I played a few hours when i had game pass,
Good mood, good art work, good music, goes well with the feel of the game.I think it was developed for french and you can kinda tell, worth a play, specially on game pass…but yeah it rates well

It's amazing :)

Amazing art and soundtrack (play with good headphones).
Story and gameplay are great.

I feel like such an outlier compared to the masses but it was only a solid 7~8 out of 10 for me.
You'll either love or hate the gameplay loop (As someone going in blind at launch expecting a pure turnbased JRPG experience, I needed to download a mod to even finish it and I got zero joy from the combat), The final Act/story direction is divisive and turns a lot of people away too.
And there's just a bunch of smaller QoL and bad-UI design that feel off or unpolished too which added up and were enough to bother me.
(For instance you literally can't even manually save your game since it relies on checkpoints… common advice from the community on how to 'save' on the worldmap is to unequip a costume or a skill so that it triggers an autosave.. I mean it's 2026, COME ON.. 🙄)
Skill issue

Just finished it and it's good and I enjoyed it, but I feel it's not as good as the hype.

Has been my favourite game of the past 10 years or so.

Personally the best/top 3 game I've played in 30 years of gaming.
Have to be careful to not overhype it, but if you love final fantasy type games you'll likely love it.

I like it. Well presented JRPG type with french influence. The parry/counter mechanics gives it a little rhythm mini game vibe.

One of my favourite games of all time. I love turn based games so I'm biased, but the story has also stayed with me since I first finished it a year ago.

Really enjoyed the game. Storyline, gameplay, etc. up there with masterpieces.

I knew it won a bunch of awards, but it just didn't look like my type of game, not into turn based etc. Tried it on gamepass and just finished a few days ago. It was amazing, highly recommend

Probably one of the best games I’ve played

Do the devs earn less when we buy from this site

If you really care about that just buy it at full price from another platform…

It's a fair question. I'd use gg deals and toggle off keyshops, that way you can buy it from offical stores and know you are supporting the devs. It's also on gamepass, might be the way to go if you think you can put 50 hours in during a month.

Buy full price, ask devs for their paypal account and donate.

Most certainly. At best it would be a grey market resell I.e. purchased from a different region where they’re cheaper so devs would earn less per copy sold.
Worst case is black market I.e. stolen keys (usually with fraudulent credit cards) in which case the devs get nothing.
CD keys is a grey market seller so would be the former case.
Buy directly from Epic (12% cut) at full price, if you want to give more to the devs that way.
Directly from Steam is probably the next option (down to 20% cut based on their sales current revenue, I believe).
After that would be GOG or consoles (30% cut).

The money for these keys was already given to the devs months ago. They get nothing from this sale.
Significantly less overall, but it's fully paid upfront. The dev gets about 70% of the sticker price.
Cd keys is a grey market seller (this seller) negotiates with the developer/distributer and they bulk buy keys from a cheap region. Maybe they buy 10,000 licenses from Turkey @80% Turkish RRP.
On the other hand, Cd keys pays in advance. It's an important part of pre-sales. It's not sales over 3 months, it's all cash today. That can help fund game development (or artificially boost sales numbers to get on popular lists.)
The developer agreed to this in advance. They like this deal.

Considering it's made by Devs that has never played video games or has very limited exposure to video games it has done very well for themselves 😀
Huh?
… Have you got this confused with a completely different game from a completely different dev studio?
The CEO/Creative Director and CTO/Lead Programmer are both former Ubisoft, with work on multiple AAA titles. Every single member of the key E33 dev team has multiple non-casual titles listed in their "favorite games". The only exception is the office admin, and the "Happiness Manager" (literally a dog).
This is something you can find right there on their official website.

Currently playing through this. Almost nearing the end at 50 hours, but it's been an amazing game. Highly recommended.

Loaded is cdkeys.com
They changed their name recently.

TIL thanks!

how come? owner change?

CDKeys.com rebranded to Loaded in September 2025 to modernize their image, citing that the old name was outdated, caused search confusion, and didn't reflect the digital nature of modern game redemption.

Waiting for GOG version to go this price (or less)

Haven't been to work in 3 weeks.
Thanks for tempting me with this deal.
