For reference I played the game in roughly 60 hours, but you can get a lot more time if you take it slow. I play a lot of survival video games. Some pros of this game: It is very very story rich if you love lord of the rings you will love the story and the game. I enjoyed the fighting style, and the armor progression style.
Some Cons. If you don't have a full party (4 players) the game is very unbalanced and you constantly die... or I just suck lol. The game makes up for this by allowing you to customize the difficulty...
BIGGEST ISSUE WITH THE GAME: It is very buggy. The game feels as if it is early access. At the time of this review I played it 4 updates after 1.0 launch. The map stone are hard to use and you cannot name them making it very confusing. The locations and map are very lazy. The map doesn't tell you what's up and what's down and the locations are reused making it feel like I'm going in circles. It felt a little lazy.
Last con is the building is hard. There is no snapping and its hard to get things where you want them.
Overall: I enjoyed the game but wouldn't pay more than $15 for it. It seems unfinished but great story line.
If you want a game similar but better try Valheim... even if its still in early access.
