46 hours in and i still have no clue where to search for Karl...

Just like the first one, this is a great game. I give it a thumbs up. However, this game is a technological marvel, with regards to how poorly it is optimized. If you really want to play a great game about Star Wars, you will have to call Inquisitor and a couple of high-ranking Tech-Priests, then read canticles to soothe your machine spirit and make exorcism of scrap code from the game, then pray to Machine God for the game to not crash and stutter for no reason.

Have to switch my review to thumbs down. Way too many crashes for the game that doesn't have a manual saving system. Buy only on sale.

One of the best Star Wars games I've played, aside from Knights of the Old Republic 1-2.
The only thing I didn't like was a lot of backtracking.
Ofc there are plenty of things unrelated to gameplay, like 3rd party programs and other bad things. But the game itself is great.

The game is good fun in solo mode, in co-op it is pure gold. Ever tried to explain to someone that you need to dress up like a witch and sneak up on a crowd of angry lunatics, listen to the rambling of their boss, talk to him, and be rewarded with a useful trinket, and all of that with no voice chat, only pings, emotes and gunfire. You might think it is an impossible task, but it somehow ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ works, and people understand each other.
9/10 and only because of that one mofo who refused to drink liquid death and revived everyone twice whilst we triggered the bone collector near sewers.

Even though i haven't touched it yet, i am pretty sure that DLC is good and i am a fan of Dawi...but not for this price.
Psst...just keep in mind that you can buy Baldur's Gate 3 for the same money...

The greed of the company is going to ruin a wonderful franchise. It is...sad.

Even though the character creation lacks variety, I've spent more time in it than actually playing the game. Thanks for bringing me back to my childhood and reminding me that my imagination still exists, Larian Studios. This game deserves all the praise it gets.
P.S After being banished from Menzoberanzan, my Drow shadow monk, somehow, got himself into quite the adventure. Clawing his way out of hell, fighting devils and mind flayers, unchallenged, he has finally found a worthy adversary in Druid's grove, it's guardian. After a thorough examination and studying his opponent, he finally decided to get into a brawl with a vicious squirrel. Hundreds of years of studying subterfuge and martial arts finally brought their fruits.

Very unoptimized game. Comparing to Vermintide, which i could run on mid-high settings with the stable 60 fps and no drops, this one runs like ♥♥♥♥ on the lowest settings, giving me from 60(i always cap 60 fps since my eyes see no difference for anything above) to 10 fps. Mouse sensitivity is to sluggish for me even on the max but that is the least of technical problems. I had a few errors with connection but that was expected, given the history of the Vermintide at launch.
As for the game it self-great fun, amazing aesthetics filled with 40k spirit, and the music...oh, the music is just making my nipples hard.
Gameplay 10 Brogryns/10
Performance 1 displeased inquisitor/10

You can never be satisfied, with the amount of rats, that you exterminated , and the length of a beard you grew.
Great game.

+The concepts and lore of the game is cool.
+PvP and combat in general is quite good and fun as well. You can be a sniper that is picking up the target from miles away, mage that is hurling fireballs left and right, or a fat knight that is punching cheeks of his opponents with big hammer. All of that with big variety of combinations between armors and weapons gives a room for good amount of builds.
+Armor styles are quite good looking , being able to dress like witch hunter from Warhammer fantasy is a big + for me :D
+Crafting and gathering is very addictive and will keep you very, very....veeeery busy and sucked into a process.
There are many good things about this game.
So why do i put thumb down? Because a game is simply a buggy mess ,where nothing is working as it is written on a paper, at this point :'D
Give it a month or two, to deal with a pile of bugs. Until then - do not touch it !
