Great game if you like a stealth/thief challenge. Humor is ok but gets old quick. Sometimes the mechanics can be a pain, especially when you're spotted and have to fight. I find parrying a bit tricky, but I'm old. But overall it's a pretty cute stealthy goblin killer game.

In the end I decided to give this a 10/10 because I've played the game three times with three different people and each time the game has felt new. There's so many laughs when playing together with someone and "oh shit" moments that cause absolute panic throughout the game. I feel like this game is underrated and should have more eyes upon it! Anyone want to play it a fourth time with me? ---{ Graphics }--- ☑ Good ---{ Gameplay }--- ☑ Good ---{ Audio }--- ☑ Very good ---{ Audience }--- ☑ Adults ---{ PC Requirements }--- ☑ Decent ---{ Game Size }--- ☑ Workable ---{ Difficulty }--- ☑ Easy to learn / Hard to master ---{ Grind }--- ☑ Nothing to grind ---{ Story }--- ☑ Average ---{ Game Time }--- ☑ Average ---{ Price }--- ☑ Worth the price ---{ Bugs }--- ☑ Minor bugs ---{ 1 / 10 }--- ☐ 1 ☐ 2 ☐ 3 ☐ 4 ☐ 5 ☐ 6 ☐ 7 ☐ 8 ☐ 9 ☑ 10 ---{ Author }--- ☑ https://vojtastruhar.github.io/steam-review-template

Has dwarves in the game, although you play with a goblin. Best stealth game I played so far, really fun. The writing is funny, the art is astounding. I barely know english anymore, but I think you get it. Full price recommended.

Amazing coop stealth game that is very unique. Reminiscent of Aragami 1 and 2 excpet in this game the main character is actually hilarious with constant banter and whenever you die he roasts you or tells u this will take awhile so order pizza. At one point the game makes fun of Assassin's Creed as well by having the character ask where his conveniently placed haystack is. XD
