Just created this account specifically to voice my thoughts. Act 1 and 2 of this game? They are, without a doubt, the best gaming moments I've ever had. I genuinely can't remember the last time I was so wholly invested in a videogame�maybe more than a decade ago. For crafting such a spellbinding experience, a huge shoutout to Larian Studios.
However, I can't help but feel that Act 3 fell a bit short. As I approached the end of Act 2, I had the impression this game would stretch out into at least 5 equally engrossing acts. I do recognize that there are pressures to wrap up and release a game�no project can keep extending its timelines. But I can't help but feel a pang of regret over what feels like a missed chance to create a legendary game.
My sincere hope is that in a year or two, I'll revisit this game and be met with an experience that feels entirely refreshed and even more captivating.
To the team at Larian Studios: You've truly created a masterpiece. Acts 1 and 2 boast a level of quality, content, and uniqueness that eclipses many games in the market today. If only Acts 3 and perhaps 4 maintained that high bar. I'd willingly spend another 60 euros. After all, this game rekindled a sensation I feared I had lost over the years: the profound joy of immersing oneself in a virtual world, the urge to delve deeper, explore every nook and cranny, and bond with its characters.
Again, thank you.
I totally agree, I hope they get Act 3 completed within the next few months. Thank you for your honest, direct, and respectful review.
