It's free for PSPlus user, but I want to know if the game is good.I have a 3 months subscription and it is almost expired, so I want to know if I must download those 14 GB o if this is another common rpg.

I really enjoyed it. It's quite similar to Skyrim, IMO. The story was written by R.A. Salvatore and although it's not by any stretch of the imagination an in-depth RPG, there are some good story elements there. It's pretty widely considered an average actiony RPG though, so take that into consideration. I paid around 15 bucks for the game and its DLC and thought it was well worth the purchase.

I rented it and when I played I said to myself,"This is the game Dragon Age 2 tried to be and failed"

As to the game itself, its combat is realtime with combos similar to God of War, Devil May Cry, and Ninja Gaiden Xbox.

And I am not spoiling the story but its writer is the same guy who wrote Morrowind which was good.

I thought Dragon Age 2 tried to be the "Dragon Age 2" and "failed". :P

The world is nice, the combat is good enough, melee is fun, magic is overpowered at the end.
Main quest is ok, gets interesting at the end. Sidequests are typical MMORPG sidequests i.e. boring and repetitive, and they're alot of it, you will find yourself wanting to just drive through the sidequests if you're the completionist type, otherwise you'd probably just skip them.

I'm interested in the game too but maps were corridors in demo and I'm not into the MMO genre, thus I wouldn't probably be completing sidequests. Does it mean that the game can be beat in 10-20 hours? The duration was grabbed from Howlongtobeat.com.

Bear in mind that if you allow your PS Plus subscription to expire, the games will expire. The expiry date on the games you download is set to the end of your current subscription, and is extended as and when you renew your subscription.

I really liked this also. Nice graphics, interesting enough story, and for me one word: Chakrums!

Ah yes, my mage's main weapon.

I see. Thanks.

Nice for the first 15 hours or so. After that you realize, that every next area is the same. Same boring quests, boring fights, boring dungeons. I just got bored after a while. However it is fun to play before you get bored, and combat system is interesting with all that combos 'n shit.

Yup that's why i don't have psplus. People say you get stuff for free but in reality you rent it....

On topic it's a great game, bit easy bit too much mmorpg but easy can be skipped by playing on hard and if you skip 2/3 of the sidequests it feel less like an mmo. Still a big game though (even without the sidequest) but that's a good thing.
