It blends elements of traditional role-playing games like The Elder Scrolls with the freedom of modern sandbox-style games such as Terraria or Stardew Valley.
There is a trailer and a free demo available on the Steam page:

Procedural Generation
My ambition with Vagabond is to generate worlds as interesting and living as possible to be the playground of fun role-playing adventures. I want to take advantage of procedural generation to create worlds full of details. I also believe that it will allow to create more dynamic worlds as it is possible to generate events, stories and characters on the fly.
Contrary to most sandbox games with procgen worlds, worlds in Vagabond are fully generated before the game starts and aren’t infinite because the different parts of the worlds are deeply interconnected. NPCs are aware of the world and …

Recently, thanks to PS Plus Premium I’ve played “ICO Classics HD”. Sadly, the game is only playable through streaming - which is a shame and a joke.
ICO is the first game of Team Ico and the first game fully directed and designed by Fumito Ueda. The game was released in 2001 as a PS2 exclusive and in 2011 was remastered in HD for PS3.
Hidetaka Miyazaki in an interview for the 20th anniversary of ICO famously said that the game changed his life. In retrospect, ICO and Dark Souls have some similarities, even if it sound prreposterous. This is a testment of ICO timeless beauty, that inspired and continues to inspire artists around the world.
At the beginning of the game a group of people take Ico, a child born with horns, in a castle in the mist to banish him. They imprison him in the castle beacuse his deformity is an omen of curse. Ico manages to break free and encounters a girls whose skin is paler than snow. The girl, Yorda, cannot talk in the same language as Ico …

Are there any games in the past that you only bought for the graphics or because it was using a certain technology that you were interested in trying?
