I played the DEMO version when the game was new in 2021, but I couldn't bring myself to buy the game back then.
Now and then I take a look at the game, but in the end I leave it alone until Steam sells the base game for around €8.
As the expansion was nearly double the price of the base game, I left it out.
What I liked was, as with the DEMO, the dark setting. Humanity is broken, and the game doesn't make a big deal out of the
fact that it will never be the same again. The story drives me through highs and lows and comes to a surprising conclusion.
BUT...the game has corners and edges, and I have to replay some of the missions and side quests to complete them as they are stuck.
What I really hated was the mission tracking; every few meters, the selected mission changed spontaneously and the navigation help
did everything to direct me in the opposite direction.
Proof of Statistics¶
I was a little surprised that I completed the game within 30 hours while my estimation was significantly larger.
Maybe this was because I only play on world tier 3 (normal), but that was challenge enough for me.
While I shot through the story, I did all the side quests when they appeared and also the manhunt, monster hunting and collection quests.
So after the credits, my Pyromancer was at max level and have some legendary gear equipped.
While the game was fun to play, the signs are bad for another installment.
The state of the game, with its bugs not fixed, means, I think, that there isn't someone to invest any further in it.
