This is a fun game. Side quests are useful and interesting and they help you level up fast. The level-up system is easy. If you have a busy schedule and you want to escape reality when you have some free time, this is great for that. Not too many things too remember

This is a fun game that has unique game play and an interesting story. You will reach the max level by the time you have finished the main quest. I don’t feel that there is much replay value to the game after that, and there is no farming or multiplayer in the game; all the levels can only be cleared once. I skipped many of the side quests, but it didn’t feel like they added much to the story. Graphics: The graphics still hold up in 2024 even if there are better looking games, this one still looks great, and the interface runs nicely on a 4K monitor. Story: The story allows you to pick different dialog options which influence the outcome. I can see why some reviews say the game is slow, since it has a lot of dialog for you to read and click though with places where your chose matters. Puzzles: Puzzles are a big part of the game, and some can be quite difficult, but you can look at walkthrough videos if you get stuck which makes them easy. Level Design: Most of the levels in the game, even ones that are supposed to be open areas feel very tunnel-like and small with walls of enemies being the only thing slowing you down. Items: Items in the games are basic and even the lowest tier items can be upgraded with essences to the highest tier legendary. Infect the most powerful item in the game would be a level 30 white item infused with your favorite four essences. You will still find legendary items that drop but they feel less exemptional when you realize you can make them. Since, the game doesn’t allow farming, and mobs won’t respawn this was a good chose that the developers made with their game’s design, but it does make the game feel simplified compared with other action RPG games. Companions: The way Companions is handled in this game is quite unique. You can have a party of four and switch between each simply by rolling the mouse wheel. They all share XP and level together as well. Each Companion has a bunch of special abilities that are useful in different situations, and you will find you are often switching between them the way you might switch weapons in a FPS game. Overall, I would say the game is a fresh take on a genre that’s feeling kind of dull and not very new.

Not bad enough to warrant a negative review but... (completed on normal difficulty) Looks good, has an interesting enough story. Gameplay is alright though awful amount of backtracking if you're not reading a guide, like obnoxious amounts of it and no quality of life way of skipping running through an empty (cleared) map just because you forgot one piece of a puzzle. Combat is alright, some fun variation in characters and abilities but there's some indie jank to it making your character not react to commands and what not a second or so after switching stuff or using abilities one after another (clunky). All in all it feels like an undercooked Diablo-style ARPG meshed with a very undercooked RPG and it would've probably been a better game if it leaned into one or the other heavily instead.
