I've only been introduced to Thea with this 2nd installement and I have to admit I love this game! The concept and mechanics are so unique that it leaves an impression long after you've finished a playthrough and set it aside. At least that was the case with me. The game blends elements of fantasy RPG and strategy in a way I have never seen before. I'm now playing my 2nd playthrough a year after I finished the 1st one and I remembered why I loved it the first time. Fair warning: if you have never played Thea before, I suggest you watch a tutorial online and see how it's played. Some of the rules that usually apply to most other games (like settling down and starting a village early) don't apply here.
