GRAVEN

This is a great boomer-shooter, reminiscent of Hexen 2 in particular. It masterfully blends fantasy shooter and RPG elements. I just wish some of the puzzles were easier to figure out...

THE GOOD + moody atmosphere + sword and sorcery + dark fantasy setting THE BAD - no free saving - puzzles are mind-numblingly boring - enemy design - world design - weapons (so far in early access) are underwhelming - yet another sewer level (yaawn!) BOTTOM LINE GRAVEN can't compete with HEXEN, HERETIC and WITCHAVEN in the slightest. I did not get hooked like I did in those three games at all. Exploration was rather dull, enemy design was poor and the world feels bland. With the original HEXEN plus its add-on available for cheap, and WITCHAVEN I & II recently added I suggest picking those up instead.

Game is completely broken, multiplasyer doesn't work at all. Do not buy. The developers should be ashamed.

The game is very fun to play. The environments are highly intractable, lots of barrels, boxes, pots, and more to smash. Feels like a game from a different era, in a good way. The atmosphere is very immersive from the get-go, making you want to discover the world. At this point in time I had a blast and was very happy with the money I spent on this product. Looks very promising. P.S. The game has funny Easter eggs!

This game is so much fun, with all the barrel-smashing, monster-thumping fun you'd get from Heretic or Hexen, except with better graphics. Unfortunately multiplayer doesn't work at all (Fatal Error! every time you try to launch), but hey, the game is still in development and I do hope the developers get that sorted soonish. Been waiting for a game just like this for years! Thanks guys, wherever you are, for coming up with the game :)
