decent Puzzler, takes a min to get used to the cam shifts that if your susceptible to motion sickness can be a problem, otherwise a bit of fun for about 90min

The Bazaar, on launch 9/1/22, is disturbing to me and gives bad precedent, a Crom coin(Cc) is $0.008325 per coin at the $10 for 1200 price point and $0.0064 at the $50 for 7800. The first batch of items:
Bookcase for 760Cc,($4.87)
10 sandstone build Pieces for 1000Cc,($6.41)
Duo candelabra 250Cc,($1.60)
3 emotes for 1050Cc($6.73) on “sale” for 525Cc, ($3.37)
3 weapons 1020Cc($6.54) on “sale” for 663Cc. ($4.25)
6 placeables 2100Cc($13.59) on “sale” for 1365Cc ($8.75)
Armor set with staff 1340Cc(8.59) on “sale” for 804Cc($5.15)

The culture packs: People of the Dragon Pack $10.00 on sale for $7.49 you get:
48 new Nemedian building pieces, including new options.
An expanded full set of building pieces with the same stats as existing tier three.
15 new armor pieces in three sets, such as the Nemedian infantry armor.
Light, medium and heavy sets with an epic end-game version of each.
12 new Nemedian weapons including a shield.
Same power as iron weapons with an epic end-game version of each weapon.
32 new placeables, such as books, a flag, bed and fireplace.
Craft them at the new Nemedian artisan bench.
3 new Nemedian horse saddles.
Equip your horse with a light, medium or heavy saddle.

The Bazaar in its current state is a FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) Scam, If priced correctly is can be a great addition for micro DLC but as is It is a vector to destroy modding.

Funcom I recommend to fix the Bazaar make Crom Coins cost 1000 for $10, 10,000 for $50. Sell individual Items for 10Cc- 100Cc, Do not have a “sale” if you have not sold it at full price or never intend to have it at full price. Do Not have a rolling shop, what is on sale leave it there “retiring” items after a week, 2 weeks or a month is FOMO which is anti consumer. You want things cheap and accessible so people will impulse buy new things.

I would have set the prices for the starter Items at with my Crom coin pricing at”
Book case 50Cc
10 sandstone set 250Cc
Duo Candelabra 20Cc
3 emote 30Cc
3 weapon 50Cc
6 placeables 200Cc
Armor set with staff 250Cc


Bazaar aside the Battle pass, is done honestly perfectly at launch. 1200 Cc ($10) you make enough Cc completing it to pay for the next one, 60 levels with 15 Free to play levels. Daily Challenges with the first ones you do give 10x Challenge xp, you have 3 rerolls if you have tasks you do not wish to do and you can keep doing tasks to progress the battle pass as a ketchup mechanic. I cannot talk about all the balance for tasks but system wise It is honestly perfect.

good weighty combat, interesting leveling system that is a little frustrating at first but it fleshes out well. you can change out your build and playstyle at will. my only wish would be a in game map, the level design is a little confusing and some areas are only visited once and you forget how you got there while others you go to again and again.

Ever just need to shot something? This is a game full of somethings to shoot in satisfying ways... Did mention there is also a chain saw?
