I've read a bit about this game. I'm interested in hearing how players feel about it.

Alright, I bought it, I'm maybe an hour into the game.
As I bought this on Steam I need to form a first impression in less than 2 hours in order to know if I want to refund or not. So far I think I'm going to keep this one.
And this is a strange one, and I don't mean it in a bad way, just different. You play a thief in a post-apocalyptic magic-cyberpunk world. The game is less of an RPG (there are certainly RPG elements, but I wouldn't call the game an RPG per-se based on the first hour), it's more of a top-down sneaking, action-adventure, game.
I don't know yet if sneaking is essential exactly, but it certainly helps to prevent you from getting swarmed by enemies. (and personally I found it rather difficult at least at this stage to deal with more than two or three enemies at the same time)
I'm not far into the game but combat turned out to be quite fun already. You can use different weapons with different attack combos and attack speeds, mixed in with jumping, rolling, dashing, and various "magic" skills - at this point the only "magic" skill I have is a sort of short range dash/teleport. (the magic isn't exactly traditional, to my understanding it's an augmentation system with cybernetics you get your hands on through the game)
Combat is done in real time and requires some measure of player skill, though personally I was never particularly good with brawlers and the like and yet I'm finding the difficulty to be quite manageable. (haven't tried changing difficulty)
There's crafting apparently, and dialogue with choices (well, occasionally, can't speak yet in regard to how meaningful choices are).
I'll post more impressions when I play more and make up my mind. Do you create your own character, and what are the options?

Unfortunately I don't think so, main character is a Thief called Teriel, don't think there is much customization if any.

Witcher+Shadow Tactics ( hugely underrated that one, well not really, but more a part of very small niche)...I'm in. Wish that crafting would go away, though.

Interesting game with interesting premise. I'm not big fan of isometroc games, but never let that to stop me to enjoy good game. I'm still in the prison's first zone and so far the game is enjoyable. Still can't decide if it's better to play with KB+M or Controller.

So anyone finished this? Thinking of picking it up, but so far seen pretty mixed reviews. Seems like a gem in rough ( like first Witcher).

I want to like it, but I find quite a lot of things rather frustrating. You mean performance or...? Real time tactics game appeal more to niche audience. Unless AI/encounter design is really all over the place.

Yeah, not bad, but not good either.
