Darkest Dungeon - Review @ Blogcritics
January 18th, 2016, 20:43
Blogcritics has reviewed Darkest Dungeon:
Darkest Dungeon is from a small developer called Red Hook and is a hard game to quantify; it is an RPG and a Dungeon Crawl; it is a Rogue-like and a psyche simulator; it is a also a revolutionary title that has to be played to truly understand how cool it can be. Red Hook has worked diligently on this title since 2012 with a small but dedicated team; a successful Kickstarter in 2014 helped fuel development and a strong launch in Steam Early Access gave them the audience and funds they need to continue. That is a very good thing because the game is compelling, addictive, and has a depth that makes coming back to this fun yet brutal game nearly compulsive.More information.

Summary: Darkest Dungeon is tough and at times stressful but incredibly addictive to play due to brilliant mechanics and presentation.
Score: 4.5/5

Strange. This appears to be a review of the existing Early Access build, and not the full version at all. I mean, not much will probably change between now and tomorrow except the end-game (the Darkest Dungeon) being implemented, but I don't think it's very responsible to review a game you can't even complete and see all the way to the end.

You don't think it's "responsible"? 99% of game reviewers are getting paid nothing to write about games. Most aren't even getting a free copy to review.
