This game was excellent when it came out, and still so when I picked it up years after, however, now it's really showing its age. While it does have good writing and a rich, detailed setting, it has many issues with how it presents it and how it handles information. I think we are commonly given far too little information to work with to make informed decisions (especially in the begining), and the way those decisions are framed is incredibly odd given what I now know as an avid years long fan.

Decent military fantasy story. Good if you like tactical gameplay and well-written battle scenes, but I found it lacking in emotional depth and ability to build relationships between the characters. There's a lot of interesting world building but so far not much heart. Still enjoyable enough that I bought the sequel and look forward to seeing how it will continue.

Boy, oh boy, do I love this game. The world had a phenomenal amount of depth and building and I felt incredibly immersed. Every single one of my decisions seemed to hold actual weight. I felt genuine anxiety over whether or not I'd made a good choice or not - and that is just some glorious writing. I also ended up restarting far too many times in hope of sparing the lives of my fictional soldiers. I got way too attached. You also can choose if you want to be a total sociopath or not! It's great.
