A fresh blend with a Slavic spice
TL;DR: the game plays great even after Thea 2 release, and is worth of its money (especially when on sale). If you need a Russian translation for the Story Bundle (officially only English language is available) or proofread English version (original one has a bunch of mistakes), you can find it here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/378720/discussions/0/4040355933300374115/ Thea: The Awakening is a curious mix of TBS and RPG with a procedurally generated world, extensive crafting and progression system and tons of events that can happen during the game, all of which ensure a great replayability. It have been said enough about main mechanics, so I would like to say about what captivated me besides the gameplay itself - the atmosphere. A great deal of the atmosphere comes from visuals: the main map view is simple but has its charm - sometimes you will want to zoom in and take a look at what happens on some hex, or how fireflies roam around another one. And the strongest part of visuals are the drawings of characters and gods you see in the inventory screen and in combat challenges: these are simply amazing. Another great part is the setting and writing: Slavic mythology is still quite an unexplored field despite Witcher games showcasing it to a degree, so if you're interested in folk tales the game will offer you a neat and immersive introduction into Slavic take on all things pagan. And the writing is done beautifully - the game features a great amount of events with lots of conditional outcomes, and you will hardly see 20% of them in a single lengthy playthrough. The voice acting for the narrator is also nice, invoking a sense of a tale being told to you - you will rarely want to skip it. And the music is simply beautiful. It never bores you, and you may want to listen to it even outside the game itself - so mellow is the atmosphere it creates. So, if you look for a good game to steal several dozens of hours from you (and your sleep schedule) - go get it!
