I enjoyed every minute of this game (unfortunately being quite short). The plot is awesome, sidequest are not repetitive, they are funny and enjoyable, the graphics is great. This game is a real piece of art.

Probably one of my favorite games. The map is very vast and if you go in with a sense of wonder you'll be entertained for hours. If you're just looking to do main story you aren't going to have much to do, however. A lot of this game has to do with side quests and searching for chests.. I feel like this is a very underrated game.

Really enjoying this game so far on PC and Steamdeck. There is a visual issue with Steamdeck, you MUST disable half rate shading to resolve an odd blackening of the screen when looking at a specific direction, which can prevent progression. This is a setting outside of the game, not within it. Tried a lot of settings and rendering choices trying to resolve. Disable the half rate shading and will immediately resolve this darkness issue.

Magic, whether viewed through traditional or modern lenses, played a pivotal role in shaping the protagonist’s identity and her upcoming journey. Yaga’s supernatural abilities hinge on a morality system and the skills players can concoct. The game deliberately embraces a stark, fairy-tale contrast between good and evil, empowering players to decide the path their character will take.

Initially I just grabbed this, because I saw archery and an atmosphere that looked interesting. It turned out to be a lot more. Blacktail's atmosphere that gripped me turns out to be both a vibrant and gloomy fairy tale land. Your character Yaga, is a girl that appears rather conflicted, scared and looking for answers. For you however, in the start all that seems extremely confusing as you've been put right into it. A lot you meet on your journey is based on various child fairy tales and you meet rather odd characters like talking dead fish, mushrooms who are shadowy or knightly in "origin" and really creepy rocks. The story is great as how it's told and shown. Yaga's journey to "find herself" and her answers to her past are both the main quest through normal gameplay and various little odd minigames on how you patch together the answers. The game doesn't throw a lot of side quests at you. Instead there are only a few to each "season", but they are fairly memorable this way. One quest sends you into a quarry to defend it in a tower defence style, where you have to shoot anything that moves with your bow. Another quest sends you across a battlefield where stones are fighting each other, except stones show no movement when looked upon, so the entire battlefield fighting only happens behind you as you look away. Yaga sports only a small arsenal being her bow, a bit of magic and a few utility items. You have 3 different arrows, but overall encounters and enemies require you to switch between these and it feels neither too annoying nor too simple. The boss battles can feel a bit easy, but as some require awareness of the field, then it could prove to be a challenge. A really great take on the old fairy tales :)
