    The dull broken side of medieval busywork. [Issue#198, p.72]

    The authentic medieval atmosphere makes this virtual world a joy to get lost in... Or at least that would be the case, if the game weren't absolutely riddled with bugs and other technical issues. As it stands, this supposed piece of entertainment is a jumbled mess.

    A gaming experience will never feel real, much less truly playable, when it's plagued with as many bugs as this game is—not least of which is its failure to at times recognize your button inputs.

    Yes it's kinda buggy, but all respect to Varva and his team for making one of the best settings in RPG history
    No magic and stuff, only

    No magic and stuff, only hardcore medieval times
    I will give it 10/10, just because of people who will cry about bugs (I know there is lags but they will fix it, it's small team and independent studio) and SJW who will give it 0/10 because of "no POC in game"
    Strong 8/10

    No wonder why there was no previews of this before release, from the drops in frame rate to the unbelievable amounts of bugs and crashes toNo wonder why there was no previews of this before release, from the drops in frame rate to the unbelievable amounts of bugs and crashes to the dead world outside of the city, with some of the worst colour patterns I’ve seen make this an absolute piece of overhyped trash. It’s remarkable how something can be released so unpolished. So it will 12 patches and 6 months to maybe have the game where it should’ve been at release. Full Review »

    Good God – what a screw up. It it's current state, the game should never have been released.

    Good God – what a screw up. It it's current state, the game should never have been released.

    Controls are sluggish, textures a mess, AI is poor and many game mechanics broken or poorly ported to the PS4. Everything feels poorly executed.

    Archery, lock-picking and pickpocketing are a joke. And even the hyped combat system is a joke –there is no elegance or finesse involved: block, stab and try getting away from enemies who are literally glued to you.

    Should you believe this a medieval variant of Skyrim, be assured it is not. What a wasted opportunity for this game studio. I just hope they patch the worst bugs. Till then hands off.
