    I’ve played the first two hours now, and so far it’s good but not exceptional IMO. Graphics look beautiful and it runs very well, even on my somewhat aging GPU. The setting and plot are interesting so far. The combat is fluid and fun. However, for an RPG, it’s very streamlined and light on actual Roleplaying elements as well as immersion. It’s the kind of game that reminds you that it’s just a video game all the time. Both when it comes to the design of the areas you travel through as well as audiovisual elements, like lootable objects playing a sparkle sound-effect etc.

      Thank you for the rundown! :) It’s utter voodoo that it runs looking the way it does! :)

      For an obsidian game, light on roleplay isn’t my first thought usually, but neither’s combat especially - it’ll be fun to try it out! :) They haven’t put a foot wrong, so hopefully I’ll be aboard for this too.

      thank you again! :)
