The reviewers were really on hate-mode for this game. I'm no reviewer, but I have a lot of FUN playing this game. FUN = the reason games are made. Some of the reviewers' points were valid: "invisible walls, dodgy camera angles, linear level design, monsters "sprouting" from the ground for no good reason, lack of multiplayer..." those are my pet peeves with the game :P

Anyone finished the game on brutal mode from start to finish? In brutal mode you don't get colour-coded warnings to dodge or parry, so you need to judge from the creature animations how they will attack next. I'm only on the highland fortress stages now
