First impression...im not gonna end it...even if game design is very nice
If i could make a simply, short, comment... Canada Dry video game...it looks like a RPG, it smells like a RPG...but unfortunatly its not a RPG...
But lets try...
He got the "Bring me gran'ma's chicken, i need it to help you to save the world...but not before you spent 20h seeking for a metal scrap, two flowers, a licorn tear and a big-mac with a diet coke, to build your ultimate-god-slaying-Hello Kitty-sword" classic way of working of most of RPG...but IMO after two hours: not enough freedom..."tunnel game" like the first fable. Go there, bring that, now go there, and dont follow your own way...it's this way!!
After a classical intro..."Who are you stranger? Oh! You are the Messiah! Excuse me, i didn't recognize you... Follow me NAW! to avoid an apocalyptic ending. It would be stupid, you just resurrected..."...i run escaping from a dungeon in place of tutorial. Different weapon, cc, ranged,magic,etc...Okay so where's the exit...that way? Ok...
Finally out in an "open place" starts the explorating part...
WTF? My character can't jump...??wtf??, he can't even climb on a 2feet hgh rock?..... Does he really plan to save the world without jumping?
So i went to the first place you can call a village, passed three lvl, performed one or two side quest( more run than fight
), try to understand where's the logic between the different choice in the conversation i had with NPC (no logic in it....you can ask question or answer topics that you haven't even talk with the npc before) and get to the point of the story when you met the Scary dark haired lady (goddamn its me usually bitch!!) and my opinion is...no, no...too much time running for nothing in this game(like in all video games but its another debate) and not enough free run, a clearly paddle focused game where they tried to combine Devil May cry with Skyrim... it miss the assassin creed's part to be complete and almost perfect imo...okay i sometime caricaturize but i swear... just enough.
Sad for develloping team who made a real good works on graphism and design that it was produced by EAgames once again...

The frustrating part for me is that you can't go straight to a point...u need to turn around all the rock islands...in an elder scroll you can run in straight line to your goal. And the only way to jump in KoA is to find a wooden floor that say "here you can jump down"...for me it looks like an Elder scroll for young players
Fallout is a PITA for orientation...i must look my pipboy every 20m to be sure to walk in the right direction...Skyrim is worse...you walk 5s, you check the map, you walk another 5sec, you re-check the map...and you're gone to the wrong direction 4/5 times.
yeah, i would check my pip boy non stop. What a pain. I think i spent more time in pip boy checking map and dropping gear and guns then i did playing
