The First Templar - Special Edition
Description
The First Templar follows the story of two main characters – a French Templar, and his companion, a noble lady who has been proclaimed a heretic. Taking control over these two unlikely allies, the player must uncover the mysteries behind the Templar Order, play a role in a grand conspiracy, and discover the secret of the Holy Grail. The heroes face powerful opponents at every turn, including Sacracen, King Philip the IV of France and the Inquisition.
The First Templar features both single player and co-op modes. When playing solo, the player can switch between the two characters, leaving the control of the second hero to the game’s AI. At any moment a second player can join in and take control of the AI-controlled hero.

It's just average at best
Positives: - cool templar swashbuckling - variety of environmental sets to explore - interesting & surprisingly fluid character swapping mechanic - fairly surprising attention to environmental detail Neither good or bad: - storyline, has some neat moments, but utterly predictable - character leveling & powerups are straightforward, just about right to max things out by end of the game - somewhat dated graphics by 2011 standards Negatives: - dialogue writing is uninteresting, repetitive, obvious, and in some parts repulsive (It's a women thing!"). MC is a boring gary sue, sidekick girl is totally-not-lara-croft-stereotypical-dagger-rogue-with-sexy-makeup that feels utterly out of place with the themes & setting the game takes place in, in almost every way possible. All the villains are cartoonish, Roland is the most intriguing character and even his motivations are... mediocre at best - for some reason most of the XP in the game isn't from the most difficult part of the game, the combat, and has to be gotten from finding chests - speaking of the combat, it's frustratingly clunky & janky, most of the mechanics don't work well at all, best strategy winds up being default attack spam and blocking/kiting enemies because nothing else works right, ever, and half the enemies have unavoidable attacks (it would help if the dodging worked at all) - the game tries to learn hard on the combat encounters by constantly spamming them, and because the system isn't good, it sours the whole experience - the game settings are lacking customization options, there's no mouse bindings displayed at all, which contributes to the janky combat problem by being unable to make that smoother and more intuitive - in stark contrast to some fluid combat animations, dialogue scenes are laughably bad - it's obvious the studio chose to cut a lot of corners, the game concept deserves higher quality production
