Humble changed their pricing model this year, so it’s my last year subscribing, so I want to use a little more discretion and skip some months because they do have “tent poles” that interest me sometimes. This month the tent pole is Persona 5, which I hear is good, but I still have Persona 4 on my backlog and it doesn’t interest me too much.

    I dont recall the combat being too different. You basically smack things until they die.

    The gameplay loop is roughly similar, if a little more fleshed out. Get quests from villagers, create workbench that create things over time. Grab resources from various sources with skills that increase gradually over time. Multiple levels of resource tools, like axes, pickaxes, swords, etc.

    If youre looking for a heavy action game, it’s not a main focus. It’s definitely more on the resource gathering/crafting realm of gameplay.

    Their next game might have more of an action combat focused gameplay loop, as it takes place closer to a cartoon area of the world. I dont imagine it’s going to get anywhere near the typical hack 'n slash action rpg model that’s typical these days.
