Not a shadowdrop, but it’s only two weeks away. Sweet.

    never got why they following is so massive. one of these super popular games that never really clicked for me. i mean it was fun but also felt run of the mill; i didn’t understand what’s so special about it.

      The atmosphere. The fluidity yet sharpness of combat. The emotional attachment to the story. The absolutely gorgeous level designs.

      No game will be for everyone, and it’s okay if this one isn’t for you

      The gameplay loop was solid, but not completely original.

      But the lore of the world was interesting and was dolled out fairly well. Neat little chunks of lore that felt like a reward when you get them.

      Add in great art and music, and you have a game that you can build a fan base on.

      Add in the free expansions and fan friendly developer, and you get a robust fan base.

      Which leads to expectations for the sequel.
