Finished it a few minutes ago. Random thoughts:
boss fight:
Absolutely terrible. If you've played it you know what I mean.
ending:
Bad. No real explanations. Just a few seconds of FMV and then voice overs in front of a black bakground.
chapter 4:
Too long. 4 dungeons was too much. The dungeons themselves were of very high quality though. Just too many of them.
It's worth noting that the fans demanded a big final dungeon. Now they got it and they're still unhappy.
chapter 3:
Good. Nice back and forth of story, dungeons and fighting stuff in the world. Pure action, but that's okay for one chapter I think. Maybe some players made the mistake to explore the whole volcano at once. It's more fun if you teleport back to the camps, talk to people and spend some learning points.
chapter 2:
Very good exploration but clearly not enough quests. The world is great, but story and quests too thin.
chapter 1:
Good but too slow. Not enough quests at the same time.
characters:
Better than expected. Maybe not Gothic and NotR level, but clearly better than in G3.
combat:
Good. It works and it's fun.
UI:
Good. People who complain about it (on PC) should return their gamer card.
World design:
Superb. PB is better than any other developer at creating breathing worlds.
Story:
Average. PB should hire somebody to write an interesting story.
Dialogs:
Very good, although sometimes a bit long. I like the sense of humor in the English version.
