Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 1.43/day in the week to Aug 7 → 1.43/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 23 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 14 places towards #1, and the 2,420 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Reviews
The game comes with about all the wibe from Gothic or Risen - mechanic, exploration, story - all loveable if you played any of these games before. It's a rather tough cookie though - early and mid-game are rather punishing in combat while late-game reaches a somewhat balanced state.
I am so happy I decided to give this game a go despite many of the reviews painting it in a a bad light. Yes the difficulty curve is steep but only at first. give this game a few hours and I promise you wont be disappointed. This game is great. deep lore, endless choices, and a story that will give you real emotion.

Juego basto y con gran posibilidades. Muy entretenido por la infinidad de cosas que se puede hacer
combate travadissimo, animações sem graça, musica repetitiva e ruim e o pior de tudo um RPG onde se você não colocar todos os seus pontos em força e constituição você não consegue avançar na história( o que limita muito seu personagem)
absolute favourite game from 2017

It's just not worth the time or energy. 4,5/10
Im Gegensatz zu ELEX 2 ist der erste Teil gut spielbar. Wie bei den meisten Piranha Bytes spielen ist die größte Schwäche das Kampfsystem. Dafür hat mir die Welt und die Quests spaß gemacht.
Its okay. I've tried to play this game a few times but it just doesn't really pace well. i thought i was doing some smaller quests and exploring Edan to gain some levels so i could become a Berserker and ended up progressing through parts of the main story with missing context making my earlier actions feel cheapened. Quests overlap other quests causing you to resolve 2 at once whether you are aware of the second quest or not. Because of the overlap issue i feel like i am leaving the weight of certain actions on the table and its making it hard to stay engaged.
