No first time player would pay that. The game and DLC go on crazy discount like once a year at least.

I own a bunch, but not all the DLC and have never paid full price.

Also they really should update the UI in the game. It would be fantastic to play on modern 4k and similar resolutions where there’s plenty of room for lots of information density.

I really enjoyed the game when it was first released in early-access on steam. The ability to play through the story with a friend was unique and fun. Unfortunately the Crema team stopped having innovative ideas and just released their version of Pokémon systems. At the time it was nearly impossible to communicate any negative criticism because of rabid fans on the subreddit and devs who seemed to have no interest in communicating with their player base.

This is fantastic and unexpected news!
