Nope, not worth the trouble.
M&B 1 was great, this took that and made it feel even more lifeless.
Add to this the saves corrupt themselves after 2ish hours of play every time, or randomly become achievement disabled for no reason.

Great game, hours of fun, its just all the invisible walls. EVERYWHERE. Welcome to the railroad, don't worry, the bosses can hit you from the other side of the walls too.

As Sweezy frequently says, ♥♥♥♥ yeah.

Fancy dancing, now with guns!
Enjoy rogue-like depths, varied and challenging bosses, Loot!
What are you waiting for? Turn up the volume and go!

Many things to do, and too much time to spend. 10/10

Great game. 8/10 Would Recommend.

Pros
*Delightful Dialogue
*Multiple choices and paths to the end!
*New game plus

*Other useful loot!

Cons
*Menu navigation day to day (The building)
*Limited audio tracks

Early Access has been outstanding, both in terms of stability, and development.
Hopefully once it is fully live and a real review comes along it remains the gem it shines as already.

A smooth ride.

There are games that have bad launches, this is one of them. But I'll run past the usual bad, good, and ugly for those intrested.

First the bad:
Unfortunatly, its more than a bad launch. Its a full on lack of followup with what was advertised.
Instability, hell 3 mintues in you see proofreading errors in translation, System preformace is off the walls. High end systems chug at <30. Low end systems run decently oddly. The promises of there being no pay to win. While there is no direct pay to win, the cashshop grind is real. $10 for a single row of bagspace for example. Cash shop currency to get a faster resurection? Yep... Crafting/exp boosters. Again its there. Sure there are skins and cosmetics. Hell, the "founders" packs contain skins, with the limit of them all being 30 day. So you get a CHARACTER BOUND subscription item (yes, its per character not account). some temp cosmetics, and a 2 day head start. Worth money? No.

The Good:
Combat is fun! Skills are intresting, and feel smooth to combo and swap between specs quickly.
Taming creatues as mounts, and pets is a really neat little gimic. You see a cool creature, chances are you can tame it.

The Ugly:
Login Queues... Aside from hype. at first there where 2 worlds, slowly they added more. Still looking at 2-4 hours to attempt to log in.
Character Restriction. Made it past the queue? Hope you can make a character on your groups faction. Too many players on the other faction and your locked out. Only way to swap it requeue and try again.
Pay for convience - Some things are convince, sure. But the publishers have clearly seen that microtransations make money and if you can do something for a price, its in the cash shop.
NO PLAYER TO PLAYER TRADING. If you come from BDO this is normal for you now. But give that items for classes that are not coming with release are dropping its kind of silly to think that your only way to trade is a client regulated Auction house that sets min/max.

Picked it up for free, but come to find out Im really into this game.
