**NEW PLAYER POV**

I really wish I didn't have to choose whether I recommend or don't recommend this game, because it's based on what you, as a consumer can bare with.

The game is definitely not perfect in any sense, As a newcomer to all of the hype surrounding Bless coming to NA, I didn't know what was promised and what wasn't. I didn't have any expectations coming into this game.

Here are the positives, The map is gorgeous, the aesthetic is absolutely lovely. It reminds me of the old MMORPGs that I used to play, with all the concepts being fairly similar. I like that It's not pay to win (at the time that I'm writing this). Honestly, I'm enjoying the game, but there are problems.

TRANSLATIONS: Many people complain about the translations. It says 2Level instead of Level 2 (Just saying, in your inventory, when you are looking at equip requirements for items, yes it says Level 11 or whatever). One of the bigger problems is that the developers didn't proofread the translations for the quests. The story scripts and dialogue seem to be fine (4 hours in game) but some of the quests (I've seen two so far) are hard to interpret. The first one many people complain about is "Combat Poison" when it should be "Combat Stance or Combat Poise". I got through that one without any trouble because I already looked through my skills menu, and i knew what Title Skill the quest was referring to.

PERFORMANCE: This one is really convoluted. Personally, I run the game just fine (I share the recommended settings for this game (i7-core GTX-1070, 16GB RAM) at 60fps+ in Fullscreen 1920x1080. At some points, however, I did have to lower the settings to improve performance in some areas. It didn't really affect the experience too much, just that while walking through a popular city, my framerate may have been choppy and below 60 frames.

SUMMARY: If you don't think you can run the game, don't buy it, unless you are actually satisfied with a slideshow. It's going to be really hard for the devs to optimize performance, as they already released the full game and the storage space is masssive!!!. If you haven't talked to Non-English Immigrants before, and you don't like trying to interpret/decipher what they are talking about, don't play this game.

Honestly, I think people overreact sometimes, but hey, maybe the hype really skewed people's expectations for this version of Blessed. I really enjoy the gameplay and how the game looks (besides the fact that I can't move the camera upwards and I'm looking at the ground all the time). I see the potential, and I encourage people to stay optimistic. Who knows? Maybe we do see some improvements in the future.
