I like it. You have to be patient, not a super dark souls player level. Just thoughtful about your interactions and plan ahead if you need to take on bad odds. In real life you just can't fight 3 guys at once. But if you quietly draw one off, silently put him down, put the one you're fighting between you and the other, you can figure it out.

Saving is a pain though. Had to look up where to find the saviour schnapps ingredients. I don't even mind that I had to sit there for 30 minutes brewing potions, just that it was so hard to find. Good game.

I got it at launch, and it was better than I thought, movement is a bit weird, combat is quite simple and repetitive but luckily that's not the really big pull for this game. Mostly it's about dwarfing around in moria and it is a decent for what it is. Stuff tends to look pretty good, wild creatures aside, and there are some dwarfy aspects that feel lovingly crafted and it is pretty lore heavy. I think it appropriately priced, even as a huge LOTR nerd.
