    How is this game? It looks interesting, but I don’t know if I should get it now or wait and hope another sale at a lower price comes around?

      The game is really good. Combat is a lot of fun, the skill tree is enormous, the magic is cool, I like the weird rat guy, and it’s neat to be playing a dwarf in a first person fantasy game. And yeah, the graphics are insane. I was constantly stopping to just stare at the view in awe.

      When I picked it up there were only a few hours worth of content. I uninstalled it knowing that I was very, very excited to play more, and resolved to leave it until it’s officially out of early access. It’s a little present to future me.

      This does make the question of whether it’s worth the price a weird one. Technically, the answer would be a no; if development stopped tomorrow and all you got was the game as it exists today, it wouldn’t be worth it.

      But if the finished product remotely delivers on the quality of what they’ve made so far, it will be a steal at $40 or even $50. I honestly think you’d be crazy not to throw the developers ten bucks now for the promise of a game this good. Unless something goes horribly wrong I think it’ll be a very safe bet.

      My GPU got loud (7900xt) when I played it. It’s an ok game but not worth deteriorating your PC. I refunded it.

        It’s ok for GPUs to get loud. They’re made to be used. As long as the temps aren’t going insane using your computer is not deteriorating it.

          I understand because I play Monster Hunter Wilds and the GPU does work a lot. It’s just that if I make the GPU work, then it should be for an exceptional game, like MHWilds. Fatekeeper is definitely not worth doing that.

            It’s not like Fatekeeper is Minesweeper. It’s a pretty nice looking big open world 3D game… if you avoid playing any of those that you don’t already know are awesome yr gonna miss out on a lot of great shit.

              From what I remember it seemed like a linear game rather than open world (which is ok). The reason I don’t think it’s anything special is because I’ve played another game which is much less demanding and more fun. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2629230/The_Adventures_of_Sir_Kicksalot/

              So to me it seems like what sets Fatekeeper apart from a game like Sir Kicksalot is its graphics, which isn’t a top priority for me which is why I refunded Fatekeeper.

                Damn, for a second I thought you linked Sir Whoopass and was shocked anyone else would mention it. But Kicksalot looks good too. Will have to see if it can be run in VR because it looks like it would be perfect to play around with in that. I need an excuse to do something with the damn thing.

    Game looks promising , especially for 10 dollars but it seems like the dev very intentionally made it 10 dollars because of how much work it needs. Considering picking it up …
