✓ Fits the isometric Action RPGs cluster, with deep RPG systems, action RPG combat and dark, oppressive atmosphere

≠ Stands apart with adventure storytelling, strong narrative focus and horror setting, while skipping combat magic

That flexibility is also the criticism — builds are largely decided by set bonuses, so character identity comes from gear drops rather than from choices you make.
