    This is a very unique game and i never tire of it. The remaster did wonders for it.
    Pros:
    Musical numbers
    Cross-buy
    Great comedic story
    Unique game play as a bard summoning a team of minions
    Snarky or nice "morality system" to interact with NPCs has real impact on the game.

    Cons:
    A few glitched trophies
