Lamplight City starts brilliantly, feeling like the 2D L.A. Noire fans crave. Cases 1 and 2 are excellent. However, quality plummets from Case 3 due to bugs and poor design. Inconsequential dialogue can permanently lock you out of solving a case, forcing an arbitrary fail state. A great concept, but flawed execution.
Following Drifter and Old Skies, this adventure feels less like an interactive game and more like a tedious book. While those titles delivered their stories dynamically, this one is buried under a mountain of boring text. I appreciate the graphics, but the game engine is clumsy.
It's a Lucas style adventure. It has great humor. Sometimes you get stuck. It should be helpfull if creatives put there some hints how to solve some riddles. There many not logical thinks make you stuck.
This is the third Larian game I've played. This one is the most horrible. Larian moved Divinity into a 3D engine. They use Bethesda's problematic engine. It crashes often, even on the latest CPU, RAM, etc. In Aleroth, I had to lower graphics to be able to move to that village by zeppelin. Here, you find Zandalor closing rifts. Zandalor really hates touches. Not even the mouse can touch him to interrupt his shielding. With that, I decided to uninstall this untested game. Many people tell of Larian's great ability to tell stories, but it only happened in Beyond Divinity. The ability to read minds and riding a dragon is just boring. The dragon just added some flying enemies and extended combat time. Also developers comes with cooldown on spells and hate that so much.
It destroy my nerves with stupid moterbke riding sh... and slashing mini game. Uninistalled after it.
