I've purchased and played this game based on recommendations of others. They were correct on everything they said and I liked all those things. However, I cannot recommend this game at this moment. It needs a massive dose of QoL and further development of skills and weapons perks. Let me explain.

QoL

This game may be complete but it feels like it just entered early access. You get stuck on everything. Sometimes, invisible things. Traveling is so janky that I eventually hate exploring. That's half the game.

The dialogue tones, volumes, delay timing etc... are all over the place. I don't expect a low budget indy game like this to have good voice actors or even quality. But the it's so inconsistent that I have to complain about it. The worst part is the delay before the speech. I don't even know if it has an audio sometimes because it would take so long. After the first couple hours, I find myself just skipping all dialogue because it is so annoying.

The UI for inventory is not very intuitive sometimes. It's fine the way it's set up, it's just all the little things. For example, when you sell stuff to merchants. You click the item over but it doesn't remove it from your inventory until you click sell.

Crafting/cooking - I feel like a lot of things does nothing. Why do we need to have crafting kits? Ingredients themselves are not enough? Not just crafting kits but crafting kits of each category and tier. It's unnecessary cumbersome.

Combat - combat just kind of start. There is no way to have an advantage. There are no "oomph" for big attacks. The skills don't differentiate enough. After a few hours, I basically just go for big damage. The only other thing that matters is something to delay the enemies's turns but that's not really important. It's faster to just focus damage and kill as fast as possible.

Attributes and stats - This needs some adjustments because some of them feels useless. For example, there's no point in investing in armor. I tried putting together a character with massive armor and it subtracted less than 10% of physical damage. That's why it's better just to focus on damage and HP. Leveling up doesn't feel much impact. You get 5 attribute points per level when gears give you exponentially more. This is the only game I've played where stamina is to increased HP while strength increases initiative. I'm so confused. I don't mind devs trying something different but it still has to make sense.

Like I said, QoL is much needed before you can enjoy the rest of the game.

The skill tree is very limited. From the trailer, I was expecting a much deeper skill tree from the promise of customization.

The weapons and armor needs to differentiate itself besides just having a different set of stats and attributes. The perks feels like it's nonexistent.
