Despite this being Not Very Good, I've played through the entire thing twice. Once on my own and once with friends. The experience of playing it solo was definitely slower and more methodical. It felt much more tense moment to moment and feels occasionally more like a survival horror than an action RPG. As a group was certainly quicker and still harrowing during boss fights, but the actual world exploration was usually pretty breezy. On both modes the boss fights are kind of excruciating. Really felt like smashing your head into the wall over and over until finally something gave. Nonetheless, there is fun to be had.

The procedurally generated features aren't very interesting, and the randomness they inject into the game doesn't feel novel or rewarding and the interactions between random events feels pretty hollow (I think of the bandit man with the watch, in particular).
