Yay! I was not interested at first myself but one dull evening I tried the demo and found it better than I thought. Now I am a fan and also waiting for the official release. I own the EA version but I don't want to burn out on it. I poke around after updates though. Another game a bit out of my usual style I actually enjoy.At first wasn't to interested in playing but after watching some videos the game caught my interest, and now I can't wait for it to be finished to play it. Hopefully sometime next year.
I'm still sad that they didn't add to the story in their big patch#3. Now that their lead developer is gone, it seems we won't even see the promised patch#4 that was supposed to balance the game.I've been in a gaming rut lately and have not enjoyed the last 3-4 games I picked up on various sales. Valheim, Encased, and Gedonia couldn't keep my interest. I was not too fond of the story in Encased.
Agreed, it's very useful to get an idea of what it's really like. Reviews are useful too but they're the "theory" by someone who has specific tastes and expectations. Seeing it live is the "practice" part.I still do not like pure game play streaming, I find that very boring and would rather just play myself, but I do find it useful to see some game play and/or review of mechanics, these days to see if I might like a game.
I didn't know Encased was supposed to get another patch. What's wrong with the balancing? I haven't played it yet other than the demo, but I'm curious.I'm still sad that they didn't add to the story in their big patch#3.

I saw a lot of "honored members" on their Discord, so it doesn't bode very well.
The game becomes too easy once you reach the mid-game, because you get too many skills too quickly. This makes your main character proficient in almost all combat styles, stealth, tech, speech and so on. Not that it would be the only game suffering from that, but they were supposed to improve it.I didn't know Encased was supposed to get another patch. What's wrong with the balancing?

Thanks. I'll keep that in mind and do some research before I start. Whenever that might be.It's also much easier for some builds than others.
That's sad news. Even if the game wasn't perfect, they did a pretty good job; it's mostly a problem of less content at the end, which they could have addressed with a DLC.Dark Crystal Games has shut down so yeah no more content for Encased, and no future games either. I remember the interview we did when the lead developer left.
