If you love Portal games and are still waiting for Valve to make Portal 3, then this game is a must. It's clearly inspired by Portal 2, and IMHO, much better. 10/10.
I'm loving this game, fantastic art, great game mechanics, love the music. You can tell this game was made with love and a lot of work, but I can not give it a 5 star rating because there is a terrible stutter even though the game runs at solid 60 fps, and also the game crashes very frequently. I can not play the game like this. I'll wait for the developers to fix it, but I may end up asking for a refund.
I loved every moment of this game. Great story, excellent voice acting, good puzzles, lovely music, and the art direction is... incredible! This is a very beautiful game! I hope there will be a Syberia 5.
I hate to give it one star because I love the game, is one of my top 3 this year. But it crashes too much, and there is a boss (anchor that throws clocks) that crashes every single time so I haven't been able to beat it. I've tried all possible solutions but it keeps crashing. I have a good machine: 6 core Ryzen 5 1600X, 16GB Ram, RTX 2070, SSD installed. I'll have to wait for Remedy to patch the game, as it is umplayable for me right now.
This game is unplayable for me, there is this permanent micro stuttering that makes me crazy. I've tried so many things to fix it but nothing works. Vsync, mods, .ini files changes, etc. I can't recomend a game with an issue like this. I don't care how good the game may be, I can't enjoy it.
I'm not going to get deep into the details, there are already too many great reviews. Just gonna say that I loved Castlevania Symphony of the Night, as well as other games that came after like Harmony of Dissonance, Aria of Sorrow, etc. Those are my favorite Castlevania games, and if you liked those too, then you are going to LOVE Bloodstained RotN. It has all those things that make those games great, and even more.
First of, this game is not about the nameless prince, it is about Princess Elika, so I guess a better name should have been "Princess of Persia". The story of the game is 95% told by the two caracters talking to each other along the way, so you rarely see any cut scenes interrupting the flow of the game, and I liked that very much. You still control the prince, but the Princess is always there and you will need her most of the time. You probably already know that in this game you can not die, not even if you try. To some people this may be a bad thing because it takes away the challenge, but for me this was a great idea because for the first time I played a game where doing crazy jumps is not frustraiting at all, and the game flows very fast since there are no interruptions by loading screens. The combat system may feel a litle simplified, but I liked it too because you are not smashing buttons like in most games, you really have to pay attention to what you are doing. Also this game is not combat oriented, 80% of the time you will be running and jumping all arround. The visuals are beautifull, I loved the art style, it really is like a painting coming to life, especially after each "healing". And one more thing I like a lot about this game is that it is not linear. This time the world is open and you are free to choose where to go all the time. I've played all the PoP games since the very first one, and for me this is the best. If you like complicated and difficult games you may not like this one, PoP it is truly simple and easy to play, but that does not mean you can't enjoy it. Oh, and by the way, the ending was totally unexpected, very original! Just loved it.
