To become death in Venetica is a calling, fulfilled by a man of flesh and blood – equipped with special supernatural skills in order to be able to carry out the duties of the office. A new death is selected regularly by “Corpus”, a secret council. This time however Corpus really makes a wrong decision: The “new” death, Victor, turns out to be a crazed necromancer who manages to turn himself into an overpowering undead with seedy tricks and dark rituals and thus attains almost unlimited power in addition to immortality. As it is strictly forbidden for the chosen death to devote himself to necromancy, the committee revokes Victor’s nomination immediately and declares a new death in his stead without delay.
The power-hungry Victor however does not want to relinquish his position again. He continues to practice the dark arts in order to gather numerous dark and dangerous creatures and tainted souls from the underworld around him. He thus succeeds in eliminating the newly designated death and takes over his power for his own purposes. The effects on the world’s balance are calamitous and – should Victor be able to keep himself in power – its dark consequences are irreversible. Only a person who has the same mighty powers as Victor can prevent his prevailing and vent him his deserved punishment.
Scarlett, the daughter of the real death does not know anything about her ancestry and the hidden talents which slumber within her. She is immersed suddenly in this story due to the brutal attack on her home village and the tragic loss of Benedict, the love of her life. It is a story which she now begins to write herself, a story during the course of which she unleashes her capabilities, a story in which she tries to save Benedict from the world of the dead and a story in which she must protect the world of the living from the dark threat posed by Victor and his henchmen.

I don't remember if I had it as a giveaway or if it caught my curiosity and bought it on a whim, but I fell in love with this game I knew nothing about before getting it.
The gameplay is simple, console like which for me is a plus coming from that background, a bit of RPG character growth, beautiful, pleasant to explore environments as it's set in a fictional Venice, not too difficult yet challenging at times, not too long or too short. It's comfort food or cozy gaming for me, one of those games one could go back to from time to time and play again and it could be what you are looking for as well.
For the record, it runs flawlessly out of the box on my Linux PC and on Deck.
I own 411 GoG games, a few dozen games for each console (PS, Xbox), twenty or so on Steam....More than I can ever play. I have to be choosy in where to spend my gaming time, espcially since I'm past my prime. This game is a pleasure with a capital P to play. The top reviewer has it right, it probably shouldn't be, but it is.
The way I enjoy it is hard to explain. Here is how it makes me feel, from the very start: I can imagine it as how I would day dream my hero would act.The world responds like I think my day dream could if I was that imaginative. I can overhear conversations, sometimes very long ones, that carry good information that I could interrupt. It ISN"T about realism like real world stuff (you can do the time honored aggro of mobs and pull them and the others standing there don't mind ). But enough is there it seems like the world is real (even if the interaction with it is game like).
It reminds me a lot of how the first Tomb Raider was, with Laura Croft kicking butt and solving puzzles. The puzzles and quests in this game aren't chores to be completed. They are interesting and fun. Most games I play, have quests that just aren't that interesting or fun, even if I do it for the rewards. These quests are sewn seemlessly into the narrative that makes it so natural I don't even realize it.
**Don't alt-tab out of the game until you save. I save the game then alt-tab to the desk top. 91 percent of the time, I can go right back to gaming. Other times the game has hung and I restart. ** I see this in the big money games like Witcher, so I'm not sure what the complaint is on this game, but the voice acting doesn't match the script 'slightly', sometimes. **I haven't come accross any other bugs. I haven't finished the game yet, so maybe latter on?
Not every person will love this game. I don't know of anything much that everyone can agree on. But in my view, this game has earned its 4.5 verified owners rating.
This game felt like it lacked a lot of polish, which is a shame, because it could've been a really decent RPG. The enemy variety is sorely lacking, there were some minor bugs and some game breaking bugs, and some of the scenes are just hilarious in a bad way. Especially the protagonist's "Vader NOOOO" whenever something really bad happened. The game felt quite challenging during the early levels, but the final boss was a complete disappointment, he had been built up throughout the game as this bad-ass that could end you without breaking a sweat, and then when you finally get to him, he goes down easier than some of the minions. In that sense, this game had a real Game of Thrones sort of feeling to it, a great start ruined by what felt like a halfhearted, rushed ending.
Pros:
- It's so nice after so many huge generic open worlds (Assassin's Creed for example) to walk through small hub worlds where everything is handcrafted and makes sense.
- Nice graphics for a game of that time
- good controls with mouse and keyboard
- you always know what you have to do next, you don't get lost
- on easy difficulty it's even for non combat experienced players like me manageable
- good voice acting (English version)
- exploration is fun and interesting
Cons:
- Minor bugs here and there, but nothing game breaking
- sound is sometimes to quiet, be it voice acting or sound effects
- a few times the voice actors changed in one dialogue which was very weird
- rewards for exploration are nothing special most of the time
I did every quest, I found all the treasure, and it took me about 30 hours on easy, I took my time exploring every inch of the maps. I was surprised by Venetica, and I must say that I really enjoyed playing it!
You get to guide Charlize Theron through a fantasy renaissance Venice in this action RPG. It's worth the price of admission just for that. Hack some, slash some, explore some, talk to NPCs, do quests, and at the end, save the world.
The game is very a well put together for a "single-A", lower budget title.
++ engaging atmosphere
+ a story interesting enough to keep playing
+ good characters
+ voice acted well
+ some interesting game mechanics
+ good visual design (concept, not graphics)
Really the only negative(s) I can really mention:
- graphics are quite dated (they were at release, too, not just compared to today), except maybe the protagonist, who is actually done quite well, facial expressions, hair physics and all
- some backtracking is necessary, as you acquire new skills, but still not to an annoying level
Combat is not complicated at all, it boils down to simple comboing+dodging. Not that challenging, but still somehow satisfying.
Skills and stats don't play a huge role. Fairly easy to figure out which are useful skills, which are useless. There are enough skill points to max out the useful ones.
It does make the overall impression, that its creators had a clear vision, a solid plan to make it happen, and executed on it without fail. They knew what they were making, they knew it was not the next Gothic or Witcher. It doesn't break new ground, doesn't distinguish itself with anything, but what it does, it does really well. No game-breaking bugs, simple but clear UI, smooth controls. It's just a solid overall experience.
Definitely recommended, maybe even at it's current full price of 10 EUR. That's about 2-3 big Milka-s, and you'll get more enjoyment out of this game.
Show 0 hours for me, because I played it on Linux w/ bottles (very few minor issues), so I can't comment on either the Steam or the Windows experience.
This game is waiting for a review. Take the first shot!
