Completed New Game ++ with 100% achievements.

Incredibly fun combat and rewarding exploration. The developers have come a long way to fixing the game through community feedback, and it definitely shows in the quality. Fantastic build variety, a lot of perks, abilities, weapons and armor synergize with one another. Maps are massive, feels like you're wandering through someone's fever dream. Story and lore is engaging, and the final area of the game is hauntingly beautiful. Gameplay rewards thoughtful allocation of attributes and gear customization as well as skillful readings of enemy telegraphs to block or dodge attacks. Boss fights are frightening and well-designed.

Starting out may feel a bit daunting considering you lack the experience and gear to put together a good build. The beginning zones are a great introduction to the mechanics to ease you into the combat system. The game really starts to pick up steam around a quarter through when you can start customizing different statistics of your character through gear, gems, perks, and attributes. New Game Plus is where the game really shines if you put together a good build, or if you want to try something different they provide you a potion to respec your perks.

Amazing game, time and money well spent. Looking forward to future projects from the developers.

Good game. Does what the label says it does.

Feel like it had a rough launch and maybe should have had another 6 months to cook. An unfortunate news cycle that was beyond the control of the devs I think also tarnished it, but I think this games deserves a lot better than it got. The updates and fixes have now got it in a pretty good spot and I look forward to whatever future projects come from this team.

My only criticism; it's not that performant on steamdeck or other handheld devices. The game runs well-ish on desktop, but there is clearly still some optimisation at the low end that was left on the table.
