I think my biggest problem with the story or lack of is the fact it feels like there is part of it in the game but other parts (where there should be a cut scene or better narrative) seem to feel like they've been cut/removed. The result is a story that you can't really follow or understand (even with the grimoire) but that you know is there somewhere. It's all a bit sporadic and senseless? + the game play is epic which means you kinda expect an incredible story to make the gameplay even better by meaning a little bit more.
