This game is so good it single-handedly got me into game modding. I have learnt to reverse-engineer PE files and made an Italian translation for it. I think that warrants a positive review.

My grandma passed away in her sleep last night and it’s been taking a toll on me. I just picked a random steam game I bought in the summer sale to help try to take my mind of things. I’m really enjoying the story and combat, the soundtrack is also supreme. Would definitely recommend.

June 2024

Played this an ungodly amount of hours on other platforms it's one of the last things makes me feel something though recently that's been mild annoyance at the dlc not being out yet. The best game I've ever played, so good it makes me think it was worth wasting my life playing games just to have the privilege of hearing about it. If it isn't in your steam library yet its a fiver on cdkeys dude if you message me ill cover it. edit: I AM NO LONGER COVERING KEYS I AM SO BROKE LIKE SINGLE DIGIT BANK ACCOUNT DESTITUTE
