Nightingale (FULL GAME but with notes on DEMO)
This game was one I was very excited for, but the mix of bad reviews with my lack of funds at the time kept me at bay until this demo game out.

To start, some notes on the demo.
One. Main. Note.
Do NOT build an epic massive home in one sitting, fill all your chests with loot, and then log off.
All of it, and I do mean ALL of it will be gone, at least as of the time of making this review.
This alone almost prevented me from getting the game.

Onto the full game.

I just think its really neat. It's not 'blow you away' good, but it's early access, obviously it's going to be a bit of a mess. But overall? It's just plain fun, good and simple. Fun enough that I was willing to rebuild my home not once, but TWICE to give it another chance.

Pros
-Very interesting character creator, didn't mess with the face sliders much as all cause I never trust them/always mess them up, but was a big fan of a lot of the features.
-Great world building
-Interesting puzzles, I've not done many of them yet, but some are simple, and others are quite a bit harder (at least when you have no idea how to approach it.
-Can recruit people to work your estate/fight with you.
-On the second to lowest difficulty level at least; IF YOU DIE YOU DON'T LOSE YOU'RE ITEMS! Your items just lose some durability if I am remembering correctly.
-Similarly, you can teleport from anywhere back to your home, with all items intact.

Cons
-Sometimes there's just that one hole in your home you can't cover properly without using an entire wall.
-Tutorials are often don't show up, or are just bad/nonexistent. However to be fair, me gallivanting where I don't belong yet may play a role in that.
-If you send someone to work on your estate, they can no longer be a follower, as far as I've seen at least.
-Graphics can get a bit wonky sometimes.

Eh? (pro/con depending on your personal opinion)
-You can pick your ancestors going really far back? Parents, Grandparents, Great Grandparents. And then you can use a slider to decide where you got your features. Not bad just...odd?
-Enemy AI not awesome, they either all swarm you at once, or just stand and let you murder them from a distance. If you like swarming or alternatively easy mob farming, works great haha.

Over all, it's a fun game that needs more work, but it's literally in early access, I don't know why people seem so upset considering that, unless I'm missing something.
