A disturbing lack of feet.

I finished the Dark Souls Series late last year and quit World of Warcraft after about 11 years of playing shortly after. Since then I have sort of been drifting between games for a bit, never really settling on anything.

One Night whilst speaking with some mates on Discord, I found this game in the Memes category and figured "why not?" so I bought it and played it. Something about the game got my inner autist raging. The game and it's puzzles consumed me, I spent every hour that I was not working or sleeping figuring out puzzles.

I am by no way likening this to Dark Souls or World of Warcraft. I am not going to liken it to any AAA game, because it is not a AAA game. It is a simple puzzle game, and it doesn't need to be more. It presents you with a puzzle to solve. If you solve it, you are rewarded. Simple satisfaction, immediately.

No real need to do a pros and cons thing and LARP like I'm a game reviewer, I enjoyed it

The Developer is a genuinely nice person, top stuff mate.

If you enjoy puzzles, try it out, support the dev, if you enjoy it get the rock pass.

as for the accusations of it being a crypto miner, I tore this apart to look for a solution for a puzzle, so it is either very well hidden, or does not exist (I'm going with the latter)

Having just finished the game I can say this:

The game was fun, I enjoyed it.

However:

The game lacked content, I know the game will be releasing DLCs, but really It's not enough to call this a full game. Most of the time you'll be ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ around trying to level up yourself and your runes. But by the time you are leveled up, your runes mean ♥♥♥♥, you just have to counter correctly and perform executions again and again.

The only way to increase the difficulty in the game is to turn off the couter-attack prompts.

The Nemesis System is fun, for a while, then it gets tedious. Go to location, activate mission (Oh, you brought a mount with you? WELL TOO BAD, THAT'S GONE WHEN WE RENDER THE INTRO CINEMATIC FOR THIS MISSION) It isn't all bad, I remember finding a character I had previously fought turning up while I was fighting a warchief. The best part was when he said something along the lines of me leaving him for dead, which was entirely correct. I had cut his head off last we met and here he was, standing before me with a scar across his eye. (Mordor's doctors are on point)

He then killed me.

But yeah, that was fun. But i suppose it's all gravy when you can never die and that isn't fully explored except for the fact that you're possessed by a wraith...

Which allows you to do super epic stuff, that no one seems to realise. Most of the Story-line avoids the fact that this guy CANNOT DIE.

Protip, just Brand everyone and everything. Then the game is piss


Cons:
Not enough Content.
Pretty easy
Lacks good RPG elements
Story is rushed through (I mean ffs, you have Tolkein's entire universe to play with) it wasn't gripping at all either
Not really open world, 2 areas that aren't exactly big.
Quick time events, this isn't CoD.
Runes become useless
No end game content

Pros:
Looks good
Combat is nice
Brutalising an enemy is the tits


So to summarise, If you like pretty games where you know when and what to click so you don't die buy this.
If you're a fan of the series, it might ♥♥♥♥ with your headcanon.
But honestly, unless they release a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of DLCs that improve the overall quality of the game, it isn't worth it. Just another way to fill the cocaine bucket.

Fighting The Tower, did you get bored by this stage? I mean it was just running up to a vantage point and jumping down. Rinse and repeat untill dead GG you win
Final boss fight, really? 6-7 click Quick Time Event. Did the cocaine bucket run out?

Do I reccomend it, wait for it to go on sale.
