This is a brilliant game. There's definitely some issues with padding-which is a shame, because if it was better paced I'd happily play through it again with a full legion squad, looking for secrets and really making the most of mastering the combat. Also, the side quests don't offer much. But I love the world and although at times the graphical style can be a little too buys, it looks wonderful in the right moments.
I hadn't played at Platinum game until last year with W101, but they're 2 from 2 for me. I think I'm going to play Bayo 2 at some point ready for 3/
