Combat is great, is has good parry/block functionality. Atmosphere and world is amazing. It reminds me of Skyrim which i only finished once back in the days, but with good combat.
It's a really good game. Loved the story, mechanics, the way it looks and feels, dialogue is fun and its quite engaging. Might be a bit quirky in a few spots but I had a great experience playing it and I sure will replay again.
Good, dark and gritty
Giving me Two World vibes.
Anyone who loves RPG's should check this one out, It's a refreshing take on sword and fantasy games. Love how indie games like this can run with the giants like bethesda and obsedian, it may lack polishing but its still a gem in my books, it retro graphics with a modern twist. 100% NOT a skyrim clone! May have things in common with Elder Scrolls but this game hits different and I would highly recommend this to any RPG dork!
Hours at review is roughly the amount of time it takes to complete the story with most side quests. I think this game handles a lot of nuanced topics in a way that presents pros and cons in every scenario. Ultimately, it is a story-rich RPG that gives the player control over a "complex political situation" (as the game will say). You meet tons of characters who have their own perspectives, ambitions, and values that you must weigh against each other throughout the entire game. Unlike a lot of similar RPGs, it is full of choices. Not dissimilar to how Fallout New Vegas gives the player a ton of agency to shape how the ending plays out. I didn't experiment with many builds, but the game offers a robust set of choices. Magic archer, stealth assassin, mage, good ol' warrior, something in between? It's all available. The music is interesting. While perhaps not of the highest production quality, the overall instrumentation and themes are really appealing and help sell the environments. I'm quite pleased. I got this game on sale, but if I knew what it really was I would've easily paid full price. If it looks like the type of game you normally like, you'll love it.
2/1 I really, really enjoyed this game- I devoured it quickly and greedily, and then it was over.
I had a blast playing this game for my first playthrough and am already planning a second. Lots of different combat builds are viable and the unique gear makes for some really niche and interesting interactions. The story offers a lot of crossroad decisions that you get to explore the ramifications of, further incentivizing multiple playthroughs. What really makes me happy though is the level of commitment and passion that the dev team keeps showing with all the bug fixes, reworks, and free bonus content we have been getting. To put it very simply, this game successfully combines some of the better parts of the Elder Scrolls and Fromsoft games, not perfectly, but satisfyingly.
Игра отправляет компьютер в черный экран, при этом вентиляторы начинают крутиться на максимум скорости, а система перестает отвечать на любые сигналы. Гайда по решению не нашел, так что оформляю возврат. Попробую через пару лет, если захочу обновить ПК.
I like it a lot, also the demo is very nice its the game basically not sure on how long it gives you but i can confirm the save transfers to the actual game very nice. Thats a demo done right.
