A solid adventure game

I picked Dark Eye: Chains of Satinav out from library almost at random. I wanted to play a point and click and it was one I hadn't played before. I have to say I've really enjoyed my time with the game. I don't know anything about the Dark Eye universe but that hasn't held me back. The game is beautifully drawn, a huge round of applause to the art team, honestly, I wanted to take so many screenshots during my playthrough. Dadelic have used their experience to make the game less frustrating. For example: you can highlight all interactable objects on the screen with a click of the mouse wheel (though there's an achievement if you don't). The game is also fairly good at preventing you from soft-locking yourself , usually you can't progress if you're missing something. There are achievements and they seemed to unlock without issue for me. Some are designed to require multiple playthroughs. I'm not too fussed about achievements but if you are then it's something to bear in mind. There are SOME puzzles that got me about half-way through as you're in a magical realm, but if you can click your brain into the right-mindset they do make sense in a certain way. If you want to travel to a fantasy world to try and save it, you can do worse than Chains of Satinav. I really enjoyed it.

A Magical Tale

Chains of Satinav is an old-fashioned tale of adventure through a land of sword and sourcery, heroism and legend. In fact, I found myself vaguely reminded of Legend Entertainment games (Shannara, Death Gate). You'll travel strange lands, see remarkable sights, and ultimately use your wits to save the land from destruction. It's quite an adventure. The scenery is rich in visual detail, all quite stunningly rendered. The locales are inventive (to an extent) and varied. The challenges you face are often elaborate, but almost never frustrating. Moon logic puzzles are kept to a bare minimum. The characters are apparently somewhat polarizing, but in my opinion they are sympathetic and reasonably well sketched. The voice acting isn't perfect, but it's certainly good enough, and often matches the mood of a moment very well. I recommend this (and Memoria, the sequel) quite highly to any fan of adventure games. It's really quite beautifully crafted, and worthy of your time and money.

A pretty game...and a pretty awful game

The game is quite nice, visually. I like the hand-drawn look and the very simple animation style. The artwork sets a tone right from the start. A gritty world with flashes of beauty. But the gameplay is horrible. Laughably bad writing voiced in a mediocre way. A story that barely hangs together even after you know the plot. Combine those with puzzles that only occasionally make any sense and you end up with a mess. I received the game free, so I don't feel cheated. Although I would have preferred not to have wasted the 5 or 6 hours it took me to get to the closing credits.

Christian Parent Review

The story has dark elements and violence/gore, but nothing too horrible for children in the language or romance department beyond somewhat regular uses of "d--n" as a curse word. Like most fantasy games, you have to deal with fairy tales, gods, demonic forces, and this isn't a trip to Narnia. If the broad fantasy genre offends, this is one to steer clear of. The main character isn't treated nicely and is regularly confronted with choices which can seem morally grey or outright wrong, including lying or stealing. If playing with your kids, conversation-starters abound in this came with concepts of fairness, justice, right, and wrong I was able to talk through with my kids as we played through together. For myself, I think there comes a time where parents have to talk their kids through the above. I would venture this might not be a bad game to do it with, and actually play through with a young adventurer. However, I would not want my preteen kids playing this without me. In terms of the game overall, and with the above caveats, everything comes together. I was pleasantly suprised. Good story meets engaging storytelling meets interesting characters meets captivating artwork. Like a lot of games, there is room for disagreement on if the puzzle solutions always make sense but if you aren't averse to an occasional trip to a walkthrough, you don't end up stuck for too long or too often.

Great but buggy

Daedalic does it again with beautiful art, story, soundtrack, and characters.. and unfortunately with buggy issues again. For starters, in fullscreen there is a graphical glitch, every few seconds there a black or white artifact that comes and goes. There is no option for borderless fullscreen window. So when you put it to windowed mode (which fixes the artifacts), now you see the top bar for the window, and you can't access the inventory at the bottom of the screen. The fix for this is setting it to 1920x1200 instead of 1080p. It gives you the fullscreen look while being windowed, although if you use multiple monitors you will see the edges on other monitors, which isn't that bad. Now the most annoying issue. Every time you load the next screen, which you do often, there is a few second lag. Your input freezes and you have to wait to click things. This becomes pretty frustrating and feels like they should have fixed this shortly after launch, but there's complaints online for all of the above issues going back years. Does this change the story, art, characters, sound? No, but it leaves a bad taste in your mouth, especially when you've had these, or similar issues, in other games of yours. The lack of polish is what separates this review from saying "One of the best games/stories I've ever experienced" to a rant about how you can't manage to fix your games. Despite all that, I still recommend Chains of Satinav. I played Memoria first a while ago and loved it. Now I have to go back through Memoria so I understand references, and Geron, a bit better.
