Memoria

I'm really no expert, it's my very first purchase on GoG and by "English & more" I expected to play AT LEAST the original german version. Thats why for me the game is no fun and worthless. One star only.

I expected a great ending to this complicated story. And I wasn't disappointed. It's become rare over the time, so it does worth mentioning it.

The Dark Eye: Memoria (2013) is a sequel to The Dark Eye - Chains of Satinav (2012). Again your typical point and click adventure. The game takes place in a D&D type setting with all the associated sights and wonders. Although, this time, the focus is on fallen angles and demons. The spell count increased from 2 to 4 between the two main protagonists. That's right, this time Garon shares the screen with "Princess" Sadja based on Arabian typology. Garon's main aim is to attempt to rectify the bittersweet ending of the last game. A chain of events leads Garon to receive past visions that tell Sadja's tale. A tale shrouded in a mysterious riddle. I have to say that it was more enjoyable playing as Sadja. Her story was very well written, the premise intriguing, the setting stupendously fantastical and her puzzles were a lot more interesting. Again, the ending was bittersweet for both Garon and Sadja. I have to say that I enjoyed this one a bit more then the first game. Puzzles were generally fair. Illogical puzzles were kept to a bare minimum. There remains some glitches but none were game breaking. You can save anywhere. Since a potato can run the game, I downloaded the DRM free game from GOG and copied the game folder onto my laptop. I was able to play from the comfort of the couch. Game took ~5 hours to complete over the course of several days.

Am really happy i bought this game, some of the puzzles and were difficult in the sense that i wasn't how was one supposed to come up with the solution, I checked a guideline for one of the riddles because i had absolutly no idea (6 elements and the 6 faces one), but all in all a great game. I was like 90% sure Nuri was going to die for some reason nearing the end but am glad she didn't (I chose to turn her back to a fairy, she deserved to be happy, not a raven who forgets), kind of sad for Bryda but she went kinda psycho in the end, and really happy for Sadja and Staff for reuiniting.

This is why there are adventure games. Something's always happening. Loved it! Comparable to The Longest Journey and Primordia. And beautiful, every single scene.
