Refunded, was expecting an Obsidian interactive world got served a dead open world with static NPCs, static everything. The only saving grace is combat but it's not nearly deep enough to carry the game. I'll get it again when it's at 10-15€ which is the price I'm comfortable playing for this level of competence. Was back to Kingdom come in a flash.

kinda sounds like The Outer Worlds, in a way. Which is kinda the feel I got from some youtube videos I watched about the game. Got to wonder how on earth the current 70€ pricetag is in any way justified.

Oh well, wishlistforgotten, maybe some sale notification at some point comes a long

The price tag exists solely to drive people to subscribe for Game Pass. With the kind of content the game offering, it's a perfectly good 40 dollar game, not a 70 dollar one. A good spin-off to the PoE franchise while still moving the world forward.

I thought it was okay, though not without it's issues. The itemization (everything being "standard -> better -> betterer -> best") and the size of the playable areas were kinda weak.

IIRC Finished the main game twice, couldn't be arsed with the dlc though.

Huh...

Finished the main game twice

Well, we must have very different definitions of "okay," then. That sounds like it was more than okay if you could go through the whole thing twice!

Well, it's a gametype/genre I tend to enjoy greatly - so I can probably overlook quite a bit of jank/issues/whatevs and still get some enjoyment out of it. First round was the "blind go", second round I wanted to see what can be done differently and what kinds of different outcomes there are. IIRC not much changes when doing stuff differently. Admittedly the second round around was bit of a slog - I think I played it through, but not 100% of it.

To me the "okay" means more of a "more fun than not". The game isn't great by any means, but it's not also off-putting to play, but I don't feel like I need to re-install the game ever again. Also, the game isn't terribly long either.

But, opinions, everybody has them. :)
