|  Out today. I'm downloading it as soon as I get home, in my third attempt to get on with an Image & Form game. I'm hoping that it being a turn-based RPG will help with that. Anybody else joining me? |

| It is a tad pricy but seeing I liked Heist and Dig 2, not so much Dig 1 as it's your fav type of game Balla. I do like an RPG as well which this one seems Paper Mario-ish then let's say a Final Fantasy. |

| Hope they do good genres next time. SteamWorld Sports. SteamWorld Racing. SteamWorld Mania. |

| Hot on the heels of the worst music in games, we have the worst voice acting in games!  What the f**k accent is that meant to be? Also  at the story being 'the gods were bored so they mucked up the world'. |

| I'm not sure if I'd get a lot out of it as I'm not usually big on card-based RPGs and their ilk. How's it playing, Balla? |

| Early signs suggest that the randomness isn't as bad as you might think, what with a generous hand size and two redraws per turn; but I've played three battles thus far. Ask me again in a few days?
The dialogue's a lot more charming when the voice acting goes quiet... |

You ever played Steamworld Heist, Jay? If not I think you'd get on with that way more, also for me it is far and away the best game in the Steamworld series. |

| Heist is fantastic you should definitely play heist if you like turn based strategy in the slightest. It's like a 2D Mario + Rabbids if that helps?
I'm definitely going to get this, but not immediately. I should be getting Days Gone today and I just started Okami on Switch (and when I say "just started" I mean the opening dialogue took like 20 minutes so I stopped as soon as I could control anything). |

| How's the SWQ treating you, reckon it's worth the £23? |

| I'm enjoying it so far! I can see myself actually finishing this one. The combat's pretty fun, the deck-building is tight (24 cards between three party members means you're unlikely to get lost in cards), and the story/writing/characters are strong. That latter part's the key, I think, for a JRPG. Dividing the experience into levels is something no JRPG worth its salt should ever do, and the cut-scene skip is lousy; but otherwise I'm having a good time thus far, all of three chapters in.  |

| I wouldn't be skipping cutscenes as it's I play a story based game, otherwise, I might as well play FIFA.
What's up with the levelling? |

| I’ve found the story to be pretty poor so far, I like the game mechanically but the story isn’t landing for me

| Meh, there are only six or so types of stories in the world anyway. What matters is how it's told. I think the telling is whimsical enough. I had been getting a bit bored of the battling to be honest, given how many enemies you get chucked at you; but then I hit Chapter 5 and they switched things up a bit. - @masofdas wrote:

I've had to go back to a couple of chapters to get chests I've missed. It comes in handy then! |
