After reading the patwater review, I couldn't help myself and had to write a review of the game. Reviewers like patwater just fail to be in the moment and enjoy the game. Instead, the reviewer over-analyzes and picks at game aspects that don't warrant that much attention. The game is an old-school dungeon crawler at heart. If you remember playing games like EOB and Dungeon Master and liked them, you will enjoy LoG. LoG incorporates the play mechanics of the old dungeon crawlers and refines that play with modern sensibilities and lessons learned. On top of that, the game looks really good. My only complaint might be that some of the puzzle solutions aren't intuitive, but nothing ever discouraged me from continuing or pursuing a solution. This is my simple rule of thumb for rating a game: 1 star - so bad I couldn't finish 25% of the game 2 star - not too good; maybe I didn't even finish the game for a number of reasons 3 star - okay game, but when I've finished, maybe I regret putting so much time into it. 4 star - a fun experience; no regrets; might even recommend it. 5 star - wow! this game had me spellbound! I rated the game a 4 star. The developers know what they want to produce, they seem focused on their plans, they obviously work hard to provide a quality product and they develop a game for their target market. I respect that and plan on buying LoG 2 when it comes out. If they continue like this, each game iteration will only get better.
