I’ve put about 3 hours into this and it looks promising. Not even into the first main city yet.

The level of customization seems almost overwhelming
Almost 15 hours in now and I can say this is hella addicting. Like there’s always that one more quest you can do. Great game so far that could probably be even better with a sequel.

Only played like 2 hours so can't say much on the RPG or story elements but the gameplay is...:ohlawd::whew:

Even works great with a controller, might play like that until I get more spells, I hope Bethesda is taking notes.

Also the game looks fantastic, wish it had better character design.

After sinking some more time into this game. I gotta say I'm loving it. The combat just feels so satisfying. I'm just playing on the base difficulty, but so far it's been a decent enough challenge so that it doesn't feel boring. I stumbled into a random cave. Didn't look like much was in it at first. Some little spiders. Easy enough to take out. But then I found what looked like a pit that was covered by webs. Burned through them, dropped down into a lake and then stumbled right into a den of spiders. No problem. Then a big ass spider comes out of nowhere. No problem....dealing with it. Then an even BIGGER spider comes out. I'm like :what:.

I look over and the homie Kai is just :dead:. I'm looking at this nikka like :aicmon: you supposed to be tanking.

Somehow I killed everything in there. Looted everything. Went back to camp, recovered, upgraded gear, cooked food, etc. I'm running a rogue with dual daggers and a bow.

My advice to anyone interested would be to play it for the combat if nothing else. Thoroughly enjoying it so far though. 8/10 for me at the moment.

Some of the comments in here make me optimistic. I've been waiting for this and I have been especially confident that the combat would be great.

Surprisingly, GROUNDED is was made me sure the combat would be fulfilling. It looks like they learned a lot from the combat you use to fight all the hostile bugs in the backyard and essentially did a grounded combat 1.5.
I'm going to see if I could get time on it tonight.

I like it a lot so far.

Controls/combat are responsive and not clunky like other first person melee games. Really like the dual wielding loadout stuff, you can combine stuff to so some really cool combos.

Level design is very dense and vertical making exploration fun.

The game looks really good too, i love the colors.

Not too far into the story yet, but it seems like your general fantasy RPG stuff.

really impressed so far :ehh:

In my warlock bag heavy now that I’ve found some more powerful wands/grimoires. One thing about this game is that they’ve made it so every type of loadout is viable.

Just started the beginning last night before bed. I always waste so much time on character customization but it looks interesting so far.

Been messing around in paradis for like 5 hours and hadn’t really looked at the map yet.

I opened the map and see i’ve only been in like a small corner of the map this entire time.

If the entire game is this dense with stuff to do, i don’t think i’ve ever seen an WRPG world built quite like this. The overall map is “small” but there’s more to do than in maps like 5 times this size. :wow:
