I am not a 4X player, but when I saw this game has my favourite knife-ears, I bought is immidiatelly. The story and lore blurbs are nice, and banshee-fire dragon-wave serpent combo works really well (or you can replace the squshi elves with hard-as-nails wraithblaes). I have played solo just to get t the end of the story, and while it presented decent challenge (not a 4X player, remember?), the last mission is just tedious: I really thought game bugged out with endless waves of enemies, but no, it just fails to communicate that there are 10 waves. Also, the main theme for Aeldari is really nice: I have it playing in background rn, and just for this, I am willing to leave this a 5/5
I dont really play 4X games, but since I am a Warhammer fan, I decided to give this one a go. The music is really nice, art direction is clean and informative (I never wondered what actually happens on screen), and the lore blurbs every ttime you meet new alient unit or research a technology is what kept me going. Cannot really comment on how this game holds up compared to other 4X titles, but unlocing some key units from tabletop and then using them, and they worked as I imagined, without havig to read in-game stats, tells me this game keeps to the source .
Text adventure which explores mental state of its protagonist seems like a interesting idea, but I cannot understand why would creatos chose uncanny 3D models as the main visual element. Replace them with just some concept stills, pixel ar or just abstract shaapes in aumunal colors, and the game would be better for it.
I went to this game almost blind on release day, steering clear of hype and hate and got what I expected: solid urban RPG experience. The story and setting is interesting, characters lovable, gameplay loop satysfying and I encountered only a few bugs that were easy to get rid of. I found comute a little boring after a while, some story events felt like there was hole left after rushing the game and in the endgame I was pretty much overpowered (but I was doing every side quest before finishing the story) Hope CDP Red bring additional story DLC and adds additional challenge and difficulty. Yeah, the game sucks for console players, but so did Dark Souls port for PC and everyone was cool with it, so, you know, cry me a river...
This game is very story and atmosphere heavy, with stunning audiovisual presentation. While the ending might seem a bit rushed with the universe lore being dumped at you in several consecutive screens, even for people who do not follow/care about the Werewolf:The Apocalypse lore, the game gives enough organic clues to understand and enjoy what is going on. TLDR: Highly enjoyable, can recommend
As the title says: the game is completly reliant on save scumming, extremly linear, with bugs making combat even more uplesant. Bought it with my friend to have something we can play and have fun, now I just have high blood pressure and bad taste in my mouth. My biggest regret is that I gave this POS chance after seeing, how Ego Draconis (previous game from this studio) was unfocused, ugly mess. So, fuck you, Larian Studios, for making me waste my buddys time and mnoney with your shitty game.
