Seriously a masterpiece! I Don't think people realize that ALL the purchasable items(save the tent) are unlockable in game. Please don't punish the dev team who are super passionate about delivering a truly unique and immersive experience, just because you can buy some rift crystals instead of playing the game to get them normally. Remember that the marketing team aren't the same people as the development team. This series functions differently, it's not like other RPGs it's very unique, so don't go in expecting it to be like other RPGs. It's quirky and unique and it's so so great. It feels like playing a combat encounter in dungeons and dragons but with real time satisfying action! If you want another cookie cutter RPG then just go elsewhere, instead of mindlessly destroying the ratings on steam after 30min of playtime. This game doesn't hold your hand, it takes a long time to get the hang of and that's not a bad thing.
And as for optimization, it is 2024 guys, give them at lease utill one post release patch to get things ironed out. Please give this franchise a chance, you won't regret it!
