What players say

Players praise the open-ended quests with meaningful choices, but note the DX version adds little over the original besides co-op and color. Combat is simple and fun at first but grows repetitive. Some are frustrated by hidden items with no hints and the lack of a world map. The main story is short and leaves some questions unanswered.
