is this game good or not?

[LABOBO]

I read reviews and many people say this game is great
and I see award badges on store page which can guarantee something.

but some(I'd say many) people also say dont buy it, refund it or even pirate it.
Now, I'm confused if this game is good or not

If you like Games with great storytelling, writing, atmosphere and immersion, decisions that really matter, much much dialogue, dark humor, great characters and perfect voice acting, then buy it!

If you play RPGs mostly for the fights and action gameplay, look somewhere else. Almost everything in this game happens in the dialogue.

This is easily one of the best games I have ever played. However, Darkside2010 brings a good point which is if you are looking for action gameplay you wont find it here. The beauty of this game is the dialogue and the storytelling.

It is amazing and every reviewer is correct. But some shareholders or whatever kicked off the original creators of the setting in some very sketchy legal coup of the studio, and are trying to milk the game dry of all its potential value in an act of pure cynical corporatism, which you shouldn't reward with your money.

So yoink it instead, because every glowing review is correct, but the writers of the setting won't get a dime either way for now.

I wholeheartedly agree with these other replies. It's not for everyone, but I certainly love it for its outrageous storytelling and witty banter.

yeah and if it does click with you you'll probably end up buying merch to support the artists in any case. piracy is the way to go for the game at this point I think, the right people already mostly got the high of success sales wise.

If you're scared, don't spend a few dollars on one of the best games of the century. And if you're not afraid, then get ready to immerse yourself in an amazing story, good gameplay and AMAZING MUSIC.

Game is absolutely gold. But if you care for the context, go here.

+1 twice. fantastic game, but as far as paying ZA/UM for it...

[Bubble]

pirate it!!!

[El Breado]

Well, it's a great game but the core devs were thrown under a bus by the shareholders so Idk if you should support it.

[dot]

If you can try it for free, then try it. No need to ask anyone.
Just pay for what you think is worth paying, don`t pay based of the opinion of anyone but yourself.
There`s the controversy about the shareholders or publishers i don`t know. All I`ve seen comes from journalism and I don`t trust journalism of any kind. Maybe take that in mind or don`t. It could be or could not be, anyway would be business as usual.

This game is incredible. BUT. Before you buy it, know this:

About a year ago, the studio that created this game was hijacked by soulless corporate money men, and the artists that spent a decade actually making the game were forced out of the company.

Those artists are all openly recommending that you pirate this game rather than buy it, because every penny you spend on the game is just lining the pockets of thieves.

Of course I'd never personally advocate for piracy on a game's Steam Page, because I'm sure it's against Steam's rules...I'm just relaying what the developers have said to do, which is, again, to pirate this game .

Again, just paraphrasing the devs.

well, I bought this game two ago and just had to a chance to play.
.
after 40 mins of playing ... I went nowhere but karaoke stand and have no idea what to do [and already did] So, I refunded..

since my English is not my native
I've played game with much dialogue like Divinity original sin 2 and enjoyed so much.
I thought there wouldn't be a problem for me to play this game but I was wrong
this language in this game is another level [for me]
.
sorry guys and thanks for your commend
appreciated.

This game is in its own category, and a total masterpiece.

It's the closest experience to playing D&D with a great Dungeon Master. There's no wrong answer/direction, just a flexible system that carries you forward, pulling you deeper into the world

The vertical layout of the dialogue, like texting your phone, makes everything digestible, keeping your immersed.

The game is freaking hilarious, on top of having an intriguing world with compelling characters.

Edit, just saw your last message. You really should have given this the full two hours before the refund window closed.

If english if difficult for you, just pull up a youtube walkthrough next time.

Thinking back on when I played it, I recall needeing a few hours to really appreciate it. I'm pretty sure I stopped for a little bit, getting stuck on a part where there's a protest and not knowing what to do/where to go. When I came back to it, I played it almost non stop until the end.
