Absolutely LOVE the soundtrack... hats off to Cameron (aka Venus Theory, look him up) for giving me music that brought me back to the feelings I had playing Oblivion / Skyrim!!

The most important video game of all time. This game launched Steam, and Steam, well, here we all are, aren't we. Without HL2, there would be no Steam, and without Steam, I'd argue we wouldn't have 1/100th of the incredible indie games we have today.

If you like Roguelikes, or poker, or basically games where you can pick it up and have a great puzzle-like experience in half an hour, this is for you. It's one of the few games where my wife and I trade the controller after each game, even though we typically don't play the same types of games. Very highly recommended!

Stopped playing Diablo 4 to play Dave!

They somehow managed to take everything awesome from the first game and make it AWESOMER.

Seriously, they tweaked the progression, and added a lot of thing to make the experience deeper, without bogging it down. Unlocking new characters types is fun, and experimenting with them is great (and rewarding). It's really nice to have a dev team understand what made their game great, and expand on that without ruining things.

Scratches the Diablo itch you didn't know you had. Skill tree complexity ALMOST to the point of being overwhelming, but not quite (this could be a bug or a feature, depending on your take on things). Nowhere near finished, but enjoying it immensely so far!

It just floors me how much I enjoy this tool.

It's just so EASY to jump in and make things... and unlike a lot of other "easy" tools, the ease of use doesn't come from any type of dumbing down. Instead, the UI/UX on this thing is just astounding. The interface just does what it's supposed to, getting out of my way to allow my creativity to flow.

I Kickstarted this, and I'm SO glad I did. If you have any interest at all in designing D&D encounters, or honestly just having an awesome amount of fun creating layouts for whatever need you have (it's exports very high quality images of your work as well), definitely buy this, you won't be disappointed!

AMAZING game. Really hits on every point: plot, gameplay, graphics... you can't go wrong with this, especially right now at half off.

Amazing stuff. Tight controls, huge replayability (it's a roguelike, so... yeah). Love that there's more depth every time I play. One game turns into 3 hours... my kind of game.

If you like roguelikes at all (or even Metrovanias), buy this ASAP.

This is very much NOT the game I fell in love with six years ago.

However, even putting that aside, and trying to like this game on its own merits, I can't.

You start the game, and... not have any idea what to do. You'll get your ass handed to you by mobs you think you should be able to handle, and after a few times of failing, give up, and start walking, maybe find a town, where you'll... not have any idea what to do. You'll try talking to people, who may lead you to quests, and think "NOW we're talking!"... and promptly get your ass handed to you again. You'll head back to town, figuring maybe you need better equipment, but you won't be able to afford any, and you won't be able to figure out the overwhelming crafting system... and you wonder if you're having fun or not.

My answer was "no".

Not getting XP from killing mobs, having to grind for even basic equipment over and over again every time you enter a new region, not having ANY idea what you should be doing... its just no fun for me. I wish it was. It used to be.
