The sense of dread i felt being forced to enter Stonehenge well missing two pieces of the banishment ritual and the relief i felt after getting it right is probably something I'll never feel again2 found this helpful
I like the idea of supporting Yahtzee. The game itself is interesting and, at times, intense. There is a mystery going on and you gotta get to the bottom of it or else the world will end. There is resource management with the most important resource being time! There is some combat too. Full disclosure: I played it offline when I was on my laptop at school for a while and it really has been a while ago. My playtime is way more than just 3 hours and I recall enjoying it. It's just $1 now because, and this is exactly what Yahtzee said: "because it's getting old a bit now." Thanks Yahtzee. Incredible value for its cost.1 found this helpful
Hell yeah
Darkness eats the world One light struggles to remain Shadow learns your name
This game would be so good if it was good
My only gripes with this game are the amount of rng involved in unlocking the extra characters and the lack of a vsync option. I have no issues with the graphics. [spoiler Also the wizard is completely OP in the final fight, which felt like a reward for getting to the end with that character. /spoiler]
