Picked this up on a whim and ended up playing it every evening for two weeks

Picked this up on a whim and ended up playing it every evening for two weeks. If Action, RPG, Sim is your thing, We Who Are About To Die delivers it without much filler. It helps that the premise (The Ultimate Gladiator Simulator. Fight & strategize through spectacles and) actually shows up in the moment-to-moment play. Short sessions work fine here; I rarely lost progress to a bad checkpoint. Checkpoints are frequent enough that a bad run never feels punishing. Worth it, especially on sale.

Picked this up on a whim and ended up playing it every evening for two weeks. The Action, RPG, Sim mix is what kept me playing; We Who Are About To Die knows what it wants to be. It helps that the premise (The Ultimate Gladiator Simulator. Fight & strategize through spectacles and) actually shows up in the moment-to-moment play. The difficulty curve is gentle at first and then asks more of you, which felt right. Performance was solid on my machine, no crashes across a full playthrough. Worth it, especially on sale.
