What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
-Good story with plenty of twists and turns, though it can get a bit convoluted at times if your not reading every item description and quest log update
It lacks the motivating mechanics that entice replayability, which is unfortunate, because there were a lot of things i was interested in resolving that, even after hours and hours of searching, i never found the solution. which means its most likely waiting in the New Game 0 that i won't be creating
* The art style is interesting.
Sailing your sand ship, or Grainwake, over the shifting grains of quicksand that are slowly swallowing this dying world really hammers home the carefully crafted visuals and art design, with gorgeous desolate ruins and architecture accompanied by a beautiful, haunting soundtrack just beckoning you to explore them.
I have mostly played a steam deck which has run great but originally I played a lot on a stuttery laptop and I was doing okay there too.
