- Game seems easy, so it may be not so good for those seeking challenge. There is 1 bottleneck, 3 battles early on that are very though to do (no-loss), but you can easily brute force them (nothing like spider in WoTN) and past that point you won't have any problems

- Some skills seems ridiculously overpowered, there is certain need of balance tweaks

- Excellent pacing, you won't be spending much time on the same island grinding

- Can't seem to find spells early on. Might be a problem for vampire (mage class) play-through.

- Fun to do quests, although there are still some boring ones (like bringing stuff all over other islands), those are definitely in minority

- Class only skill tree talents are very powerful, and encourage trying other classes after you are done with the game ( I'm already thinking of next play through and what I'll do)

- I'm around level 30 and haven't seen single big boss fight (like spider etc.), maybe there are none?

- Few new units, and few changes to the old ones. Especially in undead/demon department

I read on the Steam forum that the only boss (no rage) fight was the last battle of the game.
