Do you like min-maxing and grinding for the best gear, wandering around in the same area for actual hours, carefully planning out magic usage to stay in for as long as possible, having real consequences to death, and thousands of character and class combinations to make truly unique party compositions? If not, you will hate this game. If you do and you are like me, congratulations! You just found your new favorite game.

Pros:
☑Character and class customization lets you play most anything you can think of
☑Spell slots and no magic regen makes you think about when is the best time to use spells
☑High tier loot feels very rewarding, and is difficult to uncover until appropriate level
☑Dungeon design feels like it wants to pull you in and drown you, very nice oppressive atmosphere
☑All the art is fantastic and stylized perfectly for the feel of the game
Cons:
☒Item and level farming can get repetitive quickly as its chance is based on the level of enemies
☒Encounter rate varies from nothing for a whole minute to an enemy every step
☒Leapers.
☒Spells are extremely unbalanced, i.e. Magic Wall negating 6 hits and NAL Blast dealing absurd AOE damage
☒Story is practically non-existent, though the DLC/postgame quests are slightly more interesting
