this game is great. so many QoL features, fast progression, and easy to hit end game. grinding is easy except for few things that are nowhere near needed for achieving best results. time gated content can be an issue but its a minor annoyance amongst the pool of strengths this game offers

All of that is great.

i cant stop playing this help

you're missing out if you aren't playing this game

Neutral review, not thumbs down

It starts out great, and the writing, voice acting, world building is all amazing

But combat is a huge part of this game and it is so bad. It is boring, slow, and way too RNG based. It requires rests which interfere with how the story should feel like progressing. I don't want to sleep after two or three fights just to use some spells. I shouldn't say 'oh yet another ambush. time to reload an earlier save'. There are ways to overcome this ofc but those methods make the game EVEN more boring and slow-paced. It's a lose-lose situation.

Combat is exciting early on but the repeated nature of it and the slow and unchanging nature of it makes it really difficult to finish the game to the end. Halfway through, I started to find combat more annoying than fun. I started to be irked by all the pauses in my quests and resource micro management to treat injuries.

To make it worse, it even has trial and error necessity. I call ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ on any player who said they didnt rely on saving every minute and reloading them when they step into an ambush or failing a skill check roll from time to time. it's way too reliant on it. When you do decide to tough it out and take the L for a failed skill check, it feels bummed out because you feel like you missed out an important lore, so much so that it becomes a nagging feeling that you eventually cave in to not do that in the future.

However, it is still a beautiful polished and thrilling (non combat parts) adventure game so I give it a neutral review if only steam could let me.

it's charming and fun
but it soon gets boring and repetitive fast. it's toooo slow to move around

ashen one, your p is reacting

wonderful graphics, music, atmosphere, gameplay.

my only gripe is that devs should add a peaceful mode where you can manually choose what blueprints to unlock instead of them being rng. you can get close to this in training mode but it's not the same.

also the buildings really look alike... I hope they add a building overlay mode much like resource overlay mode.

I'd like to have the options to have all races in training mode.

Secret word: Chaos

If you are wondering why everyones writing their secret word or whatever its because the game asks you to.

surprised at how accurate it is. I suspect only 20% of the questions actually matter. You get asked a bunch of questions and the game connects the data and picks the most matching archetype of the player.

Yea i should get going. and that includes you fellow chaos people.
