This game would have been fantastic if it weren't for some things that made me frustrated.
First I'll start with the good things. The graphics and the artwork were great, as well as the sound and voice-overs. I really loved the snowy landscape and there was a character that scared the hell out of me, which I enjoy in games.
There are a lot of cutscenes where you get told about the backstory and information about every creature you meet in the game.
The HOS are silhouettes and lists, both interactive and the mini games are mostly of the easy kind.
There's a jumpable map that shows the available tasks. The collectables are owls and scrolls. Together with the bonus chapter, it took me about 6 hours to finish.

My issues with this game:
I was playing a mini game where I had to hit bad guys with a hammer when they popped up and suddenly my cursor became invisible. When I finally managed to close the game and try again, I had to skip the mini game because most of the time the hammer didn't work.
The next thing is the hint. There weren't any tasks on the map and the hint said: "There's nothing to do here right now", so I had to wander around at random. I could have done that for hours if it weren't for some luck. Another thing with the hint is that it shows things that aren't possible to do yet. Maybe these things aren't the end of the world, but it can make me tear my hair out, kinda.
Despite from that, this is a wonderful game and I will defenitely play it again.
I recommend this game to those who love the medieval, gargoyles, banshees, griffins, hydras...
