Great story, though combat left something to be desired!

The Good
I found myself engaged with the story, characters, and world of the game. It was difficult choosing which companions to bring with me, as they have unique personalities, abilities, and interactions. Having consulted a friend about the game, I am looking forward to revisiting the game in the future with a very different story path than the one I explored.

The game has a unique magic system, which is somewhat fun to explore, though might have been a bit much for me at the time of playing through the game.

The Bad
My largest gripe with the game is how finnicky combat felt, where I ended up "hoping for the best" while the game auto-played the encounters for me, with some minor input from me.

I found the pacing of when you are introduced to companions a bit confusing. There was especially one companion that I did not utilize at all, as I met them too late into the game, and they introduced a whole new gameplay element that I didn't take time to absorb, as I knew the end was near.

The Bottom Line
The major selling point for the game is definitely the world, the player character's interactions with the world, the companions, and the moral quandaries available through the game's story. In my case, I didn't vibe well with the combat, but the game is otherwise worth it.
