Game of the year??

I really don't understand it.

Mostly because it's an game only for people who play regularly.

For me it's very difficult game , very frustrating and irritating. I die and die all the time.

In other games like this you can build up your character , take easier mobs. But not here. I only die and die.

Remind me of Read dead redemption 2. Not so horrible as that game . But this is close .

What is the point with an great story when the game is only for some few players?

I am sure it's great for players who play a lot , but not for all. For me that is not an great game.

Just finished my second attempt at Malice, the first book in The Faithful and the Fallen series. I'm still bored. The characters and world feel uninteresting to me.

The pacing and world-building are fine, and the short chapters are nice — no complaints there. But I still don't care whether any character lives or dies.

I've read a lot of epic fantasy. Recently finished Tad Williams' Last King of Osten Ard and Ryan Cahill's last book of The Bound and The Broken series. Both series were genuinely great. I felt for the characters from book 1.

But Malice just feels really dull in comparison.

I don't understand it.

Now I try "The Grave Empire" by Swan. Looks promising 🥳.
