This game hits just as good as the Empire Strikes Back ever could. If Disney ever made SW movies the way these games ran well we'd have much better trilogies.

Slightly un-optimized game at launch is much better now. The Graphics in this game are excellent but took me a few starts to get my head space into the game. Once I mentally fully jumped in to find the game I found an incredible rouge lite type of experience.

The story is presented through a lot of found content through logs and notes and it is rich. Slow down with this game and let yourself live this one. It took me back to things like the first time I had played through Subnautica; Strange, Alien, Fascinating.

Worth it's full price imo. An absolute must buy if you find this on sale. This is one of the best game experiences I've had this year (2024). Give it a try.

A game so good that the studio was liquidated in fear.

Edit: I'm leaving my review as negative.

Sony said we heard you and that they "will not move forward" but not that they will dismantle plans. If this review is to be updated then it would be after steam DB's change log shows that the game is purchasable again in the countries it was previously available in.

Original review follows:

I have spent a lot of fun hours in this game. I was only required to have a steam account as that is the platform that I'm playing on. I bought the game via humble so I can't refund via steam, steam policies are such that I couldn't any way now.

The requirement of a PSN account was added afterwards and was never part of the original terms of service. I feel for arrowhead studios because you have made one of the absolute best games I've played in a long time. but it's a fine dinner that is also packaged with just a little bit of ♥♥♥♥ mixed in with it.

The messaging of "We understand that while this may be an inconvenience to some of you, this step will help us continue to build a community that you are all proud to be a part of,.." is just corp speak for "here eat a bit of our ♥♥♥♥ with your fine meal".

I can't give any more money or time to this game if I don't actually own it. Arrowhead keep being awesome and get away from Sony. Sony go eat a whole pineapple.

a very light and fun platformer. Would definitely recommend playing. Only thing I didn't like was if you saved and didn't have the platformer skill set you could soft lock yourself inside of some dungeons without a way to get out. Otherwise a very fun and friendly game that doesn't leave you guessing at what you should be doing next. Would recommend giving this a go or picking it up when it's on sale.

This is a text based adventure with dice mechanics. I started playing this when I had a moment to get lost and I got lost. The game is very well written and the characters you meet feel nuanced and motivated by their own real personal objectives. Give this one a try.

definitely early access. Currently great for solo runs and playthrough joining others in a crew though, at this point, is hit or miss. Something is bugged in the net code. It kept sending group members into solo games even when we qued as a group. keep an eye on this though solid gameplay loop; lotta fun.

why are you reading this? go play this game already.

This game ate my soul for 80+ hours and now there are unicorns?! Get this game it's a classic piece that will take you back to your snes.

This is a game that deserves to be a mainstay in any game collection. It's simple and fun but very difficult to be a master of the meat. Good Dev Team and great game.
