Released a few years ago but didn't hear much about it. Six member party and RTWP combat like Baldurs Gate 1&2, Pillars of Eternity, etc.

This recent review gives a better idea of the game than the trailers:

I have it. played about half of act 2 iirc, before getting distracted with other games.

character creation was a bit odd. unclear what some of the stats do. even looking at guides by mortismal, it was still unclear.

iirc, party acquisition is weird too. like, companions match exp/lvl at recruitment. then only get exp if in the active party. and YOUR exp is divided among the party.
so, if you SOLO as long as you can, then recruit the companions, they will start higher. and recruiting someone, then not running them is real bad, as they fall behind in levels.

world greed system is meh. do a quest. refuse agreed upon reward= +2 charity. do a quest, take agreed upon reward +1 greed. do a quest, demand greater reward +2 greed.

it goes on sale alot. def wait for a sale.
in fact, its 60% off gog atm.
