Lately, actually spending money on games has been very rare for me, but the writing in this one made me buy the game after finishing the demo just to experience more of it. Even the tailor shop talk being all Greek to me didn't detract too much from the experience. Overall, I don't regret buying it and would recommend it.
However, I felt that the music choice for scenes involving Aquila's reappearance was unfitting. I suppose the theme is meant to be a leitmotif for them, and works fine as one; but when paired with suspenseful scenes of Sinbad encountering his past tormentor and locking up with fear, it's more silly than scary. Also, I discovered the "the part of the hero to be played by the shadow" option completely by accident, as I'd been searching for new endings by loading prior saves; some kind of indicator for its existence would probably help other players with this issue.
