I must say I think the review is pretty spot on to my experience, apart from the fact I enjoyed the story and the quests. But I'm in total agreement in regards to the awful balancing which makes it impossible to build broken characters (when all stats have value for all characters no stats have any value) and no class stands out neither as bad nor good.
I enjoyed much of the game, but to me it failed on character building and combat (and both those are two sides of the same coin, mechanics). I'm hoping they will drop the overambitious "balancing" in the second installment, it's a single player game and doesn't need it. Much more fun to be forced to experiment to build a good party than the "anything goes" of PoE.
