So I played the demo over the weekend and easily lost over an hour to it without realizing it. It’s still clunky, but there’s a lot to like. I’ll definitely get it on sale at some point.
K, bought the full game and LOVING IT.
What do you like about it?
The combat is fun, the skills are really varied (you can use psychology as a weapon, and study the anatomy of dead things to learn more about them, all of which give XP by the way) and so far the writing is hilarious. I entered a dungeon where the game warned me “YOUR CHARACTER IS GETTING THE INTUITION THAT SOMETHING TERRIBLE IS AHEAD THAT CAN CURSE YOU. TURN BACK.”
I went ahead, it was like “CHANCE OF SOMETHING WORSE THAN DEATH: 38%!”
So I hit up this boss named BigHead, who kills me (which you get death XP for, hilariously) AND cursed me with a big head, which had some advantages, but I could no longer wear hats either. I asked in global for help, some guy teleported over (which took some time, so I just went to kill other things) and had a blast. Also crafting is fun AND simple.
Yeah, this is really great stuff.
