    The Dwarves is a game that came out of a Kickstarter campaign, and it's absolutely the type of success you'd hope for as a gamer. It's a fun game with a really good story, thanks to a solid adaptation of good source material. It looks good and it sounds good, and my few frustrations with menu controls and a couple of battles I had a hard time surviving really don't diminish my appreciation for the game as a whole.

It's obviously story-driven but... I don't really like the main character and I'm only barely entertained by the story. Besides choosing what direction to walk in, I don't feel like I have much choice in anything.

    I don't think I could recommend it to anyone.    … Full Review »

It's the first of this type of game that I've played, I found it challenging enough without being frustrating. It's a bit glitchie during the loading screens; it may error out at times or take a while to load, but I'm sure that could get corrected with some hotfixes. I do hope they add more content as well, side quests, replay battles without having to run through the story, etc.… Full Review »
