I had gotten this game near (or maybe on?) it's release. It had a rough start, with some basic things that felt unfinished. HOWEVER! It's a rather good game, now! I'm playing it at a leisurly pace (near 28ish hours so far) and it's a great time sink. it's not a hand-holdy game. Most, if not all of everything, you're going to need to figure out for yourself. My first roughly four hours with it was a lot of fumbling about, trying to figure out what went where, did what, what I should do, where I should take things. It's very much trial and error, with a lot of busy work in between. The combat in it's segments is... passable. It's something I avoid when I can unless the game decides I *need* to, or X or Y object is easier to get in the dungeon segments. But it plays well, I still have fun with it, and I'm really looking forward into digging into the game again! Some points of improvement (which could also act as advice for playing) would certainly be a checklist. It would be nice to have a space in-game, like a note pad, where one can keep small notes on what they might need. Of course, a pen and paper by your side does the job just as well! There really isn't anything like making it across the map, then completely forgetting what you actually needed to make. I gave this 4/5 but *be aware* that it can be a very tedious - and again trial-and-error - type of game at times. While that's fine for me, it may not be everyone's cup of tea.
