So yeah, I was a little weary of this game at first, heard a mixture of different things, such as how great it was, and then other critics saying it wasn't what they were expecting and a little shallow. I've been playing the game around 20 hours or more now, and i have to say I love it. So ok, maybe the facial expressions aren't top and the body animations aren't so 'cricket' as one should say, but apart from that everything else is just a treat to play.

The music is just another thing entirely! It's very well composed and utterly beautiful, and I can't get enough of it. I didn't rush to rip this music onto my computer at first but after an hour or so of listening to it while running around the outskirts of Vizima I just had to do it asap.

So at the moment i'm in the Fields, not far from Murky Waters, and what a place. The landscapes are getting more and more interesting by the minute. I hadn't expected the game to be like this no, but it's alot better than what I was hoping it to be, I just hope there are alot more environments to explore before the game ends!

One thing though, is that the combat system isn't all too great, but at the moment I am enjoying making use of the signs, so that adds to the mixture and makes the combat pretty unique, but we'll see.
