... and got burned. Great story, great world building and beautiful graphics. However the game is so buggy I considered quitting it at least 3 times, The main story is extremely short for such a story driven game. Sure there are tons of sidequests. Some of them are pure masterpiece gotta admit. But most of them are standard copy-paste missions with some backstorry slapped-in. And the map is full of the goddamn "side-quest" markers which are CAR SALE OFFER WTF CDPR?! Over half of the perks are useless. Crafting economy is unbalanced. And the immersion is terrible. This game feels half-finished. Love you guys, but I will never turst you again no matter what you do CDPR :(
*** !!! Before you start!!! *** Download the free fan mod (07th Mod) which adds higher resoluton, alternative art and VOICE OVER, which enhances the feeling and immersion of the game 10 times, My first JP Visual Novel. Altough you have no choices in the game, the story is really engaging. Characters are great written. The sweet part of the story is a bit too sweet in my opinion. But the feeling of horror is truly bone-chilling. Great introduction to the series, but unfortunately you won't get the conlusion with only this one.
First of all, the score I gave this game is based purely on my enjoyment with this title. It is not a perfect game by any means. It's also a really innovative combination of different game genres that my not suit your likings. However as a huge fan of indie games, I rate it a bit higher. Story: The game follows young girl Ajna, whose village was attacked by an evil army. At first she starts her adventure to take a revenge against leader of afore mentioned army, lord Ravanavar. During her jorney she meets unique companions, each with their own motives. However when she finally gets to her nemesis, it turns out he was just a pawn in a more grandeur plan. Gameplay: The game is metroid-vania platformer, which starts simple, but during playing you gain new abilities to scale the map with more ease or get to the previously unavailable places. There are few vast locations that are connected with each other. Story is linear however you sometimes have the possibility to choose between the order of the plotpoints. The battles are semi-turn based. You start with a custom team of 4 companions. Each of them starts with a certain number of actions. When you use them up the enemy gets to do their move, where you have to perform well timed block with attacked character. Your attacks build up a super-meter which lets you perfom character unique special moves to deal massive damage. When you win, all characters gain EXP used to level up and raise their stats (automaticaly). Pros: - Beautiful Artstyle. - Well made animations. - Very good voice acting. - Interesting combat. - Well designed platforming sections, which you can scale in multiple ways. - Interesting story and ton of side quests. - Tons of side character. Cons: - The enemies are just getting more HP, whic makes battles a bit boring. - Very precise platforming, which can be frustrating. - Side quests are mostly fetch quests. - Few crashes and bugs. Conclusion: It's a really good game. I recommend you to give it a try.
