Dread Delusion is a game that has some of my favorite RPG writing of all time and thankfully knows it's abilities in other fields. That is to say that the map and exploration is wonderful, the combat is nothing (which I would prefer to it trying to be something and failing. Outside of a complete genre change I see no way that this game would ever end up with astounding combat and it doesn't need it), the writing is impeccable, the music is great, and the art is excellent.

Dread Delusion takes many fascinating routes with its quests. Most major quests turn into a philosophical debate about whatever topic may be at play: subservience that provides comfort, the ability to change oneself, the value that death brings to life, the game covers many interesting topics in its journey and honestly I can't name a weak execution among them.
