The game certainly has potential and I found myself searching for that potential for a few hours... And still never found it.
I was very excited for this one. I played solo on Medium difficulty and after about 6 network error crashes post-tutorial, I noticed the following things:

- The game is a work of art and some things are beautiful to look at. This is of course, overshadowed by clunky controls (I couldn't even walk up the steps of a wagon)

- Character creation has promise but some choices and graphs/grids are simply unintuitive and redundant. The ancestry tree is a cool gimmick but feels like a mundane chore when you could simply just customize your character's appearance.

- Stamina is incredibly punishing, even at Medium difficulty. I went through the trouble of getting an umbrella (which I was stoked for based on the trailers) and some climbing picks to test them out, only to find out that I could only use either of them for about 2 seconds at max stamina. Yes, even after eating.

- The tutorial is painstakingly long. And you can't play multiplayer until you've cleared it. Yes, you have to be online for that as well.

- The graphics I can overlook, but the resource gathering did not look smooth at all and felt very unpolished. This game has the unfortunate timing of going live right after other successful crafting survival games and is comparable in price, but not quality.

TLDR: The game has promise but feels veeery unfinished in its current state. Yes, I can see that it is in early-access, but first impressions do matter and I'm sad to say that Nightingale did not leave a lasting one. Here's to hoping the Baldurs Gate 3 strategy works out for this game.

Wow this was buggy and did not let our multiplayer session respawn.
When trying to restart our session it froze our games and had this crazy loud banging sound on repeat

The end-game is fantastic

There is quite a bit of a learning curve but once you start to understand the core mechanics, this game offers a crazy amount of fun. Haven't played a good MMO like this in a while
