Hey folks. Anyone has it yet? I have it on my radar for a while already, Pushsquare's review is not up yet and what I've been reading on other sites, well... scores seem to be all over the place (ranging from 4 to 8) and I cannot decide if it's worth my money. Hmm, lets see. I'd love some RPG action that is not as daunting as skyrim (which I am still playing but get turned off it on a regular basis) but also, obviously, I don't want to shell out some money for complete crap!

I got it, played a couple of hours. Dialogue and voice acting are poor. The swearing in the dialogue feels out of place IMO and a lot of the acting is wooden. Story is a bit standard.

Visually unpolished. For example, after speaking to NPCs I've noticed a few of them will snap back into their previous pose they had before you spoke to them. Also has a very plain look, like an old PC game from a few years ago that doesn't have any effects and solidity. Kinda hard to explain but sometimes it looks like you're watching cardboard cutouts.

Now the good

Music - excellent
Combat - satisfying, if a bit repetitive
Skill upgrades feel like they're making a difference to my character already
Direction of scripted scenes is good. Makes best use of the visuals

It's not complete crap by any means, but it's not as good as I was hoping for.

I think only 20 people helped develop this game.  I probably won't get it even if it does go down in price.  However, if what I heard is true and only 20 people developed the game, that is amazing.

Can't wait, Im curious as your scores on this page usually come closest to my own personal taste!

Thanks for that insight. If you'd have to rate it 1-10?
Btw... love your name. Lol.

So far I'd give it a 5/10.

Is this an open world game, or more linear RPG?

The whole game consists of three main locations, all of which are quite linear but relatively large. Certainly not open world, but there are bits and pieces to explore.

If you're on the fence about giving it a go, our review can hopefully help you make a decision:
