The combat feels bad. very weird button imput buffering for things like rolling, you feel like you are on ice skates with attacks that fling you in directions or have insanely long recovery times. This, plus having to manage food recovery timers, and the parry system being a joke can make for a very poor game loop. I've had major performance issues with this game sense boot up no matter what I tried, I will get frame drops down to the 15's in some sections, and 144 in others (this is on a 4090 on max performance mode.) I do like that i can buy a house and decorate it, i love the LITE crafting idea to get better gear and upgrades, and the art direction is unique and original. In short, its a pretty game too look at and it has great ideas, but the overall gameplay loop is lacking big time with major optimization issues. I would recommend waiting until the full release to see if these problems are addressed. If they could really tighten up the combat this game would go up 2 or even 3 points, its that bad. 5/10.

I'd say in it's current state it is still worth it knowing the rest is coming, beating all the current story content took me about 15 hours and I've not even tackled the kinda roguelike dungeon thing! The end of the month though a major update is coming which is set to double the size of the game so I'd say it's gonna become even more worth it but who knows, maybe the update will ruin everything? I'll update my review when I remember after trying the new stuff.

Schön schwer, atmosphärisch und mit viel Liebe zu Details gemacht. Dass Moonstudios fantastische Spiele macht ist ja bekannt und auch hier werden sie ihrem Ruf wieder gerecht
