Sunless Skies: Sovereign Edition

Good game but with a few flaws

I'd rate this game somewhere between a 3 and 4 (I went with a 4 because I did really enjoy the early game). Its a good game, but has some flaws that keep it from being amazing in my opinion. Pros: If you liked the storytelling in Sunless Sea you'll like the storytelling in this. The aesthetic is really nice and the graphics are both beautiful and fantastical. The soundtrack meshes well with the various locations. Updates are coming to add even more content. Cons: Train speed is not up-gradable. You don't notice it in the early game but as you finish exploring new territory / get better trains and start wanting to just get from point A to point B the pace can seem agonizingly slow. Spamming dodge to go a little faster really kills immersion. Not being able to outrun / catch up to things gets kind of old too. I wish there was more progression in general. I ended up at max level before I was halfway through the game and had more than enough currency to do whatever I wanted to. At that point combat lost a lot of its appeal as there wasn't much reward to it anymore. I also wish there were more options for equipment progression as well as more ways to increase attributes.
