There are a lot of information about the game on its store page, including a free demo you could try and form an opinion based on first-hand experience. ;)

If you actually read those bad reviews Its all about Eula and Virus

Lets put it this way from someone with a low frustration tolerance. It's the sort of game that makes you throw the controller just to pick it up 5 minutes later and go again.
The game is fantastic.

Now and than the level-design is questionable, but for the most part it is ok.
But balance does not exist. There seems to be no noticable difference between wearing cloth armor (like 1 armor each piece) and full plate (like 20 armor each piece). In cloth you are faster and evade/roll further than in plate armor, on the other hand plate does not mitigate more incoming damage... the basic (first) enemy you encounter needs about 5 hits to kill you either in cloth or plate armor. Weapons do not scale properly... like you start with 10 damage and pretty soon the enemie have 300-500 hitpoints. And later you get a 12 damage sword and so far havent found anything btter, and with a ton of skilling strength I raised it to 15, which is still not enough. Oh and, of course, magic scales way better, does decent damage. Merchants do not replenish their stock, so when you purchased those 10 lockpicks you are done and you only rely on drop for that point on. Overall, the game is ok, but the frustration levels are quite high. Btw I do not think the demo is going to help... I loved the demo, but its everything that comes after it, that starts to be frustrating.

It is fine for the price. Some interesting stuff with multi-classing but is a bit more restricted than I hoped. Bosses are just ok. Platforming and fall damage are easily the worst part of the game. Story is there. Combat could be a bit meatier sfx don't carry their weight.

There is a feeling of progresion?
Game is amazing
Game's pretty good! Most of the negative reviews are outrage farming about the EULA (which the devs have already adressed by making the privacy parts optional if you so choose.), so if you account only reviews that talk about the actual gameplay, it's got a pretty decent score.

My general take is that it's a very enjoyable exploration game 95% of the time, the other 5% being quite a bit frustrating, but not enough to tarnish the whole thing.
Combat is solid if lacking a little bit of umph when it comes to the impact of your attacks, but the enemy variety is solid and well designed.

Build selection and character customisation is honeslty the highlight, it's extremely free and rewarding, and the game lets your respec pretty generously in case you want to experiment. You can even modify your spells to have them behave in different ways, and all of the skill trees have synergy across each other making multi'class'ing pretty rewarding.

Story itself is neat even if the dialogue is not the best, but that's not super my wheelhouse so I'll reserve judgement on that.
Im having BLAST Playing the game. I haven't encountered any bugs either. The Voice acting is top notch and also the music as well.

Please be careful the game is unfinished and there is a massive issue with people myself included losing several hours of progress and its an issue plauging ps5 Xbox and PC. Plwase DO NOT BUY. i wasted over 50 dollars for deluxe version and bc I played so long I can't get refund. The dev on steam and reddit is ignoring me but yeah. I lost 8 hours on my first save. People lost up to 25 hours total

it's posible lose a cloud save? I already spend 10 hours on the game without having issues with that XD
After 75 hours of hell I cannot recommend this game until it is properly balanced for all classes.
