I started off loving this one, but there were a few major issues that impacted my playthrough:
1) The roguelike elements lacked enough depth to sustain the game through the last 25% or so.
2) I ran into a bug that prevented the completion of the game for me for several months until a patch came through
3) The ending sequence really felt like the devs ran out of ideas but wanted to make the game artificially longer. Plus, in the original design, there were no checkpoints for the whole end segment (I've heard this was patched later), leading to unnecessary tedium.
Overall, It's cute and I think now that it's patched up it may be worth playing, but my experience was negatively impacted by the bugs and poor gameplay choices and can't personally recommend it.

This game is beautiful. The graphics, art direction, and music are up there with the legends like Ori and the Blind Forest. Unfortunately, the actual gameplay itself leaves a lot to be desired and I found myself quite bored for most of the game’s run, no matter how pretty the rest of the experience is.

This is barely a game. It's more like a 5 minute animated slideshow that showcases some cute art and an abstract, yet touching, story. It was interesting enough to inspire me to try picking up other work from the developers, but I wouldn't say it is much on its own. It is free, though, so it's worth giving a try.

This was super cute and I wanted to love it, but it was super buggy and unpolished. Additionally, it was so short that the credits were rolling before I felt like I had even gotten much of a handle on the whole experience. It was adorable and I’m sure I’ll still go back periodically to visit my cute animal friends, but this was a bit of a disappointment for me.

This rating is based mainly on the campaign and playing as a single class that, admittedly, I don’t think was the best choice for my play style (necromancer). I expect this game will likely become a 4.5 or even full 5 with more time put into the seasons as other classes later, but the story of Diablo IV has always been the weakest selling aspect for me. That said, this was way more compelling than the narrative of 3 and I’m actually excited to see what comes next in future expansions and seasons.

I have mixed feelings on this. The music is phenomenal and the whole game just oozes a sense of unique style that is unlike anything I've ever played before. It's also an incredibly frustrating mess to play from a modern standpoint and hasn't aged particularly well. I'm glad I experienced it, but also never want to play it again.
