The game is holding a free weekend so you can try before you buy. Personally I think it's a great game, though it does have a steep learning curve, once you know what your doing its really fun to play.
In addition, they currently have a new expansion coming out on the 15th of november, you need the original game to play it. http://store.steampowered.com/app/241280/
- Deep melee combat system provides players with a huge range of responsive combat options
- Adjust your attacks and blocks in real time with the mouse for precise and full control of the action
- Wield an arsenal of up to 60 brutal weapons ranging from broad swords and battle axes to longbows and javelins
- Dynamic objective system brings team tactics and strategy to the forefront as players batter down gates, raid villages and assassinate enemy royalty to achieve victory.
- Use a variety of siege weapons ranging from catapults, boiling oil, ballista, battering rams and more
- Vast, lush environments that transport the player to a gritty and immersive medieval world.
Offline play options that allow players to gain familiarity with the controls and gameplay before being thrust into the action.
In my opinion the game gets pretty tedious pretty quickly
