It's a fantastic game. It has a very "Dark Souls" vibe to the world (especially the DLC area Bitterblack Isle, which is phenomenal) and the combat is awesome with plenty of depth.

I put over 175 hours into the game a couple years ago getting 100% and I highly recommend it. Plus it's on sale on Steam right now for like $9, which is absolutely more than worth it.

I only have 1 little bit of advice, and it's something that kinda got me hung up at first and could make it a frustrating experience if you're not aware. The game is genuinely intended to be played through multiple times with the same character. The way NG+ works is a legitimate game design that makes each successive playthrough genuinely different and it gets more and more rewarding as you complete loops. Your first time through, different regions of the map are just going to completely wreck your face. But as you complete loops of the story, you'll bring your character's power and your own experience through to the next run and you'll be able to pretty organically explore more and more of the world map each time, being able to tackle new side quests that were just too difficult before, etc. Just remember that if you're told to go into an area and when you get there some random scrub enemy basically insta-kills you, you are probably not meant to complete that sidequest this playthrough. Try coming back next time around and you'll probably have a better time.
