Boring, slow and poorly designed attempt at a horror game that's about as scary as a door mat. Couldn't bear more than 30 minutes of this before I uninstalled it. Thankfully it was on the game pass!

I'll just leave pointers tbh and I'm so sad that I'm giving this 1 star but it was that bad for both myself and the friends who got it to play as a group. Poor character creation. Buggy mess full of graphical and audio issues. Everyting was blurry. Starting area is a hideously ugly mess that doesn't engage you at all. Also, as a tutorial area, gives you no real guidance or tutoring which just feels stupid. Combat is dull and repetitive with no charm of actual D&D. Feels like a single player adventure with multiplater tacked on, there's no reason to do stuff as a group. That being said random encounters can pop out of nowhere. Companions are given to whoever starts a conversation and can't switch them to someone else if you don't want them. Options menu kept resetting certain changes upon saving. People saying the game gets good after 4 hours or so, who wants to be unengaged by a game like this for that long before it gets "good". Playinh on a controller (due to joint issues) the characters are incredibly unresponsive sometimes. With time, balancing, fixes and a Divinity style definitive edition this might be alright. For now, however, thank goodness for steam refunds and the original game.

Really enjoying it so far (6 hours in). A few minor annoyances and would like some better animations on a few of the pokemon but other than that it's a good game
