Death's Gambit: Afterlife

Good visuals, poor design and bugs

There is a good game hidden in here somewhere. The graphics are pretty and the voice acting that is there is actually good. Unfortunately the voice over is incomplete as a noticeable amount of lines from conversations are missing. The story is forgetable but there are a few nice ideas in the way how it is told and the world design is ok. But... As of now, one month after release, 2 patches and a hotfix later, although playable the game is still riddled with bugs, poor UI and localization. The combat system feels slugish even with the fastest weapons and some of the mechanics make no sense. It's almost as if somebody looked at Dark Souls, took some parts from it and changed them just enough to make them worse. Like loosing feathers (=Estus flask equivalent) on death. Other systems feel underdeveloped, like the horse or the weapon upgrades. Maybe with 6 months of extra development time things would have turned out differently. If the bugs ever get fixed you'll get an ok game that could have been great 3/5. Currently it's just 2/5.
