Story and characters

I played the earlier title from the same dev, the Exiled Kindoms for around 1000 hours. (20 characters with 20lvs in total)

That being said, the gameplay is solid, and I definitely recommend it.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The landscape, lighting and exploration are good, skybox and day / night cycle, and the soundtrack is pretty excellent for wandering around getting lost, and, actually, immersed.

Optimization
Players who bring up Optimization mostly praise it.
fairly fun albeit unfinished. if you get this game in its current state, be ready for a lot of bugs and crashes. it's also poorly optimized and has issues eating up memory. all that said, i see this game being a huge bundle of fun in the next coming year or so when things get polished. i really enjoyed the character creation & all the variety of classes that are in so far. i ended up starting over maybe 4 or 5 times just to see what all the classes could do and finding my perfect composition. there's definitely some balance issues in the combat that can make it feel overly unfair if you're not using certain classes. it's punishing even on the easiest mode if you don't plan every battle strategically.
