It's done. Not going to write an extensive review but throw out a few thoughts. It's the best RPG I've played since Baldur's Gate 3 (sorry Metaphor and Rebirth) and one of the best RPGs in the past decade; up there with the likes of Persona 5. It has a great cast of characters that I cared about and rooted for. There are some very fun side quests that flesh out the world. The game world is extremely immersive and exploring is fun and there is a constant sense of wanting to know what's in that house or up that hill and it reminds me of Elder Scrolls in that sense.

I have a few negatives related to gameplay mechanics. The biggest flaw is your character's gear maxes out too early. I had the best armor and weapons in the game at the 80 hour mark and didn't have nearly as much incentive to explore any more. I'm not asking for magic crossbows or flaming swords, but more unique looking loot would have been appreciated. Also I wish there was more customization as the crafting systems are underbaked (and I would have like armorsmithing and cooking).

The first KCD is a 6/10 where it's extremely flawed, but you can see a lot of passion went into it. KCD 2 has the framework of a 10/10 game but some nitpicks knock it down a tad. If you have the time, I would suggest playing the original if to see how much Warhorse refined their work, but if not then the sequel is a perfectly great beginning spot. My pick for GOTY (for now).


Oh wait I guess I did write an extensive review.

Two things for which I will gladly shit on Steam from a very big height.

- Cookies, what are they for ? At this point I think the Steam website suffers from Alzheimer, no other explanation.
Always, always forgetting me, and having to ID. And God forbid I try to ID on a tablet because I will have to launch and confirm myself the Steam app on the same tablet. Is this a skit ?
It doesn't even seem to work that way on desktop where I was just forgotten on the site and had to use the mobile app to ID.

There is no consistency, the only constant is forgetting and making ID annoying.

- Discounts. The recent-ish new way of displaying discounts. Is there a more obvious anti-consumer way of doing it than hiding the discount percentage ? You want to know the discount, calculate it yourself !

I see the discount percentages everywhere, in release lists/game pages/even the embeds here. The only thing Steam forgets for me is the age check as I do clear browser data every so often. Only had "being online yet being as if I'm signed off in certain views" when the store's very occasionally super hammered🤷‍♂️

Yesterday the Atelier Yumia demo was running effortlessly, today when I first tried it performance was unplayable, even on low settings. Rebooted the game and suddenly everything was back to normal. Weird how this shit happens.

Man I want to kind of buy Lies of P but it has DLC that is coming so when I see something like this I do not want to buy...ugh. How many DLCs will the game have? Will they even give a discount to existing owners? I probably should wait for a complete set. All that goes thru my head.
