“This game is simultaneously as shallow as a puddle and as deep as a large lake. The world and characters are cardboard standees. The vocation system is neat. Its balancing systems are also at odds with one another. The…”

“I really tried liking this game but after more than 20 hours of gameplay I just gave up. [h2] The Bad [/h2] [h3] The World [/h3] It feels really empty. The spawn locations of the enemies are always the same, and with…”

“I really want to like this game based on the premise, and the opening led me to think I’d love it, but I’ve mostly dropped this one and don’t know if I’ll ever play again. The world feels so empty and artificial, the…”
