I'd be biased about this game. It is one of the first games I have played and was amazed by it. These kinds of games get you hooked to point and click genre. I remember that second screen shot with the world map where you have to do something to avoid a bad thing from happening (spoilers), this game made me study geography, the lesson I hated most... I'd strongly suggest this one, unfortunately this is the only game I played in the series.
I really love the Dark Eye series. A bit of romance, a bit of darkness, a bit humorous. Has the narrative of faerie tales where things get entangled and comes together with twists and turns in the end and everything makes sense. Eventhough it is a faerie tale it doesn't sugarcoat the ending: no "and they lived happily ever after" yet still a type of happiness or hope. The rifle on the wall is definitely fired in this one. Story here does not have a strong, direct connection to the first game "Chains of Satinav". So if you haven't played it you can enjoy this game as well but if you have played you'd enjoy this story even more. This game in my opinion is a wonderful specimen of point and click adventure genre. I <3 Daedalic :D
I've heard good things about this and the concept sounded fun but I honestly regret buying this game. You remember the good old RPGs with their graphics style and music but some parts end up changing too fast and in some parts you just get suck at. Also while reminding the good stuff it keeps reminding and insisting on the annoying game mechanics and enemies of the odlies. I got fed up too quick with this one but maybe pro players might like it? I don't know...
