I'll start by saying this; I absolutely love this game.
I would describe it as somewhat of a Breath of the wild with Darksouls, WoW classic and Magicka influences.

Having said that, I'll recognize that it can deter many players from getting the full experience if they are not willing to spend some good hours into it and get to know the awesome mechanics and really rewarding gameplay.
I started my experience by dying a lot and not understanding how to properly engage in fights or preserve my stamina, which led to some frustration until I managed to get some mana. After that I decided to use all of the tools the game gave me to survive, either new abilities, potions, tripwire traps or simply being more careful when approaching any creature. after that it was only smooth sailing from there on out.
The game is slow at the beginning but once it picks up it is really worth it. It truly makes you feel like you're an adventurer, but not by story or character development, but by making you want to visit new places, you'll never feel you're in the wrong place because you'll always find some interesting dungeon or miniboss to fight.
the graphics are pretty although nothing spectacular, but when they want to, they can be breathtaking. Beautiful landscapes with awesome colors and neat ideas. Creatures are very distinct with awesome designs and some fun ways to engage in combat, which makes it really refreshing.
The magic system is deep and most of all, really fun to use. And I love the risk/reward aspect of it all, you'll always have to sacrifice something to make the best build you want, which makes you invest in what your character becomes.

All in all I'd say that this game is not for everyone, but if you want a wonderful new experience, and you're willing to engage with the game and it's survival mechanics, this game will give you countless hours of good fun.
I really hope more people get to play this (not flawless) masterpiece.
