I've randomly heard about this game but I have/had no idea what it is. I looked into it a little and it looks like it's gotten a lot of praise, especially in the 'choices matter' sorta way.

Is the core gameplay actually cool or is it grindy/boring? Or is it like Papers Please where the grindiness plays a bigger role. I think as long as it's not turn based mashing A, it shouldn't be too bad.

There is no grind at all. The game is entirely dialogue and skill checks.

It's fucking awesome.

Boy you're in for a ride.

Probably the game with the absolute best narrative of all times. Regarding your question, it's... Neither tbh. It's truly unique. If you have the means of "trying" it before buying, do so and see how you like the first couple hours.

It's definitely one of those games you keep coming back to every once in a while, I've done like 6 different playthroughs.

If you like RPGs in the truest sense like a Fallout 1 and 2 and/or literature then you should love it. If you like RPGs like modern RPGs where there is no actual role playing elements just action games with gear then you won't like it.

while there's no grinding, you can level up parts of your psyche, iirc, or take on different mind states (I forget what they're called specifically), and that can all help you out with the likelihood of skill checks passing (but you can still pass with a low skill check percentage/fail with a high skill check percentage).

No, it's pretty much a CRPG.

Have you ever played Planescape: Torment?

Like that, but without the combat engine.
