There's a lot to like about the game (like gameplay), but the gradual drag away from what looked like a dark fantasy game featuring notes of Eldritch Horrors into a colorful/saturated, high-fantasy, jokey romp has been a disappointing feature of the Early Access, especially given what we thought we were promised in early marketing. This isn't people having ridiculous expectations like Cyberpunk... this is people being mad that the direction we thought Larian was taking was somehow a mistake from the start. I saw this mentioned
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiaroscuro as being missing in the new direction and I have to agree.
