Darkest Dungeon®

The game is not good, like at all: 4/10 TL;DR: Dont waste your time, play something better. Reddit touted how amazing it is, and it looked quite interesting visually and from the descriptions so i tried it... a lot... Its just not a good game. There are way too many character values that dont respond or work like they seem and there is no explanation how they actually work, even searching online brings you nowhere, because the functionality of most stats changed vastly over the years and patches. Characters die constantly, which feels awful, because death being a threat is one thing, but you can literally die in a single enemy turn with no way to prepare, load or escape. Most of the story is just repeating miscellaneous quests with no interesting writing or anything. The combat itself is convoluted and complex for the sake of complexity with no sense, there would be so many ways to streamline the stats and functionality to make it make more sense and just be better, but they chose not to. The actual dungeon runs are slow, with most "encounters" i.e. objects you find not doing anything but being traps in disguise, so just ignore them. Traps are also often unavoidable even if detected and prepared for. The random dungeon map sounds fun at first, but once you see that you can run into a deadend and then slowly with a lot of loading screens have to go back THROUGH ALL ROOMS AND WALKWAYS YOU ALREADY WENT THROUGH WITH NOTHING NEW HAPPENING you see how much time is wasted literally doing nothing but walking. Seriously, the game is a severe disappointment and utter waste of time. I 100% the game because i wanted to give it a fair chance, but even with various mods and following dedicated builds to reduce strain it still took me way too long to get through this slog of a game...

Its just another game that uses RNG to masquerade as difficulty. Boring after a while, nice artwork.

要是新的dlc出来导致我的mod爆炸，你们的老冯全都得飞上天

Extremely RNG-dependent and several mechanics end up being the complete and undisputed meta(stuns and high speed), leading to specific combinations and playstyles being objectively the best while others are heavily punished and result in tedious gameplay with large setbacks

This is game has so much going for it. But the design is horrible. If you don't look up how a boss fight dungeon is before hand. There's a high chance you might not have a decent composition for it and will just force lose the boss fight. I like punishing games, but this game genuinely feels bad consistently A lot of the basic combat feels very nice, you can pick a ton of different compositions and win reliably if you know what you're doing. But the developers have forced trial and error into the game, which I don't like. I would not recommend it to anyone whose even remotely close to a casual gamer. You will get a lot of good runs going and then just get hard stopped and lose.

A strategy or turn based combat game needs perfect information to keep me interested. I don't enjoy random turn orders. Random hits chances and damage are fine, great even. But I know what those chances are before I make a decision. If I don't know what character is going next then I just feel no sense of engagement. Also the story was kind of lacking and the combat wasn't varied enough to be interesting.

For me literally unplayable without mods. This game is not just hard, its unfair. The RNG in this game is....maybe the worst i ever had in a game. I even died in the Tutorial. So i would say this is only for Masochists if u play vanilla. I play it with mods and i have -a little- fun with it. but even then there a situation where the RNG is...just stupid.
