Let me know how it is. I am still on the fence about it.
If the text is this color, I am on duty, everything else is just my humble opinion.

I played it for about 60 minutes and hated every second of it. If I weren't a backer, I would probably be more lenient but then again, I wouldn't buy it until a huge discount or something.

Ok, I exaggerated a bit :mrgreen: I'm a downer, sue me :P

Didn't hate all of it, but I was severely disappointed as I have finished PS:T playthrough before New Years, and as a "spiritual successor", it does not hold up.

The writing is horribly disjointed, it is stylistically all over the place, it is overly descriptive for things that add too little to the world-building and mostly highlight THE WEIRD of the setting, they are under-descriptive of things that do. Combat is serviceable, I suppose.

Overall, it feels like a lackluster release, but at this point, after 4(!!) years since kickstarter, 3 missed deadlines, several stretch goals cut, anything they would have released would have been lackluster.

Also, their kickstarter pitch of making a literal spiritual successor to the original Torment kinda skyrocketed the expectations. :P
