Sorcery Is for Saps is one of, if not the, best Fantasy game that CoG has to offer.

I'm an avid customer of Fantasy esque Choice of Game titles and because of this I would like to think that I have a fair grasp on what is enjoyable (in my opinion) and what is not.

The overarching story is grand but not so involved that it outshines the smaller aspects.
The writing itself is predominantly flawless (in terms of grammar) and most importantly it is witty, humorous and entertaining.
The mystery that the plot hinges on is expertly unraveled throughout the game and keeps you on your toes enough so that you can never be sure exactly who is behind it until the later chapters.
It also does a great job at expressing the characters to the point where you feel like you understand them and their motives without learning their entire life story.
Above all, I feel like the choices you make during the game significantly impact the story and the possible achievements confirm this. With every playthrough where you make differing choices your story will change, sometimes slightly and other times it will differ wildly.

I wholeheartedly recommend this game to anyone who enjoys the genre.

Normally I don't feel the need to write a review as others would have already expressed my opinion. However, seeing Fatehaven with only two reviews, one of which is negative, I can't help but comment.

My favourite genre is Fantasy so I would like to say that I've read a fair few books where I have been enraptured by the storytelling and this book... game? Did a great job at it. I wouldn't go so far as to say that Fatehaven is on par with titles like 'The Name of the Wind'. However, I would say that if you enjoy the classic tropes introduced by Tolkien and if you have ever yelled at the main character in a story for doing something stupid, wishing that you could have made the decision instead, this interactive novel might be for you.

It also does a bloody brilliant job of making you the protagonist or antagonist and evoking your emotions.
