For the very first game of their career, the studio responsible really did an awesome job. Great giant monsters too! The Arks (and especially the Glasstail) were all impressive designs, and very challenging, and when was the last time you had to climb on a monster to defeat it? Of special note is the various human and humanoid party members (and the personal issues they struggled with.) They added serious depth, dimension and personality to the game. You truly felt like you were dealing with individuals, and living out THEIR lives too. Well done! However, they talked a bit too much in the dialogue screens. Sometimes to the point where you lost interest in what they were saying. The varied armor/weapon sets, and the magic skills added balance. There was a tool for every job. This studio has a lot to live up to with such a strong first release, but they'll come through. We all await your next game. VERY good game!

The Lord Of The Night vs. The Dark Knight. Face it, you've ALWAYS wanted this. Add to the voice talent of the incredible Peter Stormare as Dracula (as well as his role as the vampire Lord Harkon in The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim) AND Mark Hamill as The Joker, and this movie is a real treat! A very dark, gritty tale of logic and deduction pitted against the supernatural, and a fun time too. Definitely worth the time of any fan of The Dark Knight.

Only a 4 because of a few things, "so to speak." There should have been better offenses and defenses against aerial creatures...if they could hit you all the way across the screen, the ability should be mutual. There should have been upgrades to your Primary and Secondary weapons at the forges, as well as to the Gauntlet Stones themselves. NO game of this kind should EVER be without weapon upgrades! On the plus side, Sand Surfing was really cool! It beats walking, and looked so neat onscreen. Well done! The story was also good too. Graphics? Seeing these ancient cities, once seats of great power now nothing more than thousand year ruins and crumbling walls was nicely done. It gave a real sense of destruction to the game. You guys did OK! Let's see some more improvements to an already cool game!

E-NOUGH of the Dark Souls type games already! Enough of having to fight a 2 or 3 stage end boss with little to zilch left to fight it with by stage 3, with a night of unlimited reloads as your reward for busting your backside to get that far to begin with... And for what, to beat the game only to get treated to a cut scene that does nothing but leave you hanging with no real ending? On the other hand, Enki was a very enigmatic creature, and the boss monsters were unique. Also, the occasional use of their respective ancient languages was cool too. Also, to be fair, when's the last time a game took place on a planet where 15th/16th century firearms were used by soldiers in Old World European military uniforms? Very interesting idea! As it is, the game just isn't bad. It's passable, and just needed a little more time in the oven. Don't buy it, play it on Game Pass instead. Or wait until it's on sale for $1.99 in the bargain bin at Target.

The game is graphically brilliant, with a mix of very apparent influences, the most obvious being Dead Space. Also, with regard to the character's telekinetic powers, a small nod to "PSI OPS-The Mindgate Conspiracy." While TCP is overly harsh in some spots, many save spots exist throughout. Depending on the player's skill, this can be good or bad. We all know what getting stuck at a save point with low health and little ammo can be like, especially before a boss battle. However, experienced players will find themselves getting from point A to point B with just enough to get them ready for the next round of monsters, maybe extra if they're good. Avoid spending nearly $70.00 on the game and play it on Game Pass instead. Or wait until Steam goes bargain bin on it. It's not a great game, but it's no slouch either. Also, if the game's creators put this much effort into their next game, and just a BIT more time in the oven, it's going to be REALLY intense!

Having not tried anything new in awhile, I gave this one a chance after I saw the trailer, and I was very pleased. The artwork is amazing, so simple yet so colorful and fairy tale-like. "Once upon a time," indeed! 🙂 And like most kids' stories of that time, it was very grim, most likely to scare kids into behaving. I know "I" would behave if I knew creatures like these were waiting for me in the dark... Overall, a very nice job and I hope to see more from this company. Congratulations to all involved in the making of this game, you guys and gals are awesome!

Control issues on Xbox-can't access skill points or inventory menu, and in general there's too many controls. Blocking is too immersive-hold thumbstick "this" way while holding left trigger. A simple pull of the LT would have sufficed. Nice game but needs some definite polish.

What can be said about a series based on one of the most popular game franchise of all time? LOTS, and all good. See it for yourself and enjoy, because there's a lot to enjoy-great story, very human (and some not-so human moments) and a great group of voice actors, including the one and only Queen Of Goth herself, Barbara Steele. What an honor to have a woman of her caliber and legendary status gracing this series with her voice!
