"Bound By Flame was never a game on my radar. It didn’t appeal to me and with the multitude of other games coming out this month; I can’t say I was chomping at the bits for this game to hit store shelves. This coupled with the iffy reviews it was getting made me a bit wary about putting out the cash for Spiders’ newest product. To put it simply though, Bound By Flame has left me pleasantly surprised in its opening hours."
The Humble Focus Entertainment Legends and Visions Bundle just launched today. It includes seven different games on multiple operating systems that you can redeem and play on Steam. As always, a portion of proceeds from the bundle supports charity.

I'm watching streams on PS4, and this game looks interesting, it's an option at the moment for the people who want to play a rpg.
It's a good choice while you are waiting for Dragon Age, Persona 5, Project X, Diablo 3 for PS4, and the list goes on.
Floaty combat, poor hit detection, voice acting being less than stellar, story isn't a great point either. Maybe they had high hopes for this game, but ultimately it failed to deliver.
At least there are other games releasing this year.
I kind of had no expectation for this and ended up really enjoying it. I was pleasantly suprised by the quality of voice acting, graphics, physics, combat, story ( A slight rip off of GOT's white walker story arc ) and the upgrades, crafting, cool and varied styles of armour and weapon/armour attachments are pretty sweet.
I'm enjoying the decision making so far also, having the "Demon" inside your head offering an insight into peoples true motives is interesting, especially when you don't know if the demon is trustworthy itself.
So yes it does well in every aspect however there's nothing that makes it stand above the other games like it, it takes features we enjoy from a lot of similar games and does it almost as well. Perfectly enjoyable game though if you enjoy a western rpg.
