your build right, but after your build is ready to actually do something, there isn't anything to do in the game other than rerun the same 14 expeditions over and over again, which is the exact same thing you had to do to get the gear in the first place. I truly hope to see some DLC and some fluidity come to this game.
