A pilgrimage to Canterbury, set in the Canterbury Tales world, I thought some great story telling would be involved. I've played a few other choice of games through before this particular COG game and had high expectations.Although, I can recommend the game as it does have a lot of pluses, like some character development and some choices that do matter, I was left wishing the game had a little more meat to it and had lasted longer. Some of the storylines you go down seem to wash out very quickly. I also have to say it wasn't always very easy to guess as to what choices affected which of your stats. Some of them were down right confusing and I was shocked to see which of my stats went up or down with the choices I made.Most of the achievements for the game are pretty easy and take very little as far as total play-throughs to get them. However, two of them can be difficult. In fact I have done 7 or 8 playthroughs alone now trying to get the final achievement, but as mentioned above it's difficult when some of the choices you make don't seem to affect the stats in the way you think they will.If I could give this game a MEH on the ratings I probably would. But, the game does have it's moments so I will give it a 7\/10. I can't penalize the game totally for my wishes of it to be deeper and more of it..
