Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon

It's like Skyrim and Dark Souls had a baby this is what you get.

优化太次 放技能打个怪直接给怪蹦没了 剩下的人物飘逸 模型分裂太多了 画面 游戏性 完全是都比不上十几年前的游戏的

Are you the kind of guy to pick up every item the game lets you, reach the inventory weight limit and then slow walk out the dungeon or reluctantly drop the item with the least value per weight? Do you run through each area 2-3 times to make sure you got everything? Do you load a save every time an interaction with an NPC could have gone better? Do you load back 2 hours of progress if you realize that you made a mistake? Do you check the wiki to make sure you aren't messing up too bad? If you answered yes to all of the above then I strongly recommend this game. If you do not see yourself in this, bad news: it's not optional. I tried to do a "casual" playthrough of the game, doing the quests I came across and picking up gold and valuables. I did not rush the main quest but I did not do the first zone to total completion either. The result? I go into the next zone and get my ♥♥♥♥ rocked to the point where I can't even really progress. I am swept off this mortal plane by a group of three regular bandits. I have played through Elden Ring several times with mods that make the game harder, and it was an absolute cakewalk compared to this game. Meanwhile, my buddy pal friendo who really enjoys going absolute hoarder in games like this, he completely ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ broke it. He upgraded his weapon to +a billion in the first zone, found some broken perk combination and just absolutely destroyed everything he came across. I get that to a certain extent this is me being bad at the game, but compared to something like Skyrim or even Dark Souls, this game is MUCH harsher on you if you don't keep up with the best most upgraded gear available. You can't really "outplay" a hard encounter without literally flawless play because the enemy will just straight up one shot you while taking 20-50 hits to die in return. The game has an easy mode, but its a stat modifier. You'll still have issues vs. actually hard enemies if your build isn't up to par and it is also very easy to flip the other way and have the game be so easy that the combat feels pointless. Even in the easier zones, the gap between a hard enemy and a normal enemy can be so big that it rarely ever feels like you get a balanced fight. I imagine most people who say that the difficulty is fine land on the "it's trivial" side of the balance coin for most encounters because they picked the right perks found the right equipment and sold enough stolen cheese to upgrade it all.

Skyrim has set a standard - perhaps an unreasonable one - among open-world RPGs where now every game of that genre has to be compared to it. There's lots of nuance here - on one hand we have nostalgia goggles for Skyrim. And on the other - the modding community effectively makes Skyrim not suck and we often forget this. There's no nostalgia for Tainted Grail, and the game isn't made easily moddable. All in all, Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon passes my vibe check - the game mechanics, the combat, the aesthetics, and especially the soundtrack all absolutely deliver. The story is all right, the side quests are so-so. The occasional humour is welcome. The game is stable and I have encountered few bugs. There are minor oversights in the environment design, and I wish the world would change more significantly as a result of the player's actions and as the story progresses.

The game is EMBARRASSINGLY Un optimized. You will experience severe stuttering and frame drops even on the lowest graphics settings. I have a beefy PC and no other game even comes close to how piss poor this game runs. Its not even worth it for 20 bucks on sale let alone 50. Devs, optimize this trash AI generated (yes its AI) slop fest and fix your game. This is a joke and theres a reason no one is buying it currently. OPTIMIZE THE F***ING GAME IDIOTS WE CANT EVEN PLAY THROUGH IT LMAO

The strongest part of the game is its dark, creepy and mysterious world. Exploration actually feels rewarding: abandoned ruins, hidden locations, notes, caves and small stories are scattered everywhere, constantly encouraging you to go off the beaten path. It has that old-school RPG feeling, similar to Oblivion, where exploring the world itself becomes a major part of the adventure. The character progression is also well done. Building your character feels meaningful, and new abilities or equipment can noticeably change your playstyle. The combat system is surprisingly solid - parries, blocks and dodges make fights more dynamic and prevent them from becoming simple button mashing. The dialogue and storytelling deserve special mention as well. The game does not reveal everything immediately, instead letting the player slowly piece together the lore and the bigger picture through exploration and conversations. It has its rough edges, but the strong atmosphere, deep worldbuilding and classic RPG elements make Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon one of the most interesting RPGs in recent years.

Повёлся на облизывания этой игры Жопичем. Походу старый сожрёт всё что угодно если оно похоже на игры беседки. Не знаю... Очень криво всё. Я был удивлен, но это крайне НЕКРАСИВАЯ игра. И по трейлерам этого не видно. Может быть дальше что-то классное будет. Тогда я сменю обзор. Это не прям ужасно... Но пока что очень посредственно.

A simple thing like the mapping as you go is missing. I'm not hard core gamer so to come back a day later, cant rememebr where i am in ruined it

Давно хотелось поиграть во что- то подобное, игра затянула, сюжет раскрывается своевременно, больше деталей можно узнать через диалоги с персонажами, которые через время становятся не интересными. Зачем нужна механика с отмычками- я не понял, в 80% случаев открывается любой сундук с первой отмычки, так же отсутствует дефицит этих самых отмычек, из-за чего вообще по игре не переживаешь о их нехватке. Имеет ли смысл и последствия твой выбор в игре? Вроде да, а вроде и нет. По прохождению очень чувствуется недокач или слабость брони, что заставляет еще какое- то время побить местных обитателей, а после того как получаешь плюс минус нормальную броню и оружие то из-за самой боевки в игре, становится уже не так интересно, потому что мобы просто умирают если заспамить лкм в тупую. Основной сюжет довольно интересный и с самого начала перед тобой стоит выбор, который в конце становится более чем очевидный, по побочкам квесты есть интересные, но не так, что хочется пробежать каждый, где- то даже задушился. В общем и целом учитывая стоимость игры и отсутствие релиза подобных игр, к покупке рекомендую, но не стройте слишком больших надежд, с чем- то тут все же придется смириться.
