Super fun, the procedural generation could use some post-processing to avoid the occasional impossible situation but it's a run-based game so there's always next time.

Basically one of the best games in existence. I'm a ~12 year forting veteran and extremely happy to see the game finally get a layer of polish for mass release. The learning curve is steep, but the mechanics are DEEP, and the game will keep surprising you hundreds of hours into playing.

HAVE !!FUN!!

I suck at it but it's beautiful

Wildly fun

Incredible game, absolutely nails the horror aesthetic and emotional atmosphere. I was in a VHS nightmare and I loved every second of it, there were moments I had to remind myself to breathe.

KEEP ON TRUCKIN

Dead game.

It's the best Elders Scrolls game don't @ me

Singleplayer is okay, but updates have been minimal for the amount of time Taleworlds has had. Even worse is the multiplayer side, the only official online modes are Skirmish and Captain, both of which became uninteresting very quickly. Siege and Team Deathmatch still exist as custom options, but the servers themselves are programmed so poorly that you have about a 50/50 chance that the match will even finish without crashing, then a good 75% chance the server will crash between games. Taleworlds has had so much time to work on this, yet the server stability has effectively remained the same since launch. I love the fighting mechanics, I have since Warband, I played on a Napoleonic Wars battalion for a long time, but this has easily been the most disappointing addition to the franchise yet.

Perhaps one of the best early release games ever made. It's a bit tedious playing solo, but a server with friends makes for some of the most satisfying teamwork and progression possible.
