Had potential that wasn't fulfilled
Got this game on Gamepass. A stealth game with a little combat and a LOT of storyline. The story itself was fine, but the dialogue is a little lame at times, and the way Amicia talks to herself is often hilariously bad. Frustratingly, the game narrows down the corridoors of travel so it basically becomes "pick scrub 'A' or wall 'B' to hide behind and continue moving on, choosing to either kill or sneak past guards". There are LOTS of chapters where the majority of it is justing running, or worse, walking while there is exposition. If they got rid of these sections the gameplay would probably be cut short to 8 hours, so this was obviously a ploy to lengthen gameplay time. The graphics were decent, and only a few glitches of NPC's getting stuck or killing themselves. The music score is decent. I feel like if they had worked it towards being a little more like Shadows of War/ Shadow of Mordor in gamestyle (obviously with less combat options) would have worked better. All in all, this game left me frustrated, and yet the storytelling deserved better.
Is this helpful to you?
