it's good although no little bird yet

Fun

The best action RPG I've ever played, it's up there with all the greats. They've built one of those world you want to see again and again in more games or books or anywhere really. There's nations that constantly do stuff to or with each other, nothing exists in a vacuum. And fighting the Epics is always fun because you keep returning to them with more spells and better gear. The game doesn't use levels, and while you do eventually make gear out of unobtanium, the game never feels like it's the purely stats that made it easier. Also the movement options are great, your first big one will be a sticky bomb you can use to leap on the gaint Arks.

The roguelike loop doesn't necessarily only mean every day is reset - it also means that the mansion itself is a part of the puzzle. And how you play your cards (rooms), since they can't repeat, determines which mysteries you'll be uncovering.

As far as how the puzzles work, it's not like you get to sit in a tiny room stare at a wall and solve a thing on a board to move on. Those exist but they're quick and simple to get you resources for solving them. What happens much more is you're piecing together clues from around the mansion to use them in specific places, you're making tools to interact with things you've noticed, you're making notes. You're building the mansion in a specific way.

Forced stealth section that repeats from the very beginning an hour into the game. I don't believe for a second anyone who can design a good game will ever do that.

they put fun in it

Great mix of top down view and soulsy combat with stat and ability based gear upgrades. Looking forward to playing as the game develops. It's not POE or diablo, it's more like souls.

Early access so: unfinished in most ways. I will recommend if you don't mind that, the game that is there is already very good.
