Yeah Cohh has quite the developer following, the Pantheon devs regularly stream with him and the devs of Divinity Original Sin 2 gave him a shout out in regards of how much they appreciated his coverage of Divinity.

Never played a PB game before but enjoying this, quite a shock having to randomly figure out what I need to do but enjoying the challenge. Died a fair bit

I wasn't aware of it so was surprised but also rather interesting to find out. Only seen his recorded streams or Prey and Dishonored 1 and 2.

Cohh has played 30+ hours and died 137 times on the hardest difficulty so yeah, something to look forward to I guess !

LOL

It didn't help that I only figured out I could block with only a one handed weapon after 6 hours

I have purchased this and am quite enjoying it. It takes a bit of time to get decent enough to kill stuff but once you start ranking up and getting better kit it becomes more enjoyable.

Played a little bit today. Absolutely terrible. If you sat here and actively tried to write a worse script you wouldn't be able to.

But that isn't the thing that got me the most, it was the appalling lack of any kind of QOL features. It is like they went out of their way to make it horrible to play!...There are some European studios making great games atm, but they are pretty much all way behind in terms of QOL.

The first update patch has been released. Quiet a bit that been sorted.

Finally got around to buy the game and now played some hours. Got to Goilet and been exploring the town, there is tons with stuff to grab, especially the upper levels of the hotel that are unreachable without the jetpack. Bit miffed with the creators though, putting a lvl 3 chest up there, which I have to remember for later if I wanna loot it !

Have the amulet for lock picking +1 but still need two more and have no skill points for the moment, only at level 3 as well. LOL ... Unless there is some potions you can make and get extra +1 for a limited time period ??

Anyway, enjoying the game so far so will see how far I get with it. :cool:

I've been playing this for a few days. Best looking running away simulator I've ever played!

LOL ! Yeah, at the beginning there is a bit of running away from mobs, got to agree about that. It's nice though when you can lure different kind of mods against each other and they sort it out among themself though.

I played 28 hours and just got to level 9. Lots of reloading though (dying in one hit attacks and such) but now got a companion with me so things a bit better all around.

I think I was over 20 hours in before I stopped running away from 80% of enemies! I'm now 27 hours in and feeling more powerful, but still getting one- or two-shotted by various beasts...

Typical Piranha Bytes game, really. Janky as hell, opaque mechanics, no QoL features (as Pighardia pointed out), ridiculously unbalanced, but also decent looking, a great open world, a huge variety of quests, choices and consequences, plenty of people to speak to, varied factions, lots of crafting, and a nice feeling of satisfaction as you finally figure out the system and start to turn the tables on all the enemies you were running away from for all that time.

I've definitely been sucked into it.

All hail Calaan!

There are few traders in the Goliet. The first ones you meet will probably be Sindha, in one of the first houses on the left as you go up the hill from the entrance, and Alrik, who hangs out behind the tavern. As you meet them they'll get marked on your map.

Thanks. This is really hard but the jetpack.. so much fun.
