It’s a challenge, but it’s great. If you’re looking for a true RPG based in reality, this is the one. My character got their ass kicked and their bruises and cuts remained for weeks. The combat is difficult, because it tries to make it real. Some times you will simply be unable to attack because your character is out of stamina, or didn’t sleep enough, or hasn’t eaten.
If you go into this game think it will be easy, don’t. It’s not. It has a learning curve.
I love it, but I’m giving it 3 stars because the quests and objectives are always unclear. This game makes it so much like you’re living in the life of someone during that time that the maps and objectives are hard to find. If you follow a walkthrough it will be much less time straining.
