If you've ever had the experience of being in a house that has a sheet of cookies baking in the oven and the house is full of the delicious smell and you're anticipating just how good those cookies are gonna taste, this is the game equivalent of that. This game is clearly an alpha build, but the bones of it were good enough to hold my attention for 10 hours, and the only reason I didn't sink more in is because I don't want to spoil my appetite for the finished product.

The Bloodline has some strong elements and is certainly worth the money and time you’ll invest to grind and level up, whether you aim to become the most powerful mage or a dual-wielding maniac. However, the game currently suffers from a lack of consistent content stability. Although it receives regular updates, these updates often disrupt the experience by adding or removing entire areas and content. This frequent shifting can lead to missed loot, NPC missions, or special events, as the game's landscape changes too rapidly. Additionally, the game’s unique date and time system can be frustrating. The need to be in specific locations or complete quests before characters die on certain days adds pressure. With the dates being random, low-level players who have just started might find themselves facing enemies well beyond their abilities and stats, which can be quite challenging. I understand that the game is in early development, and issues like bugs and clipping through the map are expected. However, even on a high-end PC, which I invested a significant amount in, setting the game to high settings results in severe, game-breaking lag, with frame rates dropping to between 3 and 15 FPS. The game has a promising concept and could be enjoyable for fans of magic and exploration or those who like games like Valheim. However, I recommend waiting until the game reaches a more stable phase. Constant updates are good, but they may not be ideal for an early access game. It would be better if the developers focused on finalizing the core aspects before releasing major updates. While I appreciate their responsiveness to player feedback, the frequent micro-updates and significant changes to land and quests make the experience less enjoyable. The recent addition of a new area is intriguing but only adds to the uncertainty of what might be removed or altered. The developers should concentrate on refining the game's foundation and hold off on updates until they have a clearer vision of its direction. As it stands, the constant changes make it difficult to fully enjoy the game. Overall, it’s a good game with a great future, but I won’t be putting in any more hours until the creators provide a concrete update and clearer vision for the game. I enjoy the game but believe the developers need to have more patience and relax on the updates. Give it a try if your curios but Honestly I would wait until the game is stable.

I just want to say I really appreciate the development and feedback. I raised issues regarding keybinds specifically and they've been addressed in the following update.

You played Skyrim and consider yourself a seasoned adventure? Yet, you've never juggled goblins with your fists, soared through the sky backwards with pyromancy, resurrected the dead, and topped it off with a light seasoning of literal meteors in the same combat encounter? Can't relate... I can't wait to see what's to come! Greatly recommended!

Recommended with a big caveat. This game is absolutely nowhere near finished, it is an awful glitchy mess at times that constantly has you running into unfinished content and at others it presents us with an absolute feast of RPG gameplay features that would make Morrowind blush, it is nothing short of a love letter to the Role Playing genre and there doesn't seem to be anything that this game's singular developer is bad at. The amount of potential for play styles in The Bloodline seems almost endless, the graphical styling is endearing and the actual moment to moment piloting of your character feels really good, which is something that a great deal of outstanding RPG games cannot boast. The developer for this game is accessible and generous with his time and overall this just feels like everything a game like Skyrim was supposed to be. In many ways The Bloodline suffers from the opposite problem of a game like Skyrim which has often been described as being as wide as an ocean and as shallow as a puddle. The Bloodline is a game with immense potential for scope and depth but for now feels about as vast as a common household bath. If the developer is ever able to finish this magnum opus or even bring it to a place that approximates a finished state I would be doomed to pour a thousand hours into it at a bare minimum, but to be clear that is in question or at least we may find we are waiting a very long time to see what this game becomes. I myself will be keeping a very close eye on this game.
