The art is just outstanding. Graphics, animations, voice acting, dialogue, story, sound effects and music fit together so perfectly that I’m willing to say to never have seen those elements ever composed so magnificently in a game.
The moment I entered the menu for the first time I somehow knew how much artistical effort was put into this piece.

Solely the gameplay itself could have been a bit more polished. The combat and traveling sequences could have been less automatized. I’d maybe even say that the occasional moments of frustration only occured due to my lack of concentration, because it didn’t really challenge me (… the moment I finally figured out how to use my parry button effectively – boy did those corrupted wipe the floor with me before that).

For me however the ending managed to be satisfying and yet build up anticipation for the sequel. I’d really like to know what actually happened to the Prince and “Why?” ;)
