This game is a great combination of hack and slash combat, rich story elements, character progression and development, RPG-like side stories, and minigames and side content. While I recommend this game to everyone, I know it's not for everyone. There is mature content throughout the game, such as swearing, violence, blood, and more.
I have not played the Director's Cut yet, but I do plan to start and I will be posting another review on the differences between the two. Look forward to it!
