Yeah it's my favorite game in a long time. Lots of good details. Its one of those games where it feels like the developers thought of everything

Meh. Been finding it too easy. Just cut the RoboCockGobbler's balls off with a Sword of Blazing Twerks and you'll get the Powerbottom Bootyshaker ring and it's basically smooth sailing for the rest of the game.

It's really epic, I'm wrapping up day 3 and feeling pretty good about my progress so far and just uncovered some pretty wild loving leads. I'll probably replay it almost immediately, just from skimming other posts about it I've seen so many mentions of sidequests and NPCs that I have no clue about at all

After playing Divinity Original Sin 2 I got the itch for this type of game again. Will probably pick it up.

The game isnt really what I'd call lore heavy unless you want it to be. It feels very lived in, though.

It's not really like a telltale game, more like an open ended point and click adventure with stats and equipment and a character sheet and stuff. There are skill checks and dice rolls but no combat system. Basically you make a character and choose your starting stats and one of 24 skills to be your "signature skill" and then have to solve a murder mystery and have a lot of ways to go about it-- much much less linear than a Telltale game

Yeah the lore is for sure there (especially if you have high intellect/encyclopedia skills), but it’s not like you have to actually know any of it. The world-building in general is top loving notch.

But it is very much not a “rpg” in the traditional sense of dungeon crawling, with 8 million systems interacting in battle.

It’s a point and click adventure game with dice rolls.

Listen, the first time I ever heard this game mentioned let alone praised was by Larry Parrish. So it has to be a slimy, smelly 14 inch turd being slowly squeezed out of a Mediterranean guy’s rear end. Change my mind.
