Unearthed: Trail of Ibn Battuta - Episode 1 - Gold Edition

My favorite collectible was the ♥♥♥ cup.

While i'm not recommending this game, i can't hate this one. It's a very cheaply made Uncharted clone from a small and unexperienced team that wanted to gave a jumpstart for those interested in researching a locally born famous figure, a very interesting one at that. It feels and plays like a school project about a local hero, kind of a shame that the second episode will never come out. Definitely searching if there are Ibn Battuta books in my local library tho.

ну чуть чуть до 007 first light не дотягивает

Yes... I. Yeah. No... huh?! And that's the game!

A poor man's Uncharted, the one thing Unearthed has going for it is the actual history surrounding Ibn Battuta, a prominent figure of the Maghrebian world during the Islamic Golden Age. Infact, the latter half of this incredibly short game (sold as "Episode 1" in a larger narrative) takes place in Tangier, Morocco, Ibn Battuta's home during the era. As for the game itself? It is mechanically amateurish in nature, with flat feeling shooting, sounds and animations that would often break mid execution, and frustratingly unfair difficulty spikes, supposing you're foolish enough to want to play this on a higher difficulty. The worst of Unearthed's gameplay stems from the fist fighting sections, a part that should feel natural, as if it is straight out of Indiana Jones, but one that is as clumsy as a Buster Keaton sketch. There is an on-rails sequence which is as boring as regrettably short, with one single, aimless, driving sequence where you are simply tasked with avoiding collisions with police cars. Unearthed Episode 1 does have something of a good vertical slice in showing a variety of segments here and there but, as mentioned, all the segments are poorly realised in practice, which is the statement I'd used to describe every facet of this game unfortunately. While the developers, Semaphore, claim to be working on a sequel, it has been over ten years now since Unearthed originally released in the state that it did. As it stands, this hodge podge of a release is likely all we will ever get from this story, which given how it has turned out, might actually be a blessing in disguise.

You shouldnt buy this game if your looking for a long game altough its nice and fun and reminds me of uncharted i still wish they were working on this game

capolavoro assoluto del genere esplorativo. voglio la parte 2 il prima possibile.
