Disapointing
Well. From all the glowing reviews I expected a hidden gem. But what I got was a game that just shows its age. It is extremely clunky and has very poor diablo-esque click combat combat and navigation, along with moronic enemy and NPC ally AI. It DOES have fairly good (not great) writing and atmosphere, but the gameplay is weak and pretty mindless and it doesn''t hold up well to modern games. For what its worth I got to halfway through Chapter 2 before I decided finishing it would just be masochism. Note 1 - I should note I have an ultrawide monitor - the game works well with it, amazingly, but it also means the combat, which I think is already pretty bad from what I see, is possibly even worse since it is hard to click on the small characters as soon as NPC allies get involved. Note 2 - I encountered no bug at end of chapter 1, but the boulder doesn't shift unless you talk to Mudam and possibly also decode the 4 scrolls via Lahren- I did both and the boulder vanished after talking to Mudam, but the text when reading the scrolls implied it should have vanished then. So possibly you need to do both, and possibly the scrolls trigger the Mudam conversation (I visited after decoding and then having the boulder not go away I went back to Mudam and had the chat).
Is this helpful to you?
