One of Steam's Highest-Rated RPGs Knows Exactly Why Being the Healer Is So Miserable

If you ask anyone who's spent real time in an MMO raid group what the worst role to main is, healer always wins by a landslide. Not because the class design is bad, as healers are often some of the most mechanically rich archetypes in the game and can provide a huge amount of value to virtually any setup, but because the job comes with all the responsibility and none of the control. That specific, deeply relatable misery is the entire premise of one of Steam's best-reviewed games of the last few months: Master Healer Kale with useless party. Taking the concept of a healer struggling to keep the whole party alive, you get to be the real difference maker in a variety of dungeons and boss battles that feel very akin to those in a much larger game.
