    Love the setting and feel of the game but they made it a slog so you are encouraged to buy endless microtransactions. I didn't get very far, I keep playing it randomly but even on easy enemy mobs higher than your level are stupidly hard and will mow you down within seconds.

    Even overleveled on easy I may as well be fighting enemies off with balloons. It alleviated a little bit when hit the core game level cap an upgraded my best stuff, but level scaling in this game means that soon enemies are going to overlevel that stuff and I have to spend a ton of resources again.

    And I actually think the setting is kind of boring. If you've been to the first island in the game, you've seen the whole game. It's just a lot of copy paste. But not even just in the map. Kassandra has killed 4 of her own lovers as the plot demands. I don't even know how many times someone's "messenger hasnt returned... It's really not like them. Will you check on them?"

    Dialogue options are usually: demands for more bland exposition, and polite and mean variety of yes. Sometimes missions give you an accept/reject prompt twice, for some reason.

    Also NPCs in this game just love to run right into a fight you're having and get killed or then cry for the test of the village come after you.
