I play Factorio when my day job doesn't let me program. It is the problem solving, mental provoking task I need. A game that I will go back to time and time again

This is one of the few games in the past 5 years I would gladly pay more than $60. The good news is that its not even half that price. My standard rule is $1/hour. I have over 30 hours and will probably get another 30 before I get burnt out before I inevitably go back and play it again in 6 months, with no doubt, even more content.

Story: The story is amazing. Hands down a good solid story. And in classic RPG dungeon crawler fashion, you get what you put in. You can walk around the area collecting evey bit of information about the world or you can power your way through it and waste money. (Guess which one I did).
Characters: I guess this could be lumped in with the story but they are interesting enough for a separate setion. 5 races 4 slots and the rare feature that when you are wondering around looking at things or looking for a fight, they are all there contributing to what's happening. Fighting you have 4 but searching you have more.
Graphics: Amazing. No other word. One specific level my literal thoughts were, "wow, that looks really, really, cool". I don't know what else you want. Check it out.
Gameplay: The difficulty is as hard as you want it. I im it for the story so im playing on a lower difficulty, but ramp that up and you will need to use its unique combat mechanics, intuitive class system and a bit of luck to make sure you don't wind up in the back alley without a kidney
Music: Actually really nice and peaceful. It's not Stellaris quality but still really nice
The Developer: What? yes, the dev. Asked question on Discord, 1 minute later a response. A nice change of pace from the 12 hour wait an Aussie normaly has cause developers don't subscribe to Australian time zones.

Alignment system: Whenever I play Fallout or Skyrim I cannot play the bad guy. I don't have it in me to screw over the NPC's who havent done anything to me. In Tower of Time, you are given choices throughout the game where it will anger and please certain people in your party and their alignment to you gives you buffs or debuffs in fights. You get them every now and again and they arent serious impediments to your fights, so members sitting in the corner sulking cause they didnt get the lollipop but enough to want to seriously consider the party cohesion. And as someone that doesn't like making people feel bad it breaks my hearts to have to annoy people.

Look, there aren't too many cons. Sometimes when exploring the frame rate drops a touch. The fights can be easy as well, but bump the difficulty up. Finding some chests if you missed them can be a pain but thats an issue in every game with chests.

If you want a good story with solid fighting mechanics and graphics, get this game.
