It took me a cool minute to get the handle on what the real style of the game was, as I didn't read any lore or pay attention to any help/tutorial stuff. So because of that, when the Redeemer came and kept killing me, I got super frustrated because I couldn't seem to kill it. After realizing that you can't, the real style of the game sort of clicked with me and then it became crazy addictive. Every level is intense because you're racing to against the clock to optimize between discovery, items, and experience. The character depth is pretty cool, and not being too far into the game yet, I haven't really tapped into the forging much, but having found some recipes, it's a very neat mechanic. Coupling that with the Ranks that each character gains--also there are unlockable characters which is a nice addition--makes them a little stronger over time which helps. On a random side note, I have the Logitech G910 keyboard and the colors change according to various triggers in the game! Each character classes changes it on selection, and it goes dark when you're really low health for added difficulty and suspense. There are several other cases where it changes, but I'll leave those for you to discover :) Very cool feature.
