What players say
Players are split on Stirring Abyss. Many praise its Lovecraftian atmosphere and solid tactical combat, but a vocal group complains about mandatory ironman saves, a lack of manual saves, poor UI, and limited content that makes the game feel abandoned. Difficulty is polarizing: some find it brutally hard while others say it is easy on normal.
