An addictive gameplay loop that starts off with a steep learning curve.
I had to switch down to Easy difficulty to get established, but once I understood how to do everything, I realized I could have managed without that.

If you loved Subnautica then you will....merely like this game. The second half is definitely a different experience from the first but I didn't mind it too much, since the story really ramped up during that time.

This falls firmly into the category of "I'm glad I played it, but I definitely won't be REplaying it"

Come for the Spiderweb reputation
Stay for the great writing
(Eventually) leave for the annoying background voice in certain towns that says "mommyyyyy" in a whiny monotone.

8/10

I was 'following' this game for a good long while, and finally got around to trying the demo, and after the first session I moved it to my wishlist. Oddly enough the thing that sealed it for me was the voice acting. For some reason I didn't expect there to be any, and when I heard it and realized it wasn't crappy, I suddenly liked the game a lot more.

It took several more sessions to beat the prologue boss. It has a raid-boss feel, with mechanics you have to pay attention too. The game allows for a great deal of flexibility in combat styles, and fortunately for me the game's autosave had me set right before the boss with a couple unspent skillpoints, so I was able to try a couple different methods before I found one that made the fight easier.

The only downside I encountered with the game as a whole so far is right there: the idea that I may have to avoid spending points right away in favor of having added flexibility when I come up against difficult bosses.

Mixing gets a little tedious but it's a fun concept nevertheless

Soldier 1: Bet you a peanut butter packet?

Soldier 2: Don't WANT a peanut butter packet.

I used to like the idea of growing old and seeing technology advance to such a degree that it might be possible to simply transfer my mind into a new body in order to continue on and experience new things. This game made me think twice about that idea. My doubts were further solidified when I considered what happens when you drag a file from one drive to another.

The original doesn't actually go anywhere. It simply gets copied, then deleted, and the *copy* continues on.

I've decided that one playthrough is enough for me precisely because I don't want to be creeped out about that again.

Surprisingly playable 20 years later with the GMDX mod.

My father died today (6/20/21 - Father's Day) and I'm playing this to distract myself.

About what you might expect from a merchant simulator. Thankfully the game is designed in such a way that even if you become broke you can still get back on your feet in fairly short order by running errands between cities, so you always have a way forward.

Aside from the occasional typo, I was happy to see the game uses good writing, with a light-hearted, comedic style. Here's a few excerpts that made me smile:

['Maybe this healing business isn't so hard after all!' the trainee exclaims, spinning happily and almost elbowing you in the face.]

[There is an air of reverence in the Museum of Weaponry. There is an entire wing dedicated to the Bardiche, a particularly nasty looking polearm weapon. You wander back into the sunlight blinking several hours later, having successfully navigated the most dangerous gift shop ever devised.]
