Is it *really* worth 5 Stars?

Look, I'll be real with you, friend. This game is imperfect. Movement can feel a bit stiff and the AI can be dense in the "charge right at you" kind of way, but if you're willing to play around with spells instead of hoarding them, and want a game that genuinely gives you some cool strategic options in combat, Wheel of Time has you covered. There are things I would change or tweak, but this is nearly a 25 year old game. It ain't happening. So, why should you play it? One word: atmosphere. okay, more words: the soundtrack, the textures, the voice acting, the soundtrack (again! Look it up, it's great), Wheel of Time creates a stunningly immersive world if you're willing to give it a chance. And you should. It is just that charming. I've never read a WoT book or seen the show and while the game does treat you like you already know its world, no big deal! You find out what you need to as you go along, it's wonderful. No extensive data log reading (though you should read your spells), just a living, breathing fantasy world that you need to blast your way through like a one-woman badass. oh, and it has multiplayer. Interesting multiplayer. The "Citadel" (CTF really) mode lets you set traps, enemies and walls. Cast offensive, defensive and status spells. In an FPS! This was 1999 baby, Minecraft and Fortnite weren't even *concepts* yet. Absolutely wild. Again, is WoT flawed? Yes. It can be janky to get videos working (Quicktime patch helps!) without crashes on some systems, and there's so many spells it can be hard to use them all tactically when enemies are breathing down your neck. However, if you like older FPS games, fantasy, or just want a pleasant, "just-right" campaign experience that will make you wonder why you never heard about (or played) this game before, do it. Full price or on sale, it's worth it.

Quake ... or maybe Unreal with Spells?

I'm surprised I never heard of this game. Its a very fun boomer shooter with magic spells replacing guns. I usually fall off magic based FPS games (I love Amid Evil but never seem to be able to finish it...) but the story made me want to progress and see what happens next. Spells require single use artifacts for each use, which feels a bit odd for a fantasy game, but works as an FPS, and encourages exploration. I've always had enough artifacts to get by but never felt like I had an excess, so finding powerful spells was always rewarding. Combat itself is pretty good, but not perfect. Melee enemies can catch up to you really fast, which can make the many AoE spells dangerous to you, and once they are in range to hit you, it's near impossible to get out of their range without killing them. Fighting magic users is fun, playing much like a quake rocket launcher duel, though it can be annoying when they activate shields, forcing you to just wait it out for a bit. It is a bit strange that the tutorial covers tower defence elements that never actually get used in the single player campaign, might be a multiplayer feature, Overall, its a great game, with a decent enough story and pretty good cutscenes (if you can ignore those distracting hands). Makes me want to check out the Amazon series so the re-release might have done its job

Only enjoyable if aided by nostalgia

Interesting game concept: a shooter with magic instead of guns. Also, there's trap-room tower defense levels. Unfortunately, the game has aged pretty badly. The game would be enjoyable if not for several poor design choises that add up to make it outright annoying for me: - Everything moves fast, but your spells don't. Some enemies have insta-dodges. Get used to missing your target frequently. - More powerful magic is usually stuck with low velocity and can't be used at close range due to splash damage, so it ends up being rarely useful. - Health drains really fast, so be prepared for unexpeted deaths even if you have full health and shield. - Frequent encounters with fog snake enemies that creep up on you from behind, above or through walls. They are hard to hit without hurting yourself, drain your health in no time flat and seem to respawn mere seconds after being fought off. No, just No on this one. - Escort mission through all of the stuff above. Yeah, this is the point when I uninstalled the game. Someone who remembers the game fondly or has a lot more patience than me (or a less absurdly mountainous pile of shame ahead of them) could find enjoyment in this game. I didn't. At all. I don't usually abandon games, especially short ones like this, but this one made me quit. The payoff is not worth the hassle for me.

The Wheel Turns Ages will Come and Go

This is actually a cool game, for anyone who likes the Wheel of time Universe and the only game I think. You get to play as an agile, smart and versatile Aes Sedai who unfortunately cannot channel the One Power. Still, the game revolves around using Ter'angreals as weapons, each with unique abilities. (offensive, defensive, healing and so on). This gives a whole new dimension with so many possible ways to use them in various situations to get through the linear levels. The story although vast in the books, still underlines the main issues, and gives the player enough information to work with. Music and sound effects are impressive. Voice acting is pretty good. Graphics, I mean you cannot complain, it still looks decent for a game from 1999. Totally worth checking it out.
