The Tale of Bistun

+ Beautiful art and excellent storytelling. - The combat could be more sophisticated, especially the boss fights. I also did not notice any difference in the weapons after each upgrade. - Sometimes, the camera movement does not give the player a good view of the scene, which affects the gaming experience. This game is heavily story-based. Players who care about story of a game will definitely enjoy it.

10/10

It's a decent story, but It's extremely linear with nothing to figure out. Hints that the narrator is unreliable, but no conclusion to that question.

A surprisingly solid indie title based on a Persian folklore. I dont know much about the original story but from what can be gathered while playing the game is that it is based off a tragic romance type narrative. Incredibly well paced and the sprinkling of lore drops throughout the chapters will keep you invested. The narrator did a great job building things up and dare I say really helped carry an already awesome experience. Combat is short, simplistic and sweet, a bit repetitive but one can argue that its not really what you played the game for. It could be a tad harder, yes but it works best for the casual player. In my mind, think of it as like playing the game "Journey" but with some combat. A definite must try if you have the time. You can finish the game and get all the achievements in roughly 4hrs, more or less. Would like to know more if they can put out a sequel but it is pretty good as it is though if they want to build or expand more, I would definitely give it a go as I very much enjoyed the game. Enjoy! XD

Most emotional game. Love it.

A walking sim with some combat mixed in. Interesting Iranian fable. Decent game, but way overpriced for its scale. Should be $6.99.
