When I got into the swing of things it can be a pretty fun game but that's behind a lot of jank, endless searches on wiki pages and many, many massacres at the hands of bandits The game really isn't newbie friendly tbh, there's a lot I had to look up, which made me drop it a few times, I get that that's the appeal for some people, but I need a little more to go on sometimes

A decent enough game, once you actually get into the meat of it past the early slow burn. It's a shame so much of it was cut during development, since as far as I'm aware even the catpeople from DD2 were originally meant to be in the first game. Interestingly, I find the Bitterblack Isle DLC more fun and interesting than the base game in all ways.

Still love this game despite its many flaws. There's just that feeling of potential in it and there are many little things that feels well thought out and crafted. I was considering scoring it 4/5 first, but the game starting to bug out a bit brought it down to a strong 3. Really looking forward to DD2

The latter part of the game definitely improved for me. Some of the questing was pretty repetitive and tedious until then, and the open world is a bit bland. I enjoyed all of the monster hunter influences, though, and the variety that the vocations offer for combat. Really hope they improve the inventory system in the sequel, but I am looking forward to it either way!
