I played in Preludes (early access) until a month or two ago.
- It generally looked good, and some of the environments were downright beautiful.
- Some areas were unreasonably dark, making it difficult to see enemies standing a few steps away.
- Music was pretty good.
- Weapon variety seemed good, but I can't say for sure. (I spent most of my time with bow and dagger, so I didn't get much experience with the others.)
- Combat was decent.
- Character builds involved a bunch of different systems that were not explained, but could be learned from the forums or through experimentation.
- Quests and dungeons were a little buggy, but not so much as to make the game unplayable.
- Enemies in the main map quickly became tedious. Most of them were the same, and they constantly got in the way while I was trying to go somewhere.
- Fast travel uses per day were limited.
- Foot travel barriers (mainly walls and mountains) made traversing the map needlessly annoying.
- The main trader and leader of one of the factions constantly sneezed in my face.
- The trader's mini-game was interesting, but without rewards, pointless.
- The focus on nature was a nice change of pace.
- Story and NPCs were very shallow.
