My initial review of this game was kind of mean and I felt went from a lack of understanding of both game design and the actual mechanics that went into the game


Not to say my issues went away per say but I was looking at it from a perspective of other game I like the black and white morality isn’t super well written but like, it sure is fun from a gameplay sense in this game

And maybe the game benefits from a simpler story to focus on a fantasy life sim

It’s an ambitious project and I’d be lying if I didn’t respect the hell out of ambition and trying to do cool shit with your game

The way you interact with your player character and how they interact with npcs and the world is very impressive and fun the fun ways you can complete quests is actually impressive, how armor and your character looks makes npcs reacts is really cool

Also the style has really grown on me

Combat is still a clunky but it didn’t bother me too much

As well as how this game gives the player exploration and choice without filling the world with empty space, now granted it’s not an open world but maybe modern games can learn from this fun albeit flawed fantasy life sim
