Didn't tickle my fancy! :D
Seems to be a battle going on between fanbois and hatebois for this game here on these review pages. My opinion is it's not quite as bad as some of the really scathing reviews here would suggest, but it also just isn't that good either. One pet hate of mine is games that are meant to be a "real, open world", yet don't have any female characters in it. Seriously this is a Blazing Saddles, "eeey where de white women at?" job!!!!!! Another pet hate is being forced to be the character the designers say you MUST be. You cannot be you own character, and the one you are forced to be is as dull as swamp water. Combat is pretty shite, not as bad as some reviews say, but it doesn't work well cosmetically, functionally, yeah, does work, just about. Kleptos with love it as you collect tons of stuff! :D Voice acting is just awful! Totally cringe! I also could not for the life of me work out how to buff my chars stats once he'd levelled up. The map was poor as well, it didn't help that your current position was not marked. The game suffers from many poor UI faux-pas that like! You may also need to download a patch that will slightly downgrade the curent version GOG are peddling, that version locks on startup for myself, and many others. It feels "sloppy" in almost every regard, the game should have been so much better. Well, it is a "JoWood" game, kings of "Eurojank". All in all, after 30 minutes of trying, I deemed it not worth my time, nor my money (oops too late - already dished that out for this game), but many others simply worship this game........ so it might just be to your liking. Take the risk buying if you wish, but don't say you were not warned if are disappointed!
Is this helpful to you?
