So I bought the game a while ago, but haven't really been playing it (I need to get into the right headspace). However, I've come to realise something.

This is the first game I've bought for over £40 in a while where I haven't felt scammed or that I'm complicit in something immoral. I feel like they "deserve" the money, which is a strange feeling considering the AAA industry right now.

The game doesn't even include DRM, not even the "free" one you can enable through steam.

I know the feeling. It is the first time I have spent more than 30€ on a game and not regretted it.
