(This is substantially the content of my review, which is still under validation).
The game seems nice and pleasant, I played it for few hours, until the 1st battle in the temple (not counting the tutorial battle).
I would like to go further, but ...
It is very very slow and unresponsive. While this is not a big deal while exploring, it makes combat unpleasant and way too long.
This is not due to graphics settings, I reduced them to minimal, even the resolution in 1024x768, to no avail combat is still sluggish. I also tried to set compatibility mode in windows xp and 7, I tried windowed mode ...
My computer can run Witcher 3 and Ashes of the Singularity (to name but a few) at full graphics, and I just updated the drivers (25 april 2017 drivers for a game from 2013 should be ok, right ?)
I found an old post talking about memory size (3GB/2GB), but I will not change my system settings just for one game.
If anyone has another suggestion ...
This is not engaging for Expeditions Viking ...
Edit: I have seen a video from 2013 where everything is pleasently fluid. Not sure what's the problem. Not future proof code maybe ?
Edit2: made other trials, none worked:
* verify files from Gog galaxy
* uninstalled, and re-installed from the downloaded setup.exe (on gog website) ...
* installed in the standard "Program Files (x86)", although on my D drive (not C).
Edit3: tried with older drivers as the newer ones have issues with some (old) games, but no chance.
