For me personally, the best game of 2019.

Ill buy when it comes to playstation

Same here. To be honest I'd never even heard of this game until the Game Awards. I searched for it after the show and it looks pretty good.

Game of the year for me, very easily (and among the best of the last decade).
Awesome from start to finish, basically this game should be used as blue print for 90% of the game out there.
If you know a bit about videogames, you will understand why this game is so awesome.
Simply amazing.

[King_Noctis]

I agree. This is one of the best game this year if not the best. The writing is simply amazing, and the awesome casts are truly the centerpiece of this game.

I can’t recommend this game enough.

I really hope this comes to consoles. I've heard nothing but good things about this game.

Nice to see indie games winning awards but watching some gameplay vids of DE this game is not my cup of tea.

[Kurisu]

I watched some gameplay and read a couple reviews and it sounds pretty interesting. It's more text based though so yeah, it won't be for everyone.

Somewhat like playing a visual novel.

Played it at EGX 2018 and have been meaning to buy it! What I played was great!

[TheOptimist]

Narratively it is among the best games(If not the best) of the gen. Gameplay wise, it is a very old school-ish style RPG, definitely will be a climb for many people who are new to this style.

@Optimist

I agree, it plays just like a tabletop style dice based Role Playing Game, with the spoken narrative taking on the role of a traditional Dungeon Master.

Apparently the game was inspired by the traditional Infinity Engine tabletop RPG's, looking at the WIKI page I think they actually intend to turn it into one of these eventually.
