Expedition 33.

It won practically every single award even tho didn't really deserve it.

Not an indie game either.

Yeah I bought it on GOG based purely on the hype. Mistake. I played maybe 10h, got throught the introductory areas and started the main game. I just couldn’t. I am not sure why it gets so much praise.

Oh yeh that looked cool I was pretty pumped about that. Is it not so good after all?

Obviously tastes differ. I thoroughly enjoyed it and felt it deserved the praise.

The setting is original.
Turn based with Parry/Dodge isn't original (super Mario RPG) but it's pretty satisfying here
The stat/build system is fairly original and gives a lot of depth
I thought the story was a solid examination of grief

If you enjoy RPGs it's very good. Great soundtrack, good story, and to me very fun combat loop. Most of my friends love it too. But some people seem to bounce off it. It won every award for a reason.

To me the game very much lived up to the hype and I'd highly recommend giving it a try

It was very pretty, and the soundtrack deserved the praise it received. Nothing too innovative about the gameplay though, and the story was good but typical for this genre.

That being said, I did enjoy it a lot. But that gameplay style is one of my favorites, so the visuals and music were just perks.
