Shadows: Awakening

A "just right" game. Graphics are OK. Storyline is interesting. No crashes or bugs encountered - Chap 1 to Chap 2... Voice overs are decent. My only complaint on Chap. 1 the blueish haze backgrounds, but otherwise no cons. Waiting to see what Chap 2 brings about. GOG surprised me with this giveaway/gift. Am grateful.

Gets a bit repetitive, like Diablo, but feels nice to dwel into these environments

Great game and very engaging--highly recommended

The concept of this game is really good and it's very fun, the whole two worlds-many forms mechanic is actually really peculiar and I love it.

Book the name is so forgettable that even when i AM intending to play it i have troubble finding it in my library... its a sin against creativity. However it dose decieve by the label, what is hiding within the game is solid, more simple (as in streamlined) itteration on throne of darkness formula - that is to say classical diablo type game that had many interesting ideas of its own. Story itself is pretty fun and engaging, albeit yet another "you lost your memory" fare *shrugs* no need to reinvent the wheel just make it spin well thats enough for me, And the main star is, as it ought to be, the conbat you have three basic categories of companions you can "tag" into the play at almost any time (barring when your charakter it stunned or otherwise incapacitated) alowing you to have active party of four with some alternative builds (at one point you get a hunter, another you get litearly golem - a tank) so there is enough varietty and YES controll per charakter (you level ALL charakters at the same time via shared exp pool but allocate points and skills individualy each time they become avalable). This in itself offers great dynamic playstyle and caters to my personal preference to have ranged, DPS and tank along with special utility (the main charakter being demon who traverses into ghost real) which i turned into melee DPS for that side of things. Spirit realm bleeding into real world is used as a gimmick so you do have to often switch between the main charakter and more physical ones, i do like this strangley as it is rewarded by loot or story when you do go on exploring and or switching frequently. The side quets can span across maps and i pressume acts so its bit confussing in that manner, and some puzzles (yes game has puzzles) are bit annoying sometimes. - the name, sometmes quests go across areas, gimmicky bossfitght + the combat, the atmosphere, the concept, interplay between charakters, dialogue, story
