    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Absolutly stupid game why are there enemies litterally on every single corner at every place in the game but i get 12 arrows either crowd control or single kill strength never both. Game saves pre cut scene which are all massive and tedious so if you fail once its a tedium of pressing circle and sometimes starting from 45 50 mins before your last two missions 10000 glitches 100 failures and just endless trash trash trash, pretty in some ways byt total trash bins wouldnt reccomend if you like enjoying a game buy only like tedious menotinous grinding for rescources to build another arrow every 5 seconds.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The main game is fun and chill but mini games after the boss fights are so obnoxious and annoying. There’s no reward and the resolution is blurred making it nauseating — basic side scrollers with poor clarity in goals as well as forced actions like kill mr larva. Now I’m literally unable to move forward bc the second one with the Raven double jump is not clicking for me. I’d have to spend time trying a very frustrating experience to hopefully move forward if I ever get out which isn’t fun. There’s no skip option and the play is forced to do it instead of optionally skipping and just enjoying the story element. I would have passed on this game if I had known this element was mandatory.… Expand

    Blacktail is a true hidden gem that is just a perfect window into an Alice in Wonderland-like world full of Slavic myths and masterfully written characters with a lot of lore and care written into them. The combat doesn’t revolutionize the genre, but it poses a beautiful atmospheric experience that many people will enjoy.

    An inventive action adventure that draws its inspiration from Slavic folk tales and legends. Its world is stunning and will draw you in to explore without using a million icons on a huge map. The story is also interesting and imaginative. The combat system, however, doesn’t quite reach those heights.
