I'm particularly enjoying this game for the nostalgic feel and because it doesn't hold your hand with quest markers and point you in the direction you need to go. You have to figure that stuff out and EXPLORE. There's no world map (though I was told this is coming...which I'm almost a bit sad about, despite missing it sometimes lol), no automapping - just a little minimap around you (and only above ground - in dungeons you don't even get that!). For some, this may seem horrible, but it actually really affects the game design in a good way and forces you to learn about the world and explore it. It's far more immersive than modern games and honestly, a lot more fun.

If you like old-school games that really feel like old-school and not just punishing grind-fests, you'll enjoy this game. Like all old games, it's tough for the first couple of levels, but then things balance out as you get enough to gear up a bit and it becomes much more fun. Try it and give it a chance - I suspect you'll enjoy it.
