Taught me the word "portcullis"

A fun little action (light) RPG set in the Might & Magic universe by the studio that'd go on to create the great Dishonored series. Recommended!

Game doesn't launch without doing major tweaks in the game folders as i have searched it. Can't really bother. Turning compatibility to windows xp service pack 2 made the launch but the game crashes after the prologue, while loading chapter 1. I won't try anymore. Disliked

If you're ever in the mood for a more linear RPG that puts you in mind of Oblivion, I recommend Dark Messiah of Might & Magic. It doesn't feel jaded, because it doesn't really feel or play like many other games. I would say it compares best to if you blended Oblivion and Thief (2014) together. It starts off feeling clunky, and it could take a while to get accustomed to how it plays, I'd recommended changing the controls. Beyond that it's a short story and it is incredibly fun, and doesn't look half bad visually. Highly recommended as long as you're the sort of gamer who can handle a little bit of jank.

Oblivion if it was fun

There is a bug with the attack animations by the enemies. I'm not sure what causes this, but the enemies will deal damage then swing. This greatly frustrates the fluidity of the combat system. Until a fix for this bug can be found, I must advise others to not waste their time with this otherwise classic game.

You should be sued for The Crew, enough said, I really don't have to give everyone the whole story unless you have been living under a rock, I've never played nor have given a single cent towards that game, but what you do to your fanbase is criminal, There should be laws against what you have done but unfortunately, you will more than likely get away with everything you've done and more than likely will continue to do, I'm no longer buying any Ubisoft Products, even if you had nothing to do with development but Publish something, I'll be sure to avoid it. Actions need to be taken by the community for these idiots to make changes, but unfortunately, most of Ubisoft fans are blind and love taking it in the ass from Ubisoft and then getting left behind after all their money has been taken. That's all I have too say, be sure to visit https://www.stopkillinggames.com to help the cause of people stealing our ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ money and cancelling support for games people have been playing for years, and if you want even more info, watch this video.

Disappointing. I expected more from the creators of Dishonored. The immersive sim elements, like the interactions with the physics engine, are pretty shallow. It all boils down to abusing the almighty kick. The plot is as run-of-the-mill fantasy as it gets and the big plot twist is telegraphed from ten miles away. Most of the game is impossibly dark even with max brightness. You are forced to abuse the "night vision". Level design is decent if you like extremely linear experiences but the design of the very last level is confusing and bizarre to say the least. Like most similar games from its time and later years, first person sword fighting is extremely shallow, repetitive and boring. Also, this game just cannot run with a modern setup. You need to fetch some sketchy patch made by some dude online to play it. Do yourself a favor and skip this game.

It's fantasy Half Life 2 and it's very good.

Whether I would recommend this game or not is...uncertain.
Combat can be lots of fun, but it also feels kinda stiff and outdated, more so the kick. For my first and only playthrough I went full mage and was quite disappointed. Spells are kinda boring and you chew through mana fast. There were so many weapons that looked cool but I couldn't use any of them because I didn't invest points in the combat tree. Magic fills more of a support role in this game I feel. Sword combat felt more satisfying. Environmental kills are surprisingly consistent. Story is whatever.
Game is very unstable. Even with all the community suggested patches the game still crashed on me from time to time. So SAVE OFTEN.
I guess you could give it a go when it's on sale, it's super cheap anyway. Just prepare for crashes.
