Fantastic game. Satisfying story. Brutal combat. Fun puzzles. Tons of build options. Extensive amount of content. Well worth the price tag.

This game is not similar to the original three. If you know that and go in with an open mind, you might enjoy this. I do recommend avoiding those red groups at the start, the characters are not joking when they tell you about death.

Very underrated game, the best dungeon crawler game out there I reckon. I was put off from buying it for a while due to the simplistic look of the game but it's a gem of a game. There is plenty of depth to how the class setups, skills and weapons work, plenty of varying combinations you can come up with. The audio and the original music soundtrack are excellent, really add to the lore and immersion of the game. The game however has far too many convoluted puzzles and riddles mid game which are used repetitively throughout, there is the option of turning off riddles/puzzles though.

"The Bard's Tale IV:Director's Cut" is actually a good game. Especially if you get it on sale. It has tons of puzzles, turned based combat on a grid, and good Gaelic music. I enjoyed most of the puzzles though there are some annoying ones. If you're a completionist then this game can take a long time so beware of that. I clocked 113 hours in game and still had a handle full of side quests undone. The game does manage to give a feeling of old school gaming. For instance only the main quests have quest markers. The side quests you'll have to figure out yourself. Don't be turned off by the bad rep of "The Bard's Tale IV: Barrows Deep" which was the first release version. It was buggy and full of issues. The Director's Cut version is free to owners of the 1st version. The Director's Cut fixes most of the issues.

very good game, tough at times, couple things I thought they could've done better. Some of the quests were to hard to track........ and inventory was a hassle. Loved the music, game play, combat, graphics were good... 8.5 out of 10
