My first session ended up going for 10 hours. I got scared for a brief moment after I recorded and saw that it was almost a perfect 10. In that moment I thought my recording would've got cut off.

Was convinced to give this game a chance based on a negative review on its steam page. All they said that I really cared about was that they described the game as a single player mmo. For me a single player mmo experience is what I've wanted for a very long time.

From what I've experienced so far I don't recommend the game yet, I think a wise decision would be to come back a year from now and look at what has become of the game then. At present it looks to me that the game is trying to create the world. I hope that once the world is filled out that the progress then switches from quantity to quality.

The game at present only has a main quest, there are no optional quests. Because I like to get dropped into a game and do what I want and then do quests I found that after a period of time of doing what I felt like doing the quests would then send me back to do it some more.

Armor can only be crafted and the more gold you need per craft the more worthwhile it is to craft. Weapons can only be dropped by enemies. At night the flashing lights of attacks landing can be blindly bright. Most fights with enemies are the same. Flying in this game looks cool, but you won't be able to do long distance travel without pausing due to stamina being consumed.

I had assumed for a while that armor was affected stat wise by what gemstone it was crafted with but I was very wrong, gemstones are cosmetic in nature. Gemstones decide which color your armor will end up.

For stat investments in the early game I focused on agility because I wanted to move around more quickly. I feel I wasted time going this route since I would often reset my stats so that I could fight enemies.

The one feature I hate the most about this game is the dragon eggs. They appear as loot but when you interact with them they steal 3000 gold. A solution for this would be the game dev creates an npc that hatches eggs for 3000 gold and you turn in your collected eggs to them.

The game has a guitar and you can play music from it but unfortunately you cannot roam the world whilst listening to that music. I would like to unlock songs by doing content and be able to use this guitar menu to change what music is playing whilst I roam.

I am pretty sure the game currently lacks any form of superboss or difficult challenge. The best I've seen so far is a level 39 enemy but that isn't anywhere close to what I'm looking for.

The game has tower that you can progress through but I don't recommend attempting a run if you've had the game running for a long period of time. Prior to running the tower I suggest you close the game and reopen it. Each floor of the tower requires all enemies to be defeated and from my experience I found that after a long play session the enemies had a chance to spawn inside the floor.

Armor crafting with the focus of getting legendaries is what I have been up to lately. I've used various external tools and methods to make the process less painful for myself and still it is not something I can recommend to anyone else. That said I have made a lot of progress on that front, there is a decent possibility that I might have a set of gear that is difficult to replace when the future me records.

Tldr the game is super early access.
