You like P&C Adventures? Then this could be your game! What you should know: - long playtime + repeatability (multiple solutions) - political correct, without poisoning the story with Wokeness to much - the controls are perfect and visual clear (your Character can even sprint by holding down LM) - the difficulty ranges from easy to “I can’t believe this is a solution” - the Game rewards experimenting (like waiting until a power source runs try) - MASSIVE AMOUNTS of Voicelines (almost to much)! - most of the problems in the story, only applies to America! (expensive medical attention, influence of politicians, quality assurance of Food, influence of the Army) - the humor is, what i call "silly boy humor". A lot of Fart, Ewww and stupid jokes, all appropriate for younger audience - after you switch Character, the humor becomes more cynical and dark (and therefore way better, in my opinion)! - Betty will constantly over-pronounce and stretch out words for the reason of Entertainment. I leave it to you to decide whether its a positive or a negative. (Keyword: Paimon from Genshin Impact) - the dubbing is only available in English. Which is a pity for non-English speaking audience, since this game has quite difficult English. (complex sentences, political terms and scientific terms) Verdict: One of the best P&C Adventures out there! If only they would refrain from those toilet-jokes.. thank you for reading
Positive: • Good technical condition (currently) • Proven and tested Frostbite engine • NPC daily routines • Medieval setting • FULLY voiced in multiple languages • After only 19 years on the consumer market, SSDs have finally arrived at the developer • Many varied quests with surprises • Learning by doing • Modding support Negative: • Combat system: A rhythm minigame without rhythm, but with quick-time events • USK 18 Rating: Alcohol abuse! (no nudity and no brutality) • Fantasy: Wokeness over realism! (Homosexuality, people of color & female dominance) • Progression: From nobleman to bandit • Mouse & Keyboard Controls: Horrible! There are three different confirmation keys, not even counting double-clicks and holding down. The combat minigame is controlled with the camera. In some menus, the mouse cursor completely disappears. • Characters: Mixed! Most of them (regardless of gender, class, and nationality) are pretty arrogant. However, it is generally seen as positive when the Player loudly announces in a full room that they want to suck someones flute. • NPC AI: Supernatural powers! (Teleportation, silent communication with allies, can identify Henry without eyecontact, see through walls and vegetation, sometimes ignore hits, continue walking unhindered with multiple projectiles in their body, preparing combos while Henry is still in conversation, zero milliseconds delay between beeing aimed at and raising shield) • Language: Overly modern and woke! (emersion-killer) • Playtime: Artificially stretched! (through: running back and forth, survival mechanics, washing, carry capacity, merchant wealth, fatigue, wellbeing penalties from quests and time skips) Verdict: Overall, I’m disappointed! It can’t keep up with its predecessor or other medieval games. If you’re still interested in buying it, I highly recommend using mods (Nexus). Thank you for reading
