Rise of the Argonauts - Review @ GPM

Next up with a review of Rise of the Argonauts is Gameplay Monthly.  Their rating is B- and here's a snip:

However, the game biggest flaws are in its main focuses: the combat and the RPG aspects. Oversimplified, the combat becomes repetitive after a while, and the many powers you can acquire don’t change that. While I didn’t miss it, some may don’t like the fact you cannot control your allies, and since their A.I. isn’t that much brilliant, you will be doing the combat almost on your own. Also, if you’re expecting a dialogue tree that affects the storyline as in Mass Effect, Knights of the Old Republic, etc. you will be disappointed, since your choices rarely will affect anything, and just express your attitude (bitter, lawful, etc.). As commented above, your dialogue choices will also give you points in the Aspect System, though not much as the Deeds.
