I read the intro inlcuded in the art book first. Glad I did, it made various aspects of the game perfectly clear. Primordial, metaphysical, speaks to the soul. Xcom and Demon/Dark Souls combined....yeah kind of. Valkyrie in action, Mother fighting to rescue the children from Suffering. I'd rather have a Valkyrie by my side than an automatic sandwich maker in my kitchen. (For the terminally inept: it's two slices of bread with a thing in the middle. For the terminally lazy: ... STARVE!!!) Hail victory, end the suffering!
Inspirational! My cat now wants candy and cake. This game is simple and to the point. The formula is solid. Well done guys, definately feels like the old school spirit. Bring on the next one!
My daughter and I are "point n click" adventure fans. She's a huge Sherlock fan, reads all the books repeatedly. We own all of the Frogwares Sherlock games except devils daughter. This game is odd. If you can get past the rough flaws here and there it has an interesting premise with interesting twists. We both enjoyed it. Only major problem is we discovered tabbing out caused the system to hang for a long time. Which usually led to the game crashing. As long as we didn't tab out all was well. Frogwares is a small team with limited resources, catering to a small niche, people expecting "AAA" polish are fooling themselves. Take the hate with a grain of salt. -1 star for the tab crash issue.
I had no technical problems of any kind. I finished all of the stories minus the expansion one. Couldn't get into Scars of Freedom. I enjoyed the game but, I really didn't care for the supernatural stuff. It would be great if the devs would use the same system and make a more "authentic" period piece, or even a spaghetti western style. The x-com like play was satisfying. However regarding the fact that the ai can make use of over watch, but players can't, is odd and doesn't make sense.
This is a solid game. The refurbishing job was well done. No technical issues. Only complaint....I want more!
I'm on my second playthrough, expecting to do 3 minimum. Lot's of reading, thought provoking, without stuffing one "political" leaning, or another, down your throat. Which given this "modern" age is quite refreshing. Worth what I spent on it, but it seems too short. I had no expectations, I've played planescape, this is not a sequel, or a redo, it's a completely different thing set in the general universe. I'm judging it purely on it's own merits, not by comparing it to planescape. Two different animals. A lot of complaints, most of which seem like complaining for the sake of it. Some are legit, but most are preference oriented. Personally I'm just glad to have some scant few devs left who don't take your money then shovel hours of p.c. political junk down your throat til your eyes are bleeding and you are babeling in old orcish.
No complaints. The kids love it. I don't really like a lot of what Telltale does, but this franchise is refreshingly different in that it's more family friendly. -1 star for the questionable business decision regarding the "adventure pass" thing.
Runs fine. Fun time.
My daughter and I share a love of "point-n-click" games. This is one of her favorites. She played a console version over, and over but it ran horribly. The GoG rersion runs great, and looks way better.
