This game is literally Runescape with 0 sanity checks, it's an old school grind, except there is no balance, there never was, with every perfect set you build, you can push deeper, fight stronger enemies, find better loot, gain more stats, become stronger again and do you want to know the best part?
Story

Related to the lore while doing the main quest, the characters you're introduced to aren't exactly cutting edge in terms of originality, but their intriguing backstories and role in the story makes them surprisingly engaging.

In summary, Elin is amazing: the mechanics are engaging, the music is lovely, the graphics are simple-yet-effective, and the sandbox is addicting.
