..kind of get the impression that the game is seriously awesome. And now I want to play it, even though I don't really understand why :D

Not sure I can come up with a good critique, though. But.. couple of things:
-I think it's "safe word".
-"(...) humor in the developers[..direly affected the humour of the developers..?],[

tbh that was the only paragraph I was having difficulty conveying. How do you tell someone something is funny without either A: giving away the punchlines or B: just going "seriously, it's funny, trust me"

v0v blame emp :P

Also the safe word quote is direct from the game, whether that's a misquote of Family Guy I dunno.


No.

I played the demo and was unimpressed, though everyone who actually played it loves it. All my friends who played it finished it already, so there goes my chance at multiplayer. I'll probably play it eventually.

Very effective, short review! I will say a few things:

The developers worked hard since release, however, and rekeased daily patches

Did you mean "released"?

only instead of running around bashing everything, you instead attempt to combine

Might be more effective with only one "instead".

or even attempting to channel electricity while your robes are soaked will quickly learn you otherwise

I'm not sure if it was for effect, but I think "learn" might be "teach".

Again, very effective review! I still have this one my wishlist on Steam, but until I finish a few more games and obtain some more cash, it's not likely that I'll get it in the future.

Ah, the old 'blame EmP' routine. Still in fashion after all these years.

Good review, Blah.

How do you tell someone something is funny without either A: giving away the punchlines or B: just going "seriously, it's funny, trust me"

The game encourages you to have fun with spells but also cautions about the dangers of spell use. For example you can dry yourself with the fire spell but if you are not wet then using fire on yourself is a bad idea. We could probably all guess that but the game has a unique, and funny, way of telling you about that.

Something like that might work.

You need to fix this sentence.

The developers worked hard since release, however, and rekeased released daily patches until the game had become stable..

The chances of you killing yourself in a an explosive fashion are high
