I am pleasantly pleased by what I'm seeing with this CRPG. It seems like the writing is quite good. Seems like the characterization is quite good. The combat felt nice to interact with, and it's got its own gimmick.

broad strokes I would say Shadow of the Road seems to be pretty promising though that's probably no surprise given how it's looked up to this point
