I got it “free” on Epic, but this one you actually own.

I also got it for free on Epic but as the game is good I bought it on GOG during some sales last year.

I somehow 'won' that game even though I never got better at the combat.

If you ever feel like doing a second playthrough (the side quests and DLCs are fun) then train with captain Bernard, the captain in Ratttay, he teaches you some combos and blocks that make combat a whole lot more manageable.

You know, I think I even did that. Just doing it with a mouse and getting the timing down did not work for me. I'm more a turn based gamer

I once played this game that was styled as a museum of lockpicking mini games throughout the history of games. Super niche, but I'm in game dev so I eat that stuff up.

In four different places the curator mentioned that the lead developer Daniel Vávra is a terrible human. But they also acknowledged that the lockpicking was unique and interesting in that game. It read something like I imagine a museum with an exhibit of the Nazis enigma machine would - innovation spurred by terrible people.

If you're on the fence about the game, know that the lead dev is a gamergate chud. But if you want a whitewashed and misogynistic game with a thin veneer of "historical accuracy" then I guess the game is on the cheap right now.
