    If the last third of this game was anywhere near good as the first two thirds, I would have given it a 9.

    Even though my character had schmoozed himself to near the top of society, had a reputation as a famously wise judge and also had maximum 20/20 'might' (loosely associated with swordfighting/intimidation?', my character's life seems to have fallen apart on a whim leading to the last act of the game, and I received a premature game over. This was because all the positive options in the events leading to the endgame were greyed out, as my character was psychologically exhausted / depressed. I married off my low status sister to an elite nobleman (who even didn't mind her illegal hobbies), which was the best thing I could do for her, but the game decided that this was a negative thing, so our mother died of sadness and for some arbitrary reason my elder brother and father who I had a great relationship with just split up the family. This made my character insanely depressed out of nowhere and so in the last act of the game I could not do anything and just stood around dumbstruck whilst my enemies killed me, even though my intelligence and combat stats were all maxed out. The game ended on a crappy note, which really stuck with me. And the last save point was half the game ago, so it's really not worth redoing it all either.
    Is it harsh to say a very poor last act can ruin a game? I don't know but it soured it hugely for me.    … Expand

    A great start, but suffers from excruciating railroading in the final 2 Acts. I was unable to make any meaningful choices in the last dozen or so prompts. Everything was grayed out except for the "do nothing" option, as I had somehow missed an esoteric way for the main character to do anything interesting. I literally watched as other characters finished out the story for me. It wasA great start, but suffers from excruciating railroading in the final 2 Acts.

    You can replay chapters, but there is no "skip dialogue I've already seen" option, so you have to give yourself carpal tunnel clicking endlessly through old text. Easily a 8.5/10 game with a few tweaks to plot requirements and some quality of life changes. Until then, it left a sour aftertaste.    … Expand

    игра очень понравилась атмосферой, задумкой, музыкой, текст хороший, сюжет, но очень много моментов где тупо выбор без выбора и много нелогичных моментов, но опять таки, игра хорошая, рекомендую всем

    Крутая конечно игра, но лично мне всё зауринила система очков, мне всю игру не хватало по 1 очку до какого-либо варианта ответа, при том что не хватало очков в статах которые у меня больше всего вкачены)) Вообщем печально, игра меня душила последние 3 часа конца, жаль.Крутая конечно игра, но лично мне всё зауринила система очков, мне всю игру не хватало по 1 очку до какого-либо варианта ответа, при том что не хватало очков в статах которые у меня больше всего вкачены)) Вообщем печально, игра меня душила последние 3 часа конца, жаль.

    Атмосферно написаная визуалка с мудацкой системой набора очков для хотя бы нормальной концовки

    В целом мне игра понравилась. Текст максимально доступен для каждого и не пытается завалить тебя тоннами терминов и трудночитаемых имен, титулов, провинций и т.д.

    Музыка на фоне очень приятная. Арты к сожалению не могу оценить выше чем приемлемые.. как мне кажется вышло немного скучно. Персонажи есть как интересные так и пустые которым ты не можешь сопереживать, но игра тебе говорит "вот этот персонаж очень важен для тебя" и даже был момент, когда был выбор спасти ценой своей жизни персонажа с которым было 2 строчки диалога.. это удручает.
    Думаю не я один заметил и написал о том, что разработчики не справились с масштабом событий которые сами же заварили. Первые 2 главы я был в восторге, но начиная с 3 главы выборы и их последствия частенько невозможно предугадать, что в определенных местах хорошо, но в подавляющем большинстве вызывает недоумение и полное разочарование потому что я в определенный момент поймал себя на мысли, что делая выборы я не руководствуюсь ни моралью ни логикой, а просто пытаясь поднять какие-то характеристики.
    Но всё же было очень интересно и это та самая игра за которую ты садишься играть вечером или ночью и пытаешься пройти в один заход т.к оторваться невозможно.    … Expand

    A good novel that makes you think about the consequences of each action, it's a pity closer to the middle it begins to stifle

    You can call it perfection. The Life and Suffering of Sir Brante is a brilliantly written story, which lets you fight your own demons or embrace them as a part of yourself. Be the Sir Brante you want to be!

    We certainly did not expect this story-driven, narratively focused game to be as good as it is. Its world is truly original, the characters inhabiting it feel lifelike and the whole game, with its book-like treatment, is simply marvellous to look at.

    A decent text-based RPG with a disappointing illogical ending.
