Just finished this game today, I think its pretty good but has some horrible balancing issues. I played the game on hard mode, and early in the game it was hard enough that I had to do sidequests and some character building just to get by but then once you get like a quarter of the way through, your gear gets good enough that even on hard mode you start to feel overpowered. At this point I quit doing sidequests and just progressed the story and had so many minor health potions that I never once used a greater health potion. I didnt try to buy the best armor or weapons, just went through on what I found in chests and it didnt matter. Boss battles here and there took a few tries but for the most part I didnt have any trouble. I didnt try to upgrade my gear to the best or anything (even though I had a pretty badass hammer) and it was still fine. The final boss was probably the most disappointing joke of a final boss ive ever fought, easier than Gadflow by far (which was the hardest fight).
The rest of the game was A+ though, the story, graphics, music, atmosphere was all awesome, I just wish they put more effort into balancing your character in regards to the enemies. I cant even imagine how easy the other difficulties are.
