I was wondering how to describe what I love about the game, and it's very difficult to put into words. You know what a fantasy adventurer is. In this game you play as an analogue that is grounded in historical reality. A mercenary. You don't fight because you want to save the world. If you save people you do it because that puts food on your table. Because life is expensive and you don't have a luxury of choosing a less dangerous line of work. And it is the most dangerous line of work there is. Do you know those medieval swordsmen with silly hats and clown pants, the landsknechts? I used to hate their look, and disliked any setting featuring that attire. Did you know that the reason they dressed like clowns was because the emperor of the holy roman empire explicitly exempted them, and only them, from sumptuary law that forbade others from wearing something not fitting their social status? His reasoning: these men live a short life and die a gruesome death, they deserve to have some freedom to wear what they want. The mercenaries took pride in this privilege, and wore ridiculous clothing as a badge of honor and a symbol of their status. That should also tell you what a real life adventurer's life was like. A sword or a breastplate was as expensive as a year's salary, and that gear is what feeds you. You aren't much different from any other man, and death is a certainty. You aren't immune to pointy sticks, so it doesn't take much for you to die in combat. Your employer will take any opportunity to get out of paying you on a formality. What money you do earn will be spent on recovering from combat and trying to avoid starvation. You don't have the luxury of taking the high road, you have to be callous and resourseful. Taking advantage of your employer's desperation, eating anything that you can get on the road, scavenging and hunting whenever you can. But. Unlike anyone else you are not bound by land or family obligation. Another word for your profession is a freelancer. And you are free. Go wherever you want, explore the world. If you are lucky to score a big contract, you get to eat like a king and drink like a camel until money runs dry. You may not have a wife, but in time your band becomes your family. And if nothing else, your work is exciting. Every fight can be the last, and every victory is a triumph. This game may seem unfair and unnecessarily cruel. And it is. That's the vibe. You are outnumbered and outmatched. You don't win by being stronger than you enemy, you win by investing way too much into preparing for the fight. Greed kills in this game more often than swords. Forget saving that potion for later, get used to bying more bandages than you need only to leave them behind when looting the spoils. The alternative is bleeding out to a humiliating death. Thread carefully, fight dirty, use everything at your disposal, and you may live to see another day. I can't recommend this game enough.

Honestly I am just waiting for the custom character to come out before I play the game again.

Stoneshard is easily top 5 best RPGs on Steam. A brutally honest, complex, and masterfully crafted dark medieval fantasy that does not care about your feelings. This game will frustrate you, it will punish your mistakes, it won’t hold your hand, offer you mercy, or give you any kind of modern gaming comfort. If you’re used to casual, brain-dead games where the UI plays for you, walk away. Stoneshard is a dark and unforgiving RPG made for grown-ass people who enjoy suffering their way into greatness. Every dungeon you beat feels like a personal triumph, every death, a lesson. The atmosphere is incredible, the combat system is deep, and the build diversity is insane. I’ve put over 200 hours into this game, tested every possible build, and reached the endgame with all of them. They all work. The game is shockingly well-balanced for something this flexible. Now for the flaws: It’s SLOW. Like, painfully slow. I refuse to play this game without speedhack, 3x or even 5x, enabled through Cheat Engine. It's not even optional at this point, it’s mandatory. The devs need to add native speed control, because right now it's a joke how sluggish the pacing is. It's been in Early Access since forever. Five years and counting, and no 1.0 in sight. The scope keeps expanding, the roadmap keeps stretching, and it’s starting to feel like this game will be in EA until humanity goes extinct. Personally, I don’t mind, because each major update is a content bomb that always brings me back, but still, don’t expect closure anytime soon. Despite that, Stoneshard remains one of the most hardcore, rewarding, and intelligently designed RPGs I’ve ever played. Come for the suffering, stay for the dopamine. Score: 9.5/10

This game can be very unforgiving at times. However, I feel that it occupies a perfect spot in-between classic and modern RPGs. Difficult, with a focus on trial-and-error + hints embedded in lore. But also flushed out, with good visuals and mechanics. I waited for over a year for the Rags to Riches update to come out, and so far it's been amazing. It fixes a lot of my complaints with the game, and I would wholeheartedly recommend this game now.
