Cube World

Cube World is a beautiful and charming game. As you begin there's a depth of mystery. You accidentally drink your potion before you've even truly begun your journey. You set out to kill the nearest cute little creature, and it obliterates you with the force of a semi-truck. You realize there is no XP bar, you may begin to lose hope and feel scammed, as if your puppy had been killed in a car accident. You continue forward to see what this new Cube World has to offer. You fight new enemies, face new challenges, and see new structures you've never seen before. You find yourself your first 5 star weapon! You start to destroy everything with ease, and feel like a god. Then you travel to the next region, and get curb stomped into the ground. You look at your weapon and armor, and realize it's actually all trash tier in this new region. You go back to the original region so that way your gear has any meaning, and find your first dungeon. You explore an interesting new area, eventually make your way to the main boss, and defeat him relatively easily. Ooh, what's this? A shiny new relic! You delight in the reward, until you realize that all this effort was to obtain a minuscule and unnoticeable improvement to your lamp's radius. "This game is trash" you might be thinking. However, if you get 10 more relics, if you're lucky you could get actually 4% increase to your lamp's radius. Don't worry, some day you will get a 10% increase to your lamp's radius! 10/10 game, buy this now it's one of my favorites.
