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
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
40 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
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.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
32 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
