Original review at 65 hours:
I am far from finishing this masterpiece. The environment is so detailed, every time I find new things while revisiting old places. The music and the visual style are engaging. Just try it. Period.

And a bit later, at 268 hours:
Wow, at the time I wrote the original review, I had no idea... This game, sorry, this piece of art is about a really well designed world where

...everything is connected...

Wherever you go, you will find buildings, bosses, NPC-s and there is always a strong reason why they are there. I do not want to spoil too much, so you have to see that all for yourself.

And if you like

- discovering new places
- collecting useful items and rewards to survive and finally triumph
- fight numerous bosses and you do not give up if you lose first. They are hard sometimes, but at the end you will feel that you deserved every victory
- all of that in an artistic environment, with beautiful music (all hail to Cristopher Larkin)
- also, if happy ending in a game is not a mandatory element for you - this world is sometimes cruel

then this is definitely your game.

Not to mention the thousands of hours of content on Youtube and Twitch (by e.g. Fireb0rn, Relyea, Skurry, MonStahLer, Emray or mossbag). They are amazing.

So all in all, you need this. Even if you don't know it yet.
