Story is great, it hooks you right from the beginning Game play needs sometimes to get use to. Pause button and position of your team is key.

Combat is clunky and sometimes confusing. And sometimes your guys feel weak, But the game itself is very fun. Story is engaging. And there's dwarfs.

A great telling of the books, really funny and has some amazing moments. Only problem I encountered was the default positioning of the camera, because at times the game decided that the fight was less important than a tree. I really recommend this, as it is a very fun experience full of typical dwarvish humor.

*sigh* Boy, oh boy. I am giving positive to this one, but i am going to be darn' rought with it: 1) it took be about 4 years and 6 attempts to get through the game. I kept on giving up on it so many times. 2) the game can be finished in about 4-6 hours. it is SUPER SHORT (short game about dwarves? that's a grudgin')- aftergame credits took about 30 minutes. In this regard, that is just untasteful 3) How could you make combat weakest part of game that is fulyl focused on combat? There is nothing else in the game - no puzzles, no mysteries. no 'take/find/bring/sell quests'. fighting is clunky. Camera is abhorent. Bugs - sending enemy into locations you cannot reach, having you to take them down with long-range abbilites.... it was supposed to feel dynamic and fluent. But was not. Liteally the worst part of game was the combat system. 4) too many followers, that shined only in 3-5 min of cut scene screentime, but were so unintersting i never used them 5) there were no meangful chocies in the game - non affected end game. It was close to visual novel, for all the choices revolted around either gaining some extra gold or food... 6) gold and food which were all pretty much useless. the shopping system just didnt had place in that game. I had too much gold and too little shopkeeper, selling too limited merchandise, i ended up buying everything - food being conusmed on the go - but items? I close to never bothered using them. 7) huge map, 90% empty thought. I could go on and on and on. The game feels rushed. The game feels as if all money were pumped into music and voice actors (absolutely amazing. strongest part of the game. really gave life to characters and scenes) which left no founds for game itself. Then again. Concept is great and pleasant. story is actually nice. it could be easily prolonged, every quest could be spread into smaller side quests. Why did main antagonist did what he did? He gave mini speech at the end, but it wasnt enough! Companion quests - also none. It was nice story. Nice 'book' if you could say so. but this price? Never. look for 75%+ sale, and you still might feel cheated on your money.

Camera control is a bit clunky and combat is not perfectly polished, but overall a good and entertaining game with a good story. I bought it on sale and definetely got my moneys worth and more.
