Magic Research

First, the good: this is a great, deep, and detailed game. Have been playing for 2 weeks, retired once, and only just scratching the surface.
The bad: the UI layout is awful and really affects the gameplay, especially for a grind-type of game. Here’s a few examples:
1. The right hand side panel with “Magic Research” at the top contains the main options, sometimes the time speed up section, your resources, your experience, your stats, and your buffs - it’s super annoying to have constantly scroll up and down this long list to find what you need.
2. When in Exploration / Combat, the Items tab shows a cut-off view of the inventory with a huge blank space below, when it could clearly show all of the inventory.
3. In the Cast Spells panel, you can add spells to the top in Favorites. However, that panel can only be scrolled up and down when clicking on the “By Schools” section at the bottom. If the Favorites section becomes too large, it’s annoying to locate the small section of “By School” just to scroll the panel
4. The Event panel is largely useless and takes up way too much space that could be used by the other panels.
It’s a shame that such a great game engine is let down by a poor UI layout.

Fun game but a few things that make me want to completely stop playing are. At some point you can become stunned for a full minute. Unable to do anything in the game even craft. This has happened multiple times while fighting bosses which means an imminent death as you can’t cast a single spell. Also a mechanic that I cannot imagine why is in this game is bosses can just run away from fights. And fights that can take up too half an hour, 30 minutes into a fight and they have 20% of their health left and they can just flee. A Ridiculous boss mechanic and a waste of my time.

The game got boring after less than an hour. Just repetitive content with irrelevant content to make you do more work than needed. I regret paying money for this as I won’t be playing it again.
