A short and unsatisfying non-experience

The Good
I did not find anything outstanding in the game. What I liked best was the bagpipe tune playing while looking at the world map. And the story (if you may call it) is quite straightforward with no uncertainty what to do next...

The Bad
...but this is also one of the spoilers. There is absolutely nothing to do beside the main plot. Granted, there is a handful of dumb side quests, but they are not even worth mentioning. I personally consider it sacreligious to draw a parallel to the masterly crafted Planescape: Torment! Gorasul's elaboration of a storyline or characters tends to nil. The NPCs and party members (up to three at a time) are as bleak as the main character and the combat part is highly unbalanced. I was unable to win a crucial solo fight near the (rather unexpected) end of the game until I found a 'sweet spot' on the map where the monsters didn't attack. The following final battle on the contrary was a piece of cake and after a foul joke there was the main menu again. Bummer! Inventory, party and spell management is barely functional. Most of my hard earned gold pieces (quest rewards are offendingly low) were spent on repairs of the weapon 'companion', which You are able to level up only if You are using (and ruining) it, but to no real avail. The rest of the items available as a consequence were much too expensive. Another bad piece of game balance is that hit points regenerate faster than spell points.

The Bottom Line
Like every hastily prepared fast-food this game leaves a bad taste in your mouth but not for too long, as there is nothing remarkable to remember.
