Valdis Story: Abyssal City

Overwhelmingly Disappointing

I don't think I have ever been this disappointed in something that I was so excited about. The game is simply not good, and I am not sure it was even worth the $5 I paid for it when it was on sale. There is actually a LOT that is wrong with this game, however despite my best attempts I can't fit everything into the amount of room GOG gives you to write a review. The game looks and sounds amazing. The developers put a lot of effort into those aspects of the game. Combat for the most part is a lot of fun and satisfying when you get good at it. Its the rest of the game that just totally ruined it for me. There are endless flaws and poor design choices that make it clear the people who were behind this game either didn't know what it took to make a good game or were far to invested in the visuals to put the same amount of effort into the rest of the game. Terrible map, terrible item/merchant system, puzzles that take perfect play to pull off, numerous aspects that punish a player for trying to explore. There is also a few ill advised choices to the control set up that the player has no way of changing. If you really want it and the game is less than $5, you might as well go for it. But don't pay full price. Because not only is the game not very good it's also very short.
