Well, with the last patch being a month and a half ago and reportedly over 50% of Slipgate being fired, entire history of scarce early access patches and how many reworks this game needs, I think it's now safe to say - there is not going to be saving GRAVEN, while Slipgate - just like CDPR cements its reputation as "marketing first, game and development second" studio. There was potential here - people really want games like Dark Messiah or Elderborn - heavy on visceral, first person combat, with exploration and occasional puzzles. This is not it. This is a misguided first-person Metroidvania with a melee combat that can at best compete with Morrowind with its player feedback. Where spells - as one of the other Steam reviews stated - are support only, yet again lacking any feedback and are mostly reserved for low, over-time damage or puzzles, and where the only thing that does any kind of damage are literal equivalents to first-person shooter weapons. Combine that with absurd, out of place stamina system and save system that doesn't store information which mob enemies you have killed and you have an extremely tedious game, where you run through massive maps, filled with brain-dead enemies, having barely any plot to give you a motivation and not even having any atmosphere - it's not fun! Freakin' Underworld Ascendent is more fun than this.
