I was waiting for this title for quite a while and title delivers. Even in the first prologue area when Henry... departs with his parents, player becomes well aware how rich story this game has (as it should be). This game together with Witcher 3 have many things in common. Most notably it puts player in shoes of a character that has a role in this story for player to play. Player must unlearn typical RPG easy goings. Yeah I was riding my very first horse and I took that for granted - I almost died (considering the chase I had). Game has rich in story, many details, immersion, rewarding difficulty (it is not frustrating difficulty), quality of life features, good sound and it is very enjoyable. It is interesting to point out that present day Bohemia (Czech Republic) is mostly atheistic country and how they represented faith in this game.
Yes I give it a one star! I would give it a zero if it would allow me. Everythingi s fine and then when NPCs charm an make your characters mad you just watch how game play itself! No player needed. This is very "fun"!
This demo shows enough potential for a good god-like game. Basically player starts developing a civilization from a stone age. It reminds me a bit on Black and White yet it seems this game will have modern day technological advancement. Also, no god creature and player has direct control simila to city building games. The bad part of this game are the following: * Starting game from GOG crashed my Windows 10. This happened for the very first time to me. Never saw Windows 10 pale blue screen of death. Then again it is early in development * Controls are easy but not intutive. In othe games I would expect full mouse control over building placement which includes rotation but it was actually Q and E key on keyboard. Another thing is research - on UI there is a huge research button that has no other function but to show what is current research and it's completion progress. Once research is done, this button begs to be clicked but nothing happens - instead player must navigate to that, what it is caled "evolution tower or something" to click and pick next research technology. This should be accessible from this on UI button. I imagine on large civilizations it can be painful to navigate to this tower to click research. * UI needs some polishing - assigning nuggets will not happen if I click on their name from the list. Instead they will be assigned if I click on the blank slace between their name and text that says their current occupation. * Planet rotation is a cool thing but needs some adjustments with speed of rotation/turning All in all, I am looking forward for this title.
Game as game is good. I played original and I liked it. Why I give such a bad mark then? Technical aspect is bad. As soon as game installed itself I tried to play it with my friend in multiplayer but I could not. Clicking New Game and Multiplayer end up in very long waiting ~ 10 minutes only ending up with No connection. And then trying to exit from game took another 4-5 minutes. Nothing was given as hint what is wrong and why this is happening.
