"Darkest Dungeon is about making the best of a bad situation."

I think what this is trying to say is that you get some candles even when you lose but you can only progress when everything goes right. Even in a perfect run with all positive relationships and fully geared characters the boss can still wipe you if you get a couple misses on your turn. There's not making the most of a wipe on the final boss. You just have to do it again and hope that RNGesus is on your side.

Making the most of a bad situation means dealing with adversity and setbacks in an ongoing campaign. I believe this applied more to the first game. In DD2 the rogue-like design just means bashing your head at it over and over until you get the right run that results in finally beating the boss. There are no setbacks. Just start over.

The choose your own adventure stuff is opaque and means little. The missions are generally the same with little to change with tactics. Enemies are predictable. It's way to punishing to "live with your mistakes". Save scumming was necessary for me to enjoy the game.

At this time I can't recommend the game. I will not review the game for what it could be but only for what it is currently. It crashes to desktop frequently, there is no tutorial or onboarding, the game does not notify you of certain key events like the trader showing up, villagers suicide trying to recover other dead villagers. I feel there is a lot of work to be done and if the game improves in the future I'll return to this review and update it accordingly.

I'm a cat. I meow at everyone and break everything.

Just an excellent little roleplaying game with inspiration from the Forged in the Dark tabletop system. Lots of possible endings but best played through just a single time. Despite how mechanical the interaction with the game is a lot of heart comes from where you choose to put your time and energy. Making sacrifices between taking care of yourself and advancing different story threads.

I think the game could be improved by having more story threads but not incorporating them all into a single run. Randomizing some and sprinkling them in to give it a bit more replayability as there are 3 classes to play but no driving reason to play again.

The game crashes every hour and there's no dialogue audio in the cut-scenes.

Apparently there's a 4th act? I have played for almost 200 hours and there's a 4th act!? I haven't been there yet but a 2 year old episode of The Crate and Crowbar says it exists.

Meditative and relaxing. The start of the game felt tedius with all the manually watering but after I got some sprinklers I felt free to relax and enjoy the game. I spend more time talking to the villages and exploring the world. Pet my cat every day and make sure their water dish is full. Don't mind the bone mill in my living room...

This game is fun and unique but it gets really repetitive. There are too many locations in the game where essentially nothing happens. On the locations that things do happen there isn't enough variety to the events. After a couple play throughs you'll see the same events over and over again. Some times in the same run. I would give this game a positive review if there were more events but they would need to at least triple them and make sure you don't see the same ones in the same run.

Artifact intrinsically is a fun game. However, it's not worthy of investing money into. I have opened 10 packs, used my starting 5 tickets and bought a budget deck for $13.21 to play constructed.

The game doesn't tell you any of the rules for keeper draft. It doesn't tell you you can only pick one hero per round.

The game doesn't tell you you can only do one phantom draft every 30 minutes. It locks you out if you want to practice your drafting.

The game doesn't tell you that if you're a novice player you will get destroyed in any of the ticket entry games. I received 0 prizes from my 5 tickets plus 1 (traded cards in tickets).

The game doesn't tell you what your MMR is so you don't know where you stand or why you are losing.

The game doesn't tell you if you are actually playing against humans. It's so lonely in there.

The game doesn't tell you what happened in the match because there is no replay functionality. I want to improve my game!

I constantly get disconnected. When I reconnect I cannot zoom out or view other lanes. If I disconnect while looking at a lane that is not being played I cannot play cards.


You should get 1 free ticket every day to give me a reason to actually try expert play. It's not worth the money investment when I know going in that I will lose.
