Merrill's romance can seriously bug out, apparently. You can miss a whole lot of her side story because she jumps ahead in it, skipping over the quest set-up.

I find the repeating environments a little confusing because I mix them up. I forget if I've searched a particular corner or not on this particular visit. Minor but frustrating backtracking ensues. Retreading to discover new loot is a terrible idea.

Act I is a terrible and terribly long introduction to the game, the story doesn't actually get going till mid Act II.

Overall the game is fun if you play it on its own merits, but it can't help but leave you frustrated at the polished gem it could have been, instead of a rushed release. I don't mind the art style and found certain areas artistically beautiful.

I found the dialogue a bit of a mixed bag, its a surprisingly good fit for a creepy Rance Hawke play through.



Gahahaha!
