Good concept, poor execution

Elric Ehran
Verified purchase
This is a very neat concept of a game. Everyone that recommended it to me, felt that it was right up my alley as someone who meticulously gathers everything and picks up anything in other games I play. All in all, this was just a very dull and tedious game that checked all the right boxes, but didn't deliver at all.
