    Absolutely brilliant game. Especially enjoyed all the Scottish references and jokes. You can tell the dev poured a lot of heart and soul into this game. Heartfelt story, moving musical score and retro inspired graphics straight from the golden era of classic RPGs. Also ridiculously good value. A must play for any RPG fan.

    I really want to like Cairn--it's clear that a lot of love went into its design--but the way it's balanced right now isn't fun. Each encounter carries out like a small boss battle where you really have to be judicious with your healing items and spells. There are several spots early on where you can easily soft lock the game because you've run out of healing items and are unable to reach a shop or a healing spot.…
