Hero-U: Rogue to Redemption

Pretty bad.

Pretty bad, honestly. I wanted to like this, but there just isn't much good to say about it. The story, setting, and characters are all just uninteresting. It's extremely grindy, and you'll spend a lot of your time just building up stats through scheduled training as if you are playing a friggin dating sim. There just isn't much of an open world feel to it when your time is so strictly limited, and I think the scheduling aspect really makes the game suffer. Without the scheduling/dating sim aspect it would be an extremely short and subpar QFG game where you can only play as the thief. The puzzles are all extremely easy, although sometimes designed in a baffling way. For instance, there's a storyline where you need to catch this thief who is stealing apples and crap. To do this you need to first ignore it completely for about a week despite constantly being told you hear noises in the night, and then finally get up in the middle of the night when you are arbitrarily given the option. It really seemed at this point like I was just going to get a game over for failing to catch this thief, but nope I was doing everything right by doing jack shit. You then have to set traps for it three nights in a row in pre-determined spots (and you have no options to set traps anywhere else). I redid the first night of this a few times since it really seemed like I was screwing it up, but nope, I was doing it right. I like the idea of a turn based combat system for these games, but the implementation isn't any good. A lot of the time there will be enemies off screen that you have no way to target or look at, and once they are on the screen they are almost near enough to attack you. In a game with such a focus on throwing items this seems pretty unforgivable. The enemies also move very slowly, which makes combat an absolute chore to sit through if there are three or more enemies. Without these shortcomings combat would be really meh and uninteresting, but not actively terrible.

Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales

Game doesn't work.

I'm a few minutes into the tutorial and already running into bugs causing the game to freeze up. I don't think it's asking too much to be able to get through the tutorial without finding game breaking bugs.
