This is a perplexing game for me. I have played about 3 hours so far here are a few impressions.
1) It's ugly. They tried to go with a semi-cel shaded look for the game, but it doesn't look good. Especially when you start off in a dreary swamp, there are no bright colors to really set off the graphics. Everything looks simple and washed out.
2) It's HARD. I have it on normal and I can not get far at all. I am level 5, but am getting my ass kicked by Ghouls.
3) Mission overload. Even before you leave the small encampment, you are loaded with 5 or 6 missions and no real clear indiction of where each mission is on the map.
4) Nice loot. I am pretty happy with the loot and the types of drops you get.
5) Character creation/progression. Can't really comment on this yet, since I picked a troll and have him as a basic fighter. But basically, each character is a blank slate (aside from their racial dis/advantages) and you can pick what type of class you want when you level up. You can make one balanced in magic/combat ... or do a ranged/combat/magic .. etc. Or you can just key on one class type.
Overall I am pretty mixed on this game. There is enough for me to keep wanting to play it, but nothing as polished or nice as Titan Quest or even Sacred.
