This game as a truly original plot that is fun to explore. Unfortunately the gameplay is tedious at best and completely destroys all story tension.
My example is a mission where natives want to plant new trees in an area of the forest that has been cleared. You will travel back and forth from the clearing to the capital in search of ownership deeds no less than 4 times.
90% of this game is spent traveling from one location to another. The combat system is good, but unless you have your difficulty settings turned up the fights usually only last around 15 seconds with no real challenge to them. I played the entire game without my health ever dropping below 50%.
This is an extraordinarily original plot. But gameplay lacks intensity to carry the weight of the story.
