It was just released. Grab it here.
My initial impression after 30 minutes of play: Overall good.
Things I like:
Zooooooom!!!
Combining the plates like inventory and equipment.
Story so far. I'm not destined to save the universe. Heck, I don't even know if I'm destined to escape this hellish prison!
The Death Knight. I have a party!
Music is just as good as the first game.
Heath regenerates. Thank heavens, since you need food to rest.
Your Death Knight and you gain experience simultaneously. It doesn't look like it's split. Level up is handled well. Look at all of those skills!
Things that grated on my nerves:
Why can't I pick more than one party member at once?! Gragh! [Note to self: Read whatever readme came with the demo.] EDIT: Okay, you can select them both. You just don't do it in a normal way.
The Death Knight's voice. How about a little emotion? If I were him, I'd be pissed.
Looks like you are now restricted to the skill tree you pick at character generation. Bummer. EDIT: Correction, those skills are opened up via skill books and teachers. _________________ Freeeeeeedom! Thank heavens it's summer!
What do I have to show for my hard work? A piece of paper! Wee!
