    A title combining oldschool RPG and demanding action RPG for an original, if sometimes very (too) difficult journey.

    The freedom to explore a gigantic, living world proves to be a bit of a double-edged sword. Exciting exploration, nice boss fights and the thrill of conquering a world spars against dry writing and a touch of repetition in the combat.

    Alaloth has shortcomings, but is pretty addictive at the same time. If you care mostly about gameplay and character development, and the storyline is not that important for you, you will have a great time.

    In its current state, there are simply too many cogwheels missing in the gearbox, so I advise against buying it. Instead, you should reconsider a purchase upon release. [Early Access Review]

I know it is in early acess but they say that the main story is completed... so let's talk about that. There is no single NPC that acts as a story companion. They fight with you. That's it. Do you want a big adventure like in Baldur? Memorable Companions? Forget it. I would even argue that there is no story in the game. Setting? Yes. World building? Yup. Great lore and stuff. But story? No... your character is just there in the world and needs to find 4 pieces of something and fight the bad guy. It's like a really big... fetch quest. There is no mystery, no turn, no... nothing. There is a guy... in the middle of the map. Your quest is to fight him. End.

    Frome feature pov there are a lot of bugs, really weird design choices (who the hell thought that lack of mouse control in menus is a good idea?), the game is totally unbalanced and stuff like that. But it's EA. I would forgive all that if there would be an epic adventure somewhere there. But there is not.

    Sadly it feels like empty shell.

The graphics and scenery are breathtaking, and interface is neat and tidy. The soundtracks are fitting in every scene. The game is worth re-playing at least once, and maybe more. Full Review »
