About

If you want an epic, action-heavy fantasy adventure drawn from Warcraft’s world, you’ll likely enjoy it; Not for you if you need tightly explained character motivations or a slower, more focused build like King Arthur: Legend of the Sword or Jack the Giant Slayer.

Pros: sweeping fantasy scale; even two-sided conflict; impressive world-building | Cons: rushed central thread; too many plot threads; hard to emotionally connect
