Hate to be a cynic, but it appears a little more difficult to navigate with a controller than the current dash. I hate to see the system catered to the Kinect like this. I'll reserve judgement until I hands on with it.
Though it does seem clear that MS is looking for ways to further advertise us. I imagine that big central block is going to be filled with all manner of devious junk to click on once this launches.
Went out of my way to read the Wikipedia synopsis and watch YouTube videos of Portal 2 cause I was sick of everyone calling it Game of the Year the day they finished it.
@antoniocmf: IMO, it's even more useful for a warrior, since it offers a lot of utility, which warriors don't typically have and it's all mana free, so you can keep your Gargle Blaster buff up at all times. When your primary function is to just stand in one place and whack on bad guys, it seems like the more buffs you can have on you the better and if you stack all the available buffing shrooms, you can turn yourself into a really nasty tank.
@Demoskinos: It's really great. It's a little tedious now the way you have to keep summoning and planting spores, but this is apparently being addressed in the next patch. It gives you a literal endless supply of all the game's mushrooms. http://www.dredmorwiki.com/wiki/Mushrooms I use it primarily for the HP and MP healing shrooms to supplement/conserve potions I make with alchemy (mostly due to limited rust). The buffing ones are pretty useful too, especially if you're a melee character, but as a mage I rarely get hit so I don't bother with them much.
It also has access to a couple of pets that are kind of weak compared to the fire/golem pets, but they are mana free to cast and can be used to draw aggro off of you, which can be very helpful.
Fungal is one of the few skills (along with Archaeology IMO) that's useful for any class/setup.
