Gotta love this review. "This game is full of filler. But if ya like that kind of thing..." :D
This is the first of the bigger CRPGs of the past decade that I've put down for good. Bought upon release. Re-installed three times to return to the save. Called it quits after 80 hours, another couple areas of uninspired copypaste combat, walls of text and Owlcat managing to make a remarkable place rather unremarkable and busywork even navigating: a demon city.
Apparently huge games, RPGs in particular, wasting your lifetime are inherently of value itself. And I'm instantly reminded of this Fenstermaker interview post PoE and his quote about zero-sum tradeoffs between quality and campaign length when on a budget. Owlcat Games are the Eastern European factory liners of CRPGs truly: churning and sweating out "epic" campaigns at an unheard of rate. All alongside to DLCs, and obviously making "quantity over quality" their company ethos.
I swear, if they'd reverse that, they may be in for a masterpiece. It's not that they cannot do differently in their games, or I'd never finished Kingmaker (after one big time-out too, no less). Or sticked with this so long. But yeah, as if they'd reverse their ethos...
