Early Access Review
I want to start out by saying, first and foremost, THANK YOU WRITERS. This is one of the best-written RPGs of all time and it's not even out of Early Access yet. The best part of this game is the character variety and depth--by far. Now, onto specifics for those of you wondering if this is the game for you; I will start with the good and move to the ugly.

Gameplay:
The fights in this game are turn-based, and there's something so enjoyable about eldritch blasting or thorn whipping someone off a cliff. If you're a fan of Divinity titles, this game will bring you the same--if not more--joys with which you are already accustomed. There are multiple opportunities within the first act (which is all that is out currently) to alter the events and outcomes of your campaign.

Graphics:
I had mentioned Divinity, but like, this game's graphics are just way out of Divinity's league. So if you were okay with that, this game will blow you out of the water. The environment is stunning, the character models are gorgeous, and they actually zoom in during conversations and have moving mouths--we all know the struggles in games without mouth mapping.

Customization:
You can literally change your look so much in character customization that you can make any of your elves look Drow if you want their aesthetic but not their roleplay backlash honestly. Like, you can change your skin, eye, and hair color to anything from purple, blue, pink, etc. Whites of your eyes bringing you down? Make those black instead! And again, you can customize your party and interactions so much that you can really characterize the protagonist that you're playing as (at present, you cannot play as the party members, but in the future I believe they have plans to let you play as them).

Honestly I could keep going with the pros, but the last one I'll list before moving to cons is multiplayer. Even in early access, my friends and I can party up together. I think two players is the best number so that you can each bring along your romance interest or your fave party member.

Cons:
It's not completely out or available yet!

No but also, I definitely think this game isn't for you if you're not a fan of roleplaying or you don't like to get into stories. If you're more about combat, this game might not be for you. This game rewards you for roleplay, ingenuity, and exploration. If those things aren't for you, I wouldn't buy this game. But if those things are for you? Welcome.
