I have read the most critical and most loved reviews, and I respect them both. I have been playing for several months, and have had a Love/Hate relationship with the game. I have started over countless times, and each time learned something valuable about the game mechanics, enemies and random encounters in the Hamlet and on missions. This is a game, as in my title, that requires patience and a hefty load of masochism and obsession. Once you reach an understanding of party composition, trinket distribution and game mechanics, you will love this game. That being said, this is by far the most difficult game I have ever played, and I have been gaming since I was tall enough to reach Asteroids in 1979.
