Good game, 7/10. The story of this game (MMORPG -> RPG) is interesting, and it's good that they managed to make the game they wanted, because they made a really good game (and I wouldn't play MMORPG)

Pros:
- The gameplay is enjoyable. The most important thing about the game is that you want to play it. The effect of all the elements of the game coming together makes this game fun.

- The combat - I feel like this is a very subjective opinion, but I liked the battle system, so much so that in my opinion it dragged the game a bit in its weaker moments.

- The art style - I usually don't pay attention to it, but this game is beautiful and I was really surprised by it, because it's a smaller team I think (AA game?) and they made such a beautiful game

- The wayfinder system - lots of characters to choose from, you can choose exactly the hero you like best.

Meh:
- The bosses - some were cool (normal bosses), some were terrible (Dread Legion, Hollowlord Vendraal). I hate it when you die at the boss because at some point it does X, so you have to run and do something because if you won't then you're dead (the other thing is that I hate gimmick bosses and there are few)

- Technical state - mostly okay, but I had occasional freezes and a few crashes that crashed to desktop, which caused me to lose about an hour of gameplay (I had to replay one stage) - it was very annoying.

- Story - classic fantasy, nothing more.

- Music - unnoticeable for most of the game, a bit better in the second half.

Cons:
- Level cap - an idiot came up with the idea that the maximum level was 30. I hit it halfway through the game and since then I've avoided some of the content because it didn't make sense.

- Side quests - ugh, just a disaster, starting with the dialogues, the multi-stage nature, and the hopeless rewards that made it not worth running back and forth to get almost nothing. My most hated quest in the game - Love After Gloomfall.

- I feel like the game should have ended a few hours earlier. There were good opportunities for that and the ending seems dragged out. How many "final bosses" were there? 4? (The First, Aturach, Precursor, Terrysa), after each of them you could easily end the game.

Quite good for how cheap it is.
If you have an ARPG itch to scratch it does a pretty good job with a good amount of customization and some additional fun features like housing.
It looks incredible, some of the best stylized visual on the market and probably one of the prettiest games I've set my eyes upon.
My only real negatives are (most are very subjective) : I don't really vibe with the soundtrack, I find it lacks "charm"; Not a fan of Hero characters as I would have far preferred to create my own character in this type of game; It's a bit repetitive but it comes with the territory I suppose; The story and overall characters are not super good, it's okay at best.

Got to preview this game at PAX East some years back and had an awesome first impression, couldn't wait to play it. Loved other games by this same team (super recommend Battlechasers: Nightwar) and then was really bummed when I heard the publisher had pulled out, figured the project was dead and it turns out that's the best thing that could have happened. This game is jam packed full of value and I love the signature art and animation style this team puts out. The combat is really fun and my GF and I are having a blast with the co-op. We noted how some of the story structure and boss fight elements remind us of FFXIV, I wonder if that was an inspiration at all. Admittedly there have been some moments where frames drop and have had a couple crashes but overall the value and fun factor of this game make me recommend it big time.
