It's nice that the devs are smart enough to implement genre standard QoL improvements early on instead of having to be pestered for them, but that doesn't change the fact that its a 20 dollar game with a 20 dollar IP charge tacked on. Also the EGS taint never washes off.

Your reasoning is sound but wrong in this case. I gave up alcohol a few months ago.

Necro! So I had forgotten this came out, but husband caught it on sale so we've been trying it out. Just doing story difficulty through the campaign mode. I'm really enjoying it for the most part. Haven't played these survival games before, but jesus, I could spend the entire day just going around cleaning up Moria, lol. It's oddly satisfying. Combat's a bit jank, there's some issues we've run into with pacing of upgrades, but overall it's been fun, the environments are great and the building is fun. Don't have another survival game to compare to, but so far it's been worth it to us.

Nice. I also saw it pop up when it went on sale a bit ago too and was wondering if they cleaned it up since launch. It sounded like there were some issues on release, but couldn't find any recent reviews on it to see if or how much changed.

There's definitely some jank, though I don't know how it compares to original release. See mobs stuck in walls a lot, sometimes when I port I just fly off into the ether, loading times when trying to pass between larger areas sometimes really suck (the mist at room transitions), etc.

Been having a lot of fun, even with the janky combat. Could see this being fun with friends. DM me if you want to have a game night.

I played it at release and got through a lot of the story. I personally thought it was pretty good. There was some stuff that needed to be rebalanced but, overall, an interesting game. I was surprised that it didn't blow up, given it is in the Tolkien universe and does and faithfully captures the feeling of being in that part of it, but maybe modern kids don't know Tolkien.
Hopefully they have fixed some of the jank in the past year. I have been trying to get some of my gaming buddies to jump into it.

Finished the campaign the other night. Feels like it ended a little abruptly. There's also a thing you pick up during your run that you saw a hole for previously, but then they don't let you go back and stick it in, which was annoying. Would have been cool to at least see what happens if you did?
I threw up a sandbox mode with my character just to see how it's different and also just going to go through and play Moria clean-up crew on it when I need to de-stress.

5gb update. This has become my goto when I just want to chill. It's a nice change from the second job every MMO seems to have become. I hate logging into a game and immediately needing to do 1-2 hours worth of daily tasks, events, and mini games, just to feel like I am not screwing myself over.
Started a fresh character, re doing the story, and watching my piles of stuff grow. It's damn satisfying.

Played this the other night for 4 hours w a friend and then 2 more on my own after he got off.
Definitely interesting. Progression feels a bit awkward but being able to repair a run down dwarf/elf house and make it your own has been fun!
The last two hours solo were just me tearing stuff down and building around it. Pretty neat. I just don’t like how much weaker the walls I build are compared to the buildings you can repair.

Was this your first four hours in the game? Did you guys move on from your first base?
I wish this game had been more popular. There is something very enjoyable about it. Still planning to play it when I can get some people to be into it. Hopefully some of the jankiness has been fixed since release.

Yeah we played a couple of nights. Need to hop back in now that I’ve discovered the mines of Moria.
Built our second base in the elf area.

Just finished up my first complete playthrough of this. Overall, pretty solid, and just needed a little more work, particularly on resources and progression, to be something really special. They put a lot of energy into building assets but the building system becomes clunky beyond the basics and isn't really a building game anyway; you're basically reclaiming existing facilities. Some of that energy would have been well spent tuning progression, and resources, balancing buffs, armor, weapon, etc., imo.
Overall, compelling story, they did a nice job of bringing it to life. I would play the expansion.
