I just bought the game. Stop pushing the DLC on me.

By now a legendary indie title so I won't add to what numerous people have worded better. It is an amazing game. I nearly finished it on Switch, hence my short playtime on Steam. Just a personal note. The endgame is brutal and a step up from your usual difficulty spike in a challenging game. This by itself is not much of an issue, but since the game takes no prisoners on failed runs, you have to rebuild and re-level your party every time you want to make an attempt at the endgame run and I just didn't have it in me to spend a significant amount of time to prepare for a run that was likely to fail again. I watched a longplay of the final dungeon, performed by a skilled player (his real second attempt) and while watching I knew that trying to achieve the last dungeon would have broken me. Everything up to that point was brilliant. The level of difficulty was absolutely necessary for a game as dark as this, otherwise its themes wouldn't have worked out, but for me personally, the last push was too punishing. I don't regret playing it to near-completion though. It's a treat.

early to mid game is one of the best experiences in gaming, meanwhile endgame is the bane of my existence, still beat the game though

I like how it is hard enough that I have character deaths.
