Flawed, but very enjoyable.
If you are looking for immersive RPG, then Venetica would be like 3-3,5 stars game. If you want adventure game with some RPG flavor and dont mind technical hickups, then you can add extra star on top. You can think of this game as Gothic-like experience with few extra improvements: you have open-ish world with some space on the surface and beneath it to explore for extra items or quests, quite decently made main story, a smooth fight system which requires you use proper weapons against different enemies, boss battles, physical and mental skills to get or improve, factions to join and work for and few more. Game however has some noticable shortcommings. There are enviromental issues, like messed side quests dialogs that didnt even try to play along the lore or goes straight-to-point, lack of clues in some assigments or a lot of errand tasks (they are time-consuming even with unlocked though mid-game fast travel). From technical side, while protagonist is very well animated, the world around looks either stiff or "underanimated". Sometimes you can get quest that requires skill you can't have at that point, sometimes world just dont load and you run through void (luckily its not critical bug, restarting the game helps). Also, fighting skills like blocking (sic) needs to be equiped to and executed from shortcut bar, what is highly questionable design choise. The RPG aspect is mostly superficial and consequences are rather minor, so dont hesitate to choose the way you want. Some bigger disappointment is that somehow interesting mental skills are barely worth using in doing adventure stuff. The bright point tho is main character, Scarlett. Although she quite too strong in compare to her physique, shes not an overly capable skull-breaking brute. Shes also not excessively confident, dont have quips for every situation, dont play victim or deliver overly pompous lines. Shes wrote in very human, then relatable way, what is quite refreshing. I hope it helped, cheers
