The I of the Dragon

No autosave, no clear explanation of any mechanics.

NOT RECOMMENDED. Your gameplay would be mostly about wrestling with the controls trying to target the right enemies (your magic attacks will miss if the enemy moves even a little) and waiting for attack cool downs & spellcasting movement lock-ups to pass. You reduce enemes HP to zero, rinse and repeat. The dragon handles like crap, often gets stuck MID-f-ing-AIR. The GOG version seems to have trouble playing the voice line audio. Once you have killed one enemy, you have seen the whole depth of the game. No, there aren't any enemy dragons to fight. Does not at any point become fun to play. The spells would be fun if they did not take forever to recharge, living you with either fireballing (misses if the enemies move even a micrometer) or firebreathing (makes you an immobile punching bag whenever you use it) things to death. Even the mediocre and buggy Dragon Commander mobs the floor with this one. Oh and it randomly crashes. In summary, the game lacks the fun gameplay mechanics and content that enjoyable games have.

I can't get it working on Wine. I've bought several other versions of this over the years and none of them run on Linux - hopefully someone will make an installer. I've given this a neutral 3/5 since it probably works fine on windows and I got it in a sale on the off-chance.

I couldn't launch this on Windows or Linux, and currently investigating the issue with my Linux machine because I think this game may have contributed to the death of my 3 month old motherboard. I'm treating this game as if too broken to work without destroying hardware until I can prove it otherwise on my end. Avoid this game.
