Is this game mostly an inventory management game like Divinity Original Sin 2? I tried playing it but I was just clicking around menus 80% of the time.

I don't know, the brief time I spent with D:OS2, there was quite a lot of inventory shenanigans.

Right back at you. It's pretty obvious what the GP meant.

This is a well-known criticism of the game though. Even putting rune mgmt and crafting aside, after dinging a new level, you should be hitting up the vendor and upgrading/selling gear so that you can deal with enemies at your new level effectively. And you do that process x4 because you are managing 4 characters. I personally didn't mind the ceremony too much but I can definitely see how some people would be put off by it.
