Plays like Fallout 4 meets Witcher 3, with a big world to explore, interesting factions and world, and a jetpack. The difficulty makes it a fun kind of challenging. It's pretty well optimized too. From the moment you reach the first town, you can feel the absolute pure RPG SOVL radiating from this game. It's from the studio behind timeless genre standards Gothic I, II, and Risen. There's a character interaction somewhere in this game where the playable character quips to an NPC during dialogue, that, and i'm gonna paraphrase here - "let me guess, there's an upper level to the city, and I'm(sic) not allowed?", it hit like a "he said the line" nostalgia reference joke vibe that really drives home that these guys still got it. Definitely worth a try.

Janky. VA is definitely hit or miss. Punishing early on. However, if you liked the OG Gothic games, this fits the bill. A fun, open world, RPG with the ability to do almost anything. I've only played 7 hours so far, so take this with a grain of salt. I will be updating this once I've gotten further in the game.

Have you thought about joining a faction?

Game manages to seem so much older than released in 2017, could have sworn I was playing something from 2009. Writing was just also so bloody horrible
