I'm about two hours into the game and I'm absolutely loving it so far; it feels like something tailor-made to my exact weird-ass tastes.

an immersive sim/dungeon crawler with SS1-style controls and UI, Lovecraftian horror elements, a great soundtrack, RE-style limited saves, fun characters, interesting systems… I absolutely adore this. so far this is my GotY for 2024, and until Karyogenesys comes out I don't think there's even any competition.

there are currently some bugs to be ironed out, and performance is… bad, but with some patches this is looking absolutely fantastic.

this shit is really good. first run, my character was a Georgian ex-mobster thug/hacker who went on to be the hero we needed, right now I'm playing an aging Muscovite party loyalist wizard, split between his love for the CCCP and Jesus Christ, who will soon be corrupted by the Great Old One. great bloody game. bugs are still being ironed out, but if you liked SS1 it's more than worth it, especially for such a low cost of entry.

Valdis Story was a pretty cool metroidvania https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ay1F4dOs708

Going to play this, but can't decide which character to go for. Would love opinions from people who have played it already on who they recommend.
