Bound by Flame

An usual western action rpg.

Boring story but at least there are 2 well defined paths and companions you can ****, kinda Dragon Age copy&paste.

The combat as always is real time button mashing, there are 3 different play styles with their own skill tree to choose from and which can be switched at any time, warrior, mage and rogue. I never found any reason to switch between them therefore I beat the entire game as a rogue and just 2 buttons: attack and dodge.



Customization also includes a few different armors and weapons which can be improved with materials found by exploring or killing monsters, I maybe changed my equipment 3 times on the entire game.

There are like 3 nice looking scenarios (swamp, iceland and castle), not very big and with a lot of backtracking, specially if you intend to complete the side quests.



I think the game does nothing very wrong and is actually fun, it just too short and lacks depth. It took me like 9 hours to beat the game with many side quests done, companions banged and the rogue skill tree completed.

Did I like it? I had (short) fun
I think you will like it if you:
- Want a simple action rpg.
- Your PS4 is starving. (my case)

I rate my experience with a 5.5 out of 10.
