Wayfinder is an interesting game. As a lot of other reviews have said, it's like a single player MMO. Also, as a lot of other reviews have said, it had a rocky beginning but pulled a super admirable 180 on their monetization direction, and turned the game into a really solid single player or small party experience.

My main focus with this review isn't to point all that out, but to point something else out.

Even though I only play the game in short bursts, doing a run or two or running around killing enemies to grind levels and items, it's a game that sticks with me.

I've seen other games that do the customizable character, randomized dungeons, overarching story over runs with 3rd person action combat before and, unless they do something truly different, I find myself watching the trailers and reviews, nodding my head, and then going "I think I'm just going to play more Wayfinder."

Wayfinder isn't a stunning graphical achievement. It's not ultra unique. It's not particularly groundbreaking. But what it does do, it does well.

Sometimes you need something that is super engrossing, with a story you'll tell your friends about, and features that make it stand out in games magazines and popular opinion...and sometimes you just want a game that performs well and has fun enough combat that you pull it out every once in a while in between meetings or when you want to take a break from whatever other games you're playing.

Wayfinder is that second game. I highly recommend it.

if you don't have graphics card with frame generation (e.g. nvidia 40xx) be prepared for stuttering and lags when loading new area
devs should try to disable any advanced/expensive unreal engine 5 functions and maybe that would help
I have i5 12400, nvidia 2060. 32gb ram and I can't bring myself to play it because of mentioned issues

removed mmo aspect so finding party is bs now no option buggy game should have just made it mmo
