Unfortunately, although I have been looking forward to playing it for almost a year, I ended up dropping it after three coop gaming sessions.

The combat is very hard, which would be fine, but it's ultimately unrewarding, as that is not the way to make money in this game. That instead, according to my own experience and online forums, is endlessly grinding fishing and cooking.

That is simply not worth it for the time investment that the game, a game without fast travel mind you, proposes.

The gaming experience is mostly walking from point A to point B, fighting difficult battles against respawning enemies and getting ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ for that. The few times you do get a big reward, that reward seems as powerful as the starting gear in action.

Quests barely pay out anything and don't ever pay out both people, which is unheard in any coop game I've played so far. Same for quest progression, which also doesn't happen for both players.

I got it on a sale, so not much is lost, but also I don't feel any need to start this game ever again.
