Disappointed in Eastward, especially after all the hype. I expected a lot more in terms of puzzle, combat, and mechanics. The dialogue is SO dry, boring, one-dimensional, and stereotyped. The characters are equally as stereotyped and "quirky". It really rips you out of the impressive atmosphere that the graphics and music build. There are moments in this game that had me questioning "Did this REALLY need to happen?" There was a lot of "wasted" time and plot that felt pretty paper thin. Overall, the game is pretty. The graphics are great and so is the music, but the puzzles are too easy, the combat is FAR too sparse/easy to beat, and the characters are uninteresting, so the long dialogue they have weighs this game down A TON. Not impressed tbh.
