Hm, I actually found the voice acting pretty not great. Some line reads were odd, and the different voices felt like they were recorded on different mics.

I made it to one ending, and really didn’t feel any desire to do another go around.

I know what you mean about ‘perfect’ though, I have my own small list of odd games that, to me, feel like they’re ‘perfect’ in what they’re trying to do.

I never gave it a chance, as theit practice of paying for exclusivity is infuriating to me.

Make your shit better. Hell, make it comparable, and charge a lower cit (so devs make more), and I’d support then.

Paying to make the market more closed off sucks.

Yes! Probably my favorite forage item, lucky enough tonhave it grow fairly frequently in the woods behind my parents house

I don’t care for it. It does some interesting things, in base building. But having played it a lot mostly because my friend group likes it, it’s very janky. It does not feel close to 1.0. And, while there’s some fun to be had, everything outside the horde nights just feels like busywork in a way I didn’t feel with Valheim or Grounded.

Short answer: read Jack Vance’s ‘tales of a dying earth’. It’s the reason dnd magic is called ‘vancian’.

Longer answer: in that series, magic works by just remembering words, and then saying them. But these magic words are powerful things, weighty in the mind, hard to carry. And, when said, they tear themselves out of your mind, causing you to forget them.

So, not ‘spell slots’ per se, but the idea is you’re prepping spells almost as a ‘potion’, something you carry in your mind, and consume to cast out a spell.

Personally, I like Monastic Archer stance the best. Not that its the most powerful (probably ranger or fighter is ‘best archer’, in terms of pure archery skill and feats).

But I like monks. They’ll be tankier than a ranger, and have some extra utility and lots of movement. And Stunning fist is great, if not likely to proc all that often. Ki Strike strike on bows is also cool.

And just, having ‘flurry of blows’ leaves you with usually having two actions to do other stuff with on your turn, letting you actually have actions to use other bits and bobs you may get from skill feats, gear, or other archetypes. So you have a lot more flexibility.

So, yeah, fighter will be most accurate, ranger will make the most attacks, but I still like the monk’s ability to dish out decent damage, while keeping the ability to do other stuff in the same turn.
