Incredibly Janky, enemies have attacks that ignore blocking, player attacks feel like they do nothing, inventory is always full making it nearly impossible to move despite being told to come prepared, Open world is a drag to go through because you either never have what you need or have what you need but have to walk in slow-motion. Respawning is horrible because if you're trying to work at a dungeon and trying to figure it out your own way the game punishes you by randomly respawning you in places sometimes the whole map away, which if it were some kind of mercy system it wouldn't be so bad if there was an opt-in, but there isn't so you just get dragged off. The map is awful and does a horrible job of telling you anything, alongside none of the NPC telling you anything, so you can walk up to a place that seems friendly only to find out it's a bandit camp because instead of calling it a Bandit Camp they gave it a fancy name for no reason, meanwhile there are places literally called Bandit Camps. Enemies often spawn in groups, and that wouldn't be so bad if you could lure them away from eachother but they generally move the same speed and stay right next to eachother. Enemies can sometimes simply regen all their HP while you are fighting them if you don't do high enough damage fast enough, often encouraging just running through things, defeating the point of the combat system generally. The survival mechanics are almost entirely meaningless half the time, wherein you will always have so much food that it is pointless, or have so little food that you won't even be engaging with the game anymore until you get food again, water is so easily gotten and filtered that there is almost no point to it being a required resource. Enemies constantly apply huge debuffs even from the beginning whereas your strongest attack is Kick... Friendly NPCs will often just stand by and watch you die in front of them, even when they are actively telling you they want to fight and/or escape. The game also explains not a whole lot, which would be fine if it weren't so awkward, like playing a game not made by someone who played a video game before, but was just explained it, or just watched it. There is very little respect for player expression or time, so ultimately I have to give this a Negative review unless I find something in it worth doing, but for the moment I am dropping it because I am tired of being warped away from a dungeon I am practicing fighting enemies in back to Cierzo for the 14th time.
