I'm so happy I bought this
I'll keep the review short: This is a delightful, top-notch game. Think of the book "Redwall" meets the game "Thief" + maybe "Skyrim" or the "Witcher 3" or heck, even "Deus Ex". You play as a mouse, Tilo, who has to escape the prison run by the Rat King, in order to then go on to rescue your wife, Merra. The Rats are big, strong, and powerful, so the emphasis is on stealth and exploration (hence the comparison to "Thief" or even "Deus Ex", games where stealth played a huge role). There is also quite a bit of lore and wonderful description in the game (sort of like "Skyrim") and some genuinely interesting and humorous interactions with NPC's (ok, not like "Skyrim," where you pretty much travelled places and wound up just killing the NPC's no matter what...but reading the journals and letters were fun!). If you are like me, you've bought a huge number of games, and then barely play most of them, and/or start a game, but get bogged down, something pulls you away and you can't bring yourself to start over again. This game has me hooked...I keep coming back for more, I love the exploration aspect and I don't mind backtracking over areas I previously explored. The game is that fun! I will also mention, the graphics are top-notch! Hard to believe this was the work of primarily one person. The music and audio are fantastic, too. My only wish was that it was a bit easier to play with keyboard and mouse, but honestly, the Xbox joypad is perfect, I just had to dig it out from the bottom of a drawer.
Is this helpful to you?
