Has problems, but fun game to play.
Initially, I've played this game a bit, when demo was first released, and then picked it up as a "cover disc" with some videogame magazine, but haven't finished it at that time; now I've completed the GOG release. Good things: -Interesting visual style; even though the game is old, Venice is beautiful, and you get to visit various places (like Africa), -Your character is daughter of Grim Reaper himself, how cool is that? You can talk to dead people, find treasure maps, break into locked chests with the help of ghosts, and if killed - you can come back from the "Twilight World" to deliver deadly blow on your enemy from behind, -There are multiple outcomes and endings, depending on your actions; game has Reputation system and some actions are considered Honorable, while some are Villainous, -Combat can be satisfying, if wonky (more about that below) Bad things: -Game can CTD all of a sudden. It didn't happen to me "all the time", just a couple of times, but you better save often, especially when leaving some room or house and transiting into larger map, -You can perform sequences of hits in a combat, but it's not contextual, meaning Scarlett will NOT auto-target other enemies with her next hit, even when previous enemy is already dead, -When mobbed by enemies, it's easy to get stun-locked, with no way to retaliate. Rolling to avoid hits is also all over the place - Scarlett will often roll right under the swords of enemies, instead of getting away... - Journal and map markers are...not helpful. There's virtually no hand-holding (which is good), but often you will find yourself confused as to what to do next, since the game often won't update markers and journal entries (by design, not because of bugs) - you have to figure out your next step all by yourself, -Game really doesn't like Alt-Tabbing; sometimes you switch to browser to find help on wiki, and when you get back it's all right, but most of the time the game will freeze. Save often. Overall, recommended.
