Din's Legacy

Din's Legacy has a lot of interesting ideas but the execution leaves much to be desired. The game relies heavily on procedurally generated content and uses it to generate scenarios for the player to complete. These scenarios include randomly generated map with goals, missions, dungeons, NPCs, enemies and loot. However the end result is maps with geometry that's all over the place, illogical environments with containers and other intractable elements placed in locations that make little sense, very random difficulty spikes caused by randomly generated enemies, events, win or lose conditions. Level up progression is also very random giving player very little control over how player character "mutates" which can be really annoying if you are going for a certain type of build. Worst of all since everything feels so random and illogical most scenarios start feeling the same very quickly. It also doesn't help that the combat feels clunky and unresponsive and the audio visual representation of the game feels very dated. Generally the game feels like you're playing some sort of very confusing MMORPG from early 2000's. There's still a lot to like in the game like ridiculous amount of playable classes which you can mix and match to your hearths content. Beating a long and difficult scenario, looting good gear or gaining crazy strong mutation to one of your skills still feels good. However to get to the good parts one needs to be able to forgive and go past almost insurmountable amount of jank.
