[h3]Contro:[/h3] -... purtroppo minato da una trama troppo confusionaria/incongruente/raffazzonata nella gestione - La pessima liquidazione di Birch, e in generale della "battaglia finale" (tra miliardi di virgolette) - I bruschissimi stacchi tra una scena e l'altra, che spesso e volentieri lasciano la sgradevole sensazione di starsi perdendo qualcosa di cruciale alla comprensione organica della storia - Determinati dialoghi scadono nel trash più esilarante - Gameplay altalenante tra il facilissimo e l'IMPOSSIBILE - L'epilogo più bigotto della storia (e ve lo dice un cattolico) - L'assenza del minimo contenuto chiaro in grado di arricchire ulteriormente la saga dell'[i]Azurael's Circle[/i], rispetto alla quale questo capitolo risulta per assurdo (considerandone le intenzioni) incredibilmente superfluo [h3]Osservazione aggiuntiva:[/h3] Dopo averne affrontati due DI FILA (questo e [url=https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198985448870/recommended/1428310/][i]The Test - Final Revelation[/i][/url]), spero di cuore di non aver più a che fare con pessimi sequels videoludici per almeno un anno... [h2]Voto: 2,5/10 e lode[/h2]

Chapter 5 is finally here! And...it's kinda lackluster. I mean, I appreciate that it's finally finished, but this is IMO the weakest of the entries to the series. I really hope the dev does more games, though. Even with this being the weakest, the series overall is spectacular. Really enjoyed it.

This was a good closure to the series. Plays just like the others; solve puzzles, collect stuff, talk to people, etc. I discovered arguably two endings. Like, one bit can be different depending on one choice and that's it. Anyone who has played the previous games should play this if they want closure.

Somehow missed the initial release of the final chapter, so I caught up by replaying the series over the weekend. Azurael's Circle is an indie gem that is well worth picking up if you enjoy games with spooky, paranormal, mystery vibes. You can tell the developer put a great deal of time and thought into the series. Looking forward to seeing more from them!

A novel idea start to finish, and while I recommend this for anyone wanting to finish the saga of Azurael's Circle, I feel it was not a fitting ending. It came too soon - the game play, while familiar, lacked the intensity and scariness of some of its predecessors. I would love to see an epilogue that goes further to finish the story... otherwise, the mechanics remain as awesome as they ever were. I still enjoyed the slow reveal of the light in the shadows and having to make sure I walked every square inch of each room to ensure I didn't miss anything.

A good sum up for the series, the ends tied together with all the masks down. Gameplay wise - some nice puzzles and good atmosphere to spend an hour or two. And remember - if you ever see the circle drawn somewhere - stay as far as possible.

I would love to see more games like this. 10/10
