It surpassed my expectations. I ignored development and didn't read up on it. I bought this game because I loved Apotheon and Capsized. It is even better than the aforementioned. + Great art direction, great art execution; + Sound is great: Great voice acting, Solid soundtrack, fits with the visuals; + Handles great with keyboard and mouse (I haven't tried a controller); - None yet. It really does feel like they've taken everything they know from the two other games, and mixed up a great successor with loads more of replayability and complexity. P.S. The portrait animations for the characters are perfect.
It wasn't easy to ignore the trailer when it came out, featuring the voice of Patrick Stewart as the emperor, yet this is far from the best reason to pick this up. Although the graphics are a bit dated today, the game has a strong story, tons of things to do in different ways. It really is a mid-ground between the charm, possibilities (and terrible combat system) of Morrowind and the generic action (but extremely fun) gameplay of Skyrim. But most of all, if you want to immerse yourself in the world of TES, this is a great game, because it has a bit of everything. The amount of content the deluxe edition has will more than make up for the price demanded, especially on sale.

The only reason it doesn't have 5 stars is cause DF exists. But it's the next best thing. Get it if you're having problems with DF, or in my case if you're PC is not strong enough and experiences lag-death in DF, this game doesn't. Also, very moddable, I once replaced all the animals with insects, seemed more gnomish.
Let's just say I hated point&click games. I hated them for more than twenty years, until I discovered this game. Now I look for them, I still think most are bad, but I can thank this game for changing my mind and opening my eyes. A great pixel art style, a great story, writing and fun puzzles. Give it a try, it's something special.
One of the best sci-fi platformers you will ever play; everything is just right, the humor, animation, controls, art design and so on. It's all just right and good enough to make this game a classic. Levels are fast and fun, and there is incentive to revisit them again and again. Great game!
