everything is slow - running, traveling, attack animations, the grind to level up, etc. crafting is a waste of time and money, so feel free to skip it. "difficulty" in combat comes via bullet-sponge NPC's that hit like trucks, rather than enemies using interesting tactics. the art design is great, but everything else is just mediocre. i'd say get it on sale, but you probably have other games in your backlog you should be playing instead of this.

yuck

basically the poster-child game for "great idea, bad execution." super clunky movement and combat. a ridiculously complicated and obtuse skilltree. washed out, ugly art. i could go on, but plenty of others have already done so.

boardgame-like rogue-lite. great for local coop.

art is great, gameplay and story are mediocre. many other games occupy this same space and are much more enjoyable.

great 4X-lite

thin layer of indie jank all over it, but fun to play with a pal

I'm normally not interested in "escape room" games, but this one is pretty great. The puzzles are a bit on the easy side, but are still interesting. The atmosphere and storyline is great.

great game for couples

Very little player agency, as If you move 1ft out of line while doing any missions, you'll fail instantly. Outside of missions the world is big and beautiful, but it's filled with mundane, boring tasks that give little or no reward. The basebuilding system is utterly meaningless - the storyline and character interactions are identical whether you spend $0 or $10,000 on it. The controls and menus are clunky and convoluted. The voice acting is amazing, but the storyline is mediocre. This is essentially an on-rails, minimally-interactive movie dolled up to look like an openworld game.
