I am enjoying the game so far. The combat is fun, easy to understand and strategize. I am still getting a feeling for everything. Hopefully there is no grinding required in this game.
I don't hate this game and honestly I would like to keep playing and maybe even finish it, but there are a lot of little things that I dislike about it that add up. I can say that it's worth playing but only to try it out. It's likely that a lot of the things that bug me will bug you too. For example, it feels like animations and such take too long to complete. This game does not feel fluid in the slightest. I dislike the UI and the inventory system. The voice acting is horrendous (but I am grateful that it's there) and the writing is almost as bad. The game just feels awkward, like it lacks a large amount of polish and sophistication. I think the majority of this sensation comes from the weird, janky animations. My druid had a glitch in her armor that made it twitch and convulse during cutscenes. I was relieved to replace that armor. I also dislike how my party can fail skill checks for plot and lore things. I dislike being kept in the dark as a player. I want to immerse myself in your cool, interesting world that you've crafted. Don't gate-keep me on a bad dice roll. I also dislike how much liberty the game takes in what characters say and who says it. It's not exactly a roleplaying game if I have no control over how my characters behave in conversation. What I am enjoying so far is the story. I'd like to see what happens, even if sometimes I feel like I'm in a fever dream. I also think the level and environment design is top notch, even if some areas feel a bit too empty and dead. I do think BG3 is better but of course it is. It's like comparing glass to a diamond, of course they're not even in the same league as each other. All I can say is... it's worth trying for yourself, it's not complete garbage, but I can't say it's the best game I've ever played.
The best part about this game is that so many people are posting let's plays of this on YouTube. The game is so inherently terrifying that the screams are delightful. I myself can't play horror games due to being too much of a coward, but watching others play it was great and the story is excellent. Definitely worth playing if you can play horror. Also worth a Let's Play watch, definitely one of the most scary and professional horror games to date.
