The Lantern of the Laughless Saint

FANTASTIC game. SO much freedom and expression of creativity possible. Barely dipped the surface of whats possible with spells, but very excited for more. The game could do with some explanation of equipment and how to swap weapons etc, as i don't believe the F key comes up in the keybinds section, so trying to equip spells in combat with R was not working well. Realised this later how to do it and it became so much better, it just needs to be explained somehow. Playing through with a friend makes this amazing, especially with pvp turned on and the minimal consequence of death. I kept thinking throughout, this game knows how to make FUN. Its just pure FUN. Heavily recommend to those who enjoyed skyrim's learn through using style level ups. [spoiler] Travelled for hours across the map in the hopes of finding a mage in a tower, got there, told "no". and refused further help till we did something. A lot of the NPCs wont help you unless you do something for them. Our journey there was more than worth the price though, and we discovered a lot of cool things along the way. [/spoiler] 10/10, would levitate down someone's chimney to find ... something ... again. Utter Lunacy!

I like it a lot

haha funny game 78 / 100

I was excited for this one from the moment I saw the trailer, but also afraid of my expectations. Would it really be Scrolls-like? I played Morrowind again recently (and the Oblivion remaster), and they are great but had their flaws. Is that was I am throwing money at, a Morrowind copy that lives in the rose tinted memory of 2002. No, this is everything you wanted Morrowind to be, and more. Better quests, great NPCs, good voice acting, but above all: Intrigue mystery, fresh story, fresh world and a focused game with a real hook from the moment you arrive. Where Elder Scrolls games are sprawling and you forget the main quest half the time, in LOTLS all the quests, the world, the stories and the motivations of the NPCs are driven by the main plot, and so are you. With the main reason to play in the bag, you also have freedom to play how you like, and that doesn't mean you completely hamstring yourself by choosing melee or magic, it all works, and scales fairly well. mobs don't get tougher automatically so you can enjoy investing into your build and get rewarded for playing well. tougher mobs exist as you explore and overall this works well. It is early access but I cant stop exploring the game. I fully recommend it to anyone who likes RPG exploration and Scrolls like games. I'm looking forward to Quality of life enhancements, and to see how far the Devs take it, but as it stands its totally playable, even in its current form

this game looks great. Morrowind is one of my favorite games and this game looks like it has a lot of potential but it crashes nonstop and is currently unplayable so I would not recommend buying at this time. I'll change this review if/when I actually get to play it. Update: updated my driver and made sure everything on my computer was up to date, uninstalled game and reinstalled it. Game no longer opens, now sits at a black screen and will not stop the process until computer is restarted. Update 2: I downloaded the mod that allows you to skip the opening cinematic and that allowed me to successfully get to the main menu, however the game will freeze within 20 seconds of loading a save and still continues to not close until the computer is shut off. The game looks super fun but as of this moment is completely unplayable. Update 3: This will be my final update. I tried for a couple hours on a brand new pc and older laptop, both fully updated and without previous issues, the game either freezes or crashes within 60 seconds of loading I save. The freezes and crashes occur regardless of what I do so I can only assume there is no specific action triggering the incidents. I look forward to when this game is in a more stable state because it looks awesome but until then I'm giving up. tldr: freezes/crashes constantly.

Good game, but buggy

All I've been able to think about since release. So many things I hope to see knowing The Lantern of the Laughless Saint takes place immediately before The Holy Fool. GIVE ME MORE. Also ♥♥♥♥ YOU TODD HOWARD

Must get to tower
