Amazing game. The developers put SO MUCH love into the game, way more than most games I have ever played, its literally MIND BOGGLING. The game is SO pretty, so many details. Combat and hitboxes etc. are so smooth and accurate. The game is challenging, but you can make it easier (and beatable for most people) through exploring the world. The map is HUGE, but somehow the end of the game is very easy to find, thanks to the big golden tree (erdtree), so you will never really be lost. You are basically automatically drawn towards it in your adventure.

The game has HUNDREDS of hours of playtime in it, it you are looking for 100% completion. If going for 100%, it also barely feels like a "grind" like most games, its actually rather fun going around and far from repetetive. There are about 100 different bosses, with different mechanics. Personally Ive went around to collect all weapons, armor pieces, talismans, spells, incantations, key items etc. (almost got them all lol), and I didnt feel like burning out, as I probably would have in other games.

The game has an ingame currency, which you can use for levelling up or buying items. Most items can be brought, and farming the currency is easily enough. Ive never really felt like I had to grind for ANY ressource other than this currency (and it wasnt really needed tbh), which is rather nice. Even though picking up random items around the world can help you. The game has a crafting system too, tons of different arrows, potions, MANY miscallanious items like stones that glows or used to find your way back, soap to remove foul liqiuds etc. there are ALOT of recipes for many different items.

You can make your OWN character, AMAZING customazation options. You get to decide almost EVERY FACIAL FEAUTURE. Like how wide/thin your chins are, nose height, position, size, etc. if you are dedicated, you can have your character look almost identical as something you want (like yourself). I am honestly blown away, I spend about 1 hour creating my character lmfao (which isnt needed, you can also just use default and change later). You can also change how your body looks and hair etc. choose from ALL colors (color codes) for eyes, hair, skin etc. there is almost no limit.

The game has NO microsancactions. No scummy ingame "gold/shards" or whatever. You get the FULL game and its all included. And again, the devs have put SO much love in this game, this world. I can recommend it, 10/10, its one of the best purchases I have done, I even bought it for my girlfriend to play it together. (The CO-OP system is BAD though, its a better single player experience by default, but with "Seamless CO-OP mod" its a BLAST to play with someone) (talking about mods, this game can be highly modded, I also suggest "item description" mod, since you then can see what the things do, damage wise and elemental etc.)

So all in all, other developers need to step their game up (literally), because this one takes the cake (next to OSRS ofc lol).

Great game, I played it for like 80 hours in just the first month of owning it, very addictve. So many items and combos, literally like 700 hours of gameplay to finish the game 100%. I really recommend this game.
