“This game is definitely worth it, especially if it's on sale. I've replayed it 3 times and I still come back for more. If you really like this game I recommend checking out the other Expeditions game, especially…”

“Its a solid RPG similar to BG1 or 2 without random encounters. Keeps to the viking setting pretty well with exceptions for the purpose of making a fun game. Grab it on sale.”

The story is…”
