I really enjoyed the game in general.
The Story and Gameplay were good in general. I found the combat to a bit slow and cluncky.
In all I would give it a solid 7/10.
I am excited that there is more material coming out because it means its popular and wanted.
Glad to hear you enjoyed it!
I haven't tried the game myself, I'm not too into fantasy, but it does look pretty interesting, and I always like to see a developer stick with a game.
