Forgotten Realms: Demon Stone

I wanted to play this for nostalgia and Drizzt but it is complete garbage. Stay away. It is boring as hell.

A typical hack and slash based in the Forgotten Realms universe. No real gripes but nothing to write home about. This version supports ultra-wide monitors and controllers "out of the box", but the in game does not reference the controller buttons at it will still say "Press Ctrl to...". It makes reference to "the black button" so you can assume this is a port of the Xbox version, if that matters. The game has no real fatal flaws but is ultimately shallow as well. Monsters show up, you mash the attack button until they are dead. The characters each play slightly differently but ultimately utilize the same strategy of "Hit it unless it's about to hit me, then block it". My biggest complaint though is that I've either gotten better at Beat 'Em Ups or this game just really isn't that difficult. I'm playing on Hard and enemies just seem to be more numerous rather than actually more difficult.

A fun action game set in the Forgotten Realms. Story was so so, combat a bit better. All in all I had fun. Played the ps2 version back in the day, and this port was harder than I remembered. This time I played the GOG version and was glad to see it had controller support from the go. I could use my Xbox controller and set almost all buttons. It didn't recognize the triggers though.

a good hack and slash from the good old days.

It's a fun game with some realy great parts, but there is also quite some jank and frustrating element. Luckily it's only a short game, so quite fun for a little bit.
