Is The Lantern of the Laughless Saint Worth It in 2026?
8/10
An unusually faithful Morrowind homage that borrows the structure rather than the look: use-based skills, spell crafting, and directions given in conversation instead of markers. It is rough, honest about being rough, and patched daily.
Pros
- ✅ Spell crafting and alchemy are real systems, not menu dressing
- ✅ The entire campaign is playable in co-op, including split screen
- ✅ The Amphitheater records failure as progress instead of demanding clean outcomes
- ✅ Seven builds in the first five days, including a whole new playable race
Cons
- ❌ Genuinely buggy at launch — over 40 fixes shipped in a single day-two hotfix
- ❌ The UI and inventory are widely described as confusing
- ❌ Crashes on outdated Nvidia drivers, which the developers had to warn about directly
- ❌ No documentation: no cast list, item database or command reference
