For a generation, Kalentor turned out some of the best Rangers, Druids and Assassins in the Magic World. Specializing in Nature and Shadow Magic, Kalentor's two student houses provided cadre for the Ranger Cohorts, Druid Cabals and the Assassins' Guild. Things started to fall apart for Kalentor with their relations with the Orc Chieftan. Constantly plagued by the orcs, and with little help from the yocals or formal militia, the graduates of Kalentor fought a long bitter strugge against the forces of Chaos and the Void. At long last, the constant attrition from the Orcs left few defended for the undead plague that was soon to descend. Weep for mighty Kalentor and it's defenders. Weep for the world. 10/10 would totally fail the magic world again This is a charming game. I am not sure how to describe it. It's like the fun aspects of the Fall Out Vault antfarm had a three way love child with Harry Potter and Naratu with a littlle Brent Weeks thrown in. (I was literally making Wet-Boy Assassins that game, and I see basically a clear path now for making Witchers). Change nothing. Just moar. Moar upgrades. Bigger plots. Harder events. Wierder instructors. Just freaking moar please. And I am glad I bought it on gog.
So first off, I was involved with, gaming under and writing (though never published, I wrote, I didn't see it was good) in the cyberpunk genre since 1988 when I read Neuromancer. I was interested in bringing that sort of hacking aspect to my roleplaying games even before when I saw the original Tron in the theaters. I have been a believer in this game company since the first Witcher. They have consistently delivered, and while their launches have had their glitches, their commitment to their games is nothing short of amazing. I was so happy that they got the rights to do Cyberpunk 2077. I had every confidence they would deliver me a true experience of being in Night City. And at that, they succeeded beyond all my expectations. I wanted to feel like I was in Night City, I bought the game, and the only company capable of delivering that experience to me on the planet came through. That is the basis of my 5 star review. I run it on a High End PC. If you ever wanted to feel like Deckard in Blade Runner, Molly Millions in Neuromancer or just you own particular Nighty City Avenger... this is the game, smart boys and girls. 200 hours, all sidejobs and main quest complete, and I still find myself itching boot it up as soon as I wake, move V from her apartment to her Kusanagi Custom, and prowl the streets looking for trouble.
Really enjoy the retro Sci-Fi vibe. Have been with the X-Com franchise from pretty much zero our of UFO Defense. The squad based cover shooter mechanics are average, and rather uninspired. These can be easily overlooked for the atmosphere, story and ambience though. The fact I can only play in windowed mode without a third party program for borderless full screen costs it a star. Would recommend this to fans of the franchise. Worth playing and was a good deal despite it's technical problems at four bucks on sale.
