    It deserves every single bit of praise it gets.
    It's taken over all my free time to the point where I can't wait to get home from work to continue playing.

    Outstanding music, visuals and some really cool and intriguing story.
    So far I'm on act II and while things have slowed down somewhat, it's worth playing it for the prologue and act I alone.

    Mechanically takes some time to get the parrying/dodges right, but it doesn't go up to fromsoftware levels and you can always lower the difficulty or repeat the fights until you get it right.

    I tried to stay away from wikis, guides and review sites and went in completely blind on max difficulty, I only saw some passing coments in an unrelated YouTube video of someone who didn't like the ending but besides the mood nothing spoiler-y.

    If you've ever had a minimum of interest for RPGs and have the pc to run it at max settings I can't recommend it enough.

    PS: It got me so excited I had to share it somewhere since none of my irl friends play single player games anymore, for someone who doesn't really engage with social media, even in anonymous sites like tildes, it's a really big deal!

    As long as it doesn't affect other aspects of your life I personally don't see anything wrong with it. I do more or less the same, even the type of games is similar, I do sometimes whish it was a more social hobby or that it'd allowed me to learn some useful skill but then I see the average online/mmo type of game and I quickly loose interest.
