I want to love this. I really do. But it's so pervasively mediocre. The reward for exploration is a weapon or armour upgrade you'll find in the next dungeon. And then be able to buy in the next village. And it falls into that trap where if you enable any of the 'easy mode' relics the game becomes mindless but if you're not using them it's tedious and unplayable. If you can access on gamepass/PS+ give it a look but DO NOT PAY for this game.
