“I really want to like it, I keep coming back once in a while and it just never clicks for me. It feels like the most run-off-the-mill roguelike out there, with very rudimentary mechanics. It's just not a game I'd invest too much time into…”
“after the most recent update the game just crashes the moment i open it. i have done endless troubleshooting (DX11 mode, Optimize Vram mode, low resolution, 60hz refresh rate, etc) and cannot get the game to run Using Mixed Reality Portal…”
