Good medieval RPG with flaws
First time playing this in 2022. This is a very good first-person RPG set in medieval Europe. If you are a fan of the Elder Scrolls or Witcher games you'll likely enjoy it as it has many similarities. The graphics and environments are beautiful. The music is good and never sounds annoying or repetitive. As for mechanics, it demands you pay attention to learn them, especially basic combat. It is not for casuals or movie-game enjoyers. Now, my criticisms as there's plenty of other reviews that talk about the good. The big problem is the combat is seriously flawed in two ways. Not too long into the game, you are taught how to use a sword and then how to counter a foe's attacks. When you have this ability, you can essentially 1v1 anyone in the game by timing your blocks at the right moment. There is no obligation to make the first move yourself, just wait until the opponent attacks and counter them repeatedly until they're dead. Besides, even peasants with wooden handaxes will block nearly all of your own attacks despite your character level anyway. The weapon combos are practically impossible to pull off and ultimately pointless anyway. The other way in which combat is flawed is when fighting multiple opponents. There's no way around it: it simply sucks. The targetting system fails to handle it and in these situations you'll be battling the targetting system, by spamming the change target button, as much as the enemies attacking you. Enemies do not care about your zone of control or putting themselves in the range your weapon, they will literally walk into and through your character while battling you as if you're not there. It should be hard to win against multiple opponents - and it is - but it is simply flawed and unfun when the mechanics of the game don't function well and you are frequently put in battles where it's you vs 3 or more bandits. But give it a go if you like RPGs and medieval history.
