Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon

The game is GREAT. The story is intriguing and the gameplay makes me want to experience more. BUT it is POORLY OPTIMISED. The game stutters and lags consistently just before an enemy attacks you in combat and it is intensely frustrating. Please fix this, as there is a real artistic and creative vision at work over here and I would like to see it succeed.

Sim eu gosto de um Skyrim de baixa renda, me dê mais disso

Un joc care m-a plictisit la început dar căruia i-am dat o șansă. Nu regret nici o clipă. Mă aștept să fie unuldintre cele pe care să le termin ... și de obicei nu termin multe :-)

Good fun, very atmospheric

It's great.

I will say that what I've played so far (that isn't buggy... and there are A LOT of frustrating bugs STILL unpatched???) is enjoyable. I like the armor and weapon designs quite a bit and the lore is cool. It plays like Skyrim, a little jankier though.... with the aesthetics of Dark Souls. I cannot in good fairness give this game a good review until the problems with it are fixed, however. I got to the third area and am in a place where I am so fed up I need to wait for patches. Will revisit in probably a year, although some problems from last year are still unpatched so I'm not holding my breath...

This game blew me away. The more generic points, combat is good, dodging, parrying, block, stamina management, mana management, weapon variety, spell variety (with effects, though I have not tested that much, fire is better versus some enemies for example, it shows which works well during fights) general play is smooth, the only movement critique I have is jumping feels a tiny bit restrictive in some places and free in others, so a tiny bit inconsistent. Less generic, more 'Why this game?' THE TONE. It's dark, it's sad, it's beautifully done. I normally play games, especially solo games, with videos on the side, I paused it on the MENU. Locked me in with the music. The rewarding feeling of exploring, is encouraged ALL GAME, if you see an interesting path or location in the distance, it was almost always worth exploring in depth. I love this part, and kinda hope if there's ever a sequel it's also toned down a bit, which sounds dumb but I just don't think the game needs it this heavily. The part being, consequences of choices. Actual decisions impacting your game heavily is a good and bad thing, (personal opinion) Without spoiling, my ending for act 1 did disappoint me, because it wasn't what I expected. BUT, the game story is essentially grey area 101, you don't know 100% right from wrong here most times, and I would think about my future decisions often going from point A to B, genuinely running the scenarios like Dr Strange hoping to do what I thought was best. And feeling that engaged is rare. If you want a CATERED experience, a bit less open world, do anything you want, type. And more of a this is a playable movie with impactful choices, story and changeable outcomes, this is easily one of the best I've ever played. Will be back to play through it again, likely multiple times.
