If you were on the fence about getting the game, take a look at our review roundup to see how the game fared.<\/p>\n
Bound by Flame is currently sitting on 52 on Metacritic <\/a>for PC.<\/p>\n A skilled player doing no sidequests and blowing through dialogue can complete the game in about 10-12 hours, but this is sacrificing a ton of content both in the quest, exploration, and relationship-building categories. When you invest the time to master the challenging combat and explore the world, Bound by Flame is a solid romp with rewarding tactical action supported by rewarding boss battles and plenty of ways to see your choices reflected in the world around you.<\/p>\n If you go into Bound by Flame hoping to play a choice-laden game where every selection you make slowly shapes the world around you, you\u2019ll be greatly disappointed. While you do get some say in how things play out, the outcome will no doubt be the same and your decisions don\u2019t seem that important in the overall development of the story. It\u2019s the rapid-fire decisions made mid-battle and the rich customization options at your disposal that truly let you make the game your own. You do have a demon on your side, after all.<\/p>\nGameInformer <\/a>– 8\/10 (PC)<\/h3>\n
