July 2024

Great story, characters, game in general. Most of the puzzles are fun too, slightly marred by the occasional inscrutable puzzle, that, even after looking at a walkthrough, I couldn't have figured out. Otherwise, this and its sequel are highly recommended.

May 2024

Here my hands have reached the very first creation of Daedalic. In short, I liked the game. The theme of the game is made in medieval style. The events themselves unfold around Geron, a guy who had to go through a lot of adventures in order to save the world from his inevitable fate. The game is made in point-and-click genre, and throughout the game we collect items that are needed to pass the locations. The puzzles in the game are not particularly complex, but sometimes it is quite difficult to solve them without proper guides. The soundtrack in the game is very pleasant and fits perfectly into the theme of the game itself, and the game itself, passes quickly enough, but leaves only positive impressions.

May 2024

Was a pretty fun game. Don't see difficulties in point and clicks, but in this one easy mode has some nice features, and hard difficulty (which I did my first playthrough on) worked pretty well as well. There were only a couple of things that I missed on first sight, without highlights, but everything else was was intuitive and in a way felt more immersive without highlights and such. Story was interesting and there's some choices to make, but it's more if you wanna be a menace in the moment or be nice, and following interactions and the ending are the same no matter what. Graphically it looks pretty good, but a few times the characters felt a bit out of place.

April 2024

In my opinion, this is one of the best hand-drawn point and click adventure games out there. The sequel is equally good too. The story is captivating, the characters are likable, the visuals are beautiful and the gameplay is very good. If you like traditional point and click adventure games then you should try this game.

March 2024

A surprisingly low-fantasy story in the pen & paper role-playing world of The Dark Eye setting. The Dark Eye is a high-fantasy tabletop game from Germany and is very similar to Dungeons & Dragons. It seems there are at least 15 games on Steam in that setting, most of which are kinda shitty, but the best ones among them are the duology: "Chains of Satinav" and the sequel "Memoria". "Chains of Satinav" is MUCH more enjoyable than the previous Daedalic Entertainment game "The Whispered World" which was way too whimsical and had illogical puzzles. Satinav is much simpler and offers some quality of life improvements, but the world is not very immersive for a fantasy game. Also for some reason I expected it to be a cozy game like "Edna & Harvey" but the characters and locations were not very memorable.. The sound design was acceptable and the voice acting was decent. The art was amazing but the character animations were a bit sucky. This 2012 adventure game is a perfect example of Daedalic Entertainment's limits: stick to the tried and tested point & click genre, instead of making something as horrendous as GOLLUM from 2023.
