I understand negative reviews, i was skeptic too at the beginning, seeing that i already died a lot in the first hour of play. Then you get the grasp of the tricky point of view, game mechanics and everything. Suddenly dieing isn't a problem anymore, in fact you often use it to regain some hearts. And you start to enjoy this beatiful looking game. It's a difficult game, without any tip or help except the research you can do at the library. In this recent years of gaming, where you are walked through a game almost by hand, it's a breath of fresh air. You have to really struggle to solve puzzles, monster don't get too much easy when you "level up". It's a game i don't hurry to finish, though i play every time i get the chance.… Expand

It looks gorgeous and it's hard but that makes it all the more rewarding when you figure out a puzzle. I haven't felt this strongly about a game in years.… Expand

   За красивой картинкой скрывается абсолютный клон ранних Зельд, максимально недружественный к игрокам. Все элементы геймплея до боли знакомы, но не доведены до ума. В игру сложно начать играть и также сложно её не бросить. Постоянно приходится догадываться, что делать дальше, как это пройти, куда идти, зачем это вообще и пригодится ли потом. Разрабы добавили подсказки по каждому заданию, которые можно получить за деньги в городской библиотеке. Я ими редко пользовался, в итоге десяток заданий так и не выполнил, полные комплекты оружия и брони не собрал. Да оно и не требуется для прохождения.
   Если мало жизней, рядовые враги практически всегда могут убить героя, даже если вы знаете их слабые места. Так как трёх сердец жизней на старте и до половины игры крайне мало, умирать будете каждые две минуты. В игре приличные боссы, кроме финального, со многими из них придётся повозиться.
   В общем, Baldo получилась очень неоднозначной. На каждый плюс полтора минуса. Странное повествование, неадекватная сложность, затянутые подземелья, неочевидные решения. А ещё полностью слитая концовка. Разработчики старались, но опыта на всю игру им не хватило. Тем не менее, поставлю ей 6 из 10.… Expand

   This game has such potential but is a complete disaster. Starting with losing your earned heart containers & orbs upon saving and reenteringThis game has such potential but is a complete disaster. Starting with losing your earned heart containers & orbs upon saving and reentering the game. Things to collect are landing where you cannot reach, more specifically because there’s no jump option. Fighting is a joke when you die in one hit. Creatures should become harder throughout the game, not be nearly impossible from the start. I haven’t seen a way to replenish hearts. No obvious direction in this game making it difficult to navigate. What a disappointment.… Expand

   Beautiful art direction weighed down by glitches and inopportune moments of frustration. A game inspired by studio ghibli and Zelda influencesBeautiful art direction weighed down by glitches and inopportune moments of frustration. A game inspired by studio ghibli and Zelda influences that fails to execute is an insult to the community. This is and should only be an Apple Arcade game not released on other consoles. Unless a patch fixes these issues stay clear. The gameplay is clunky, response times are sluggish and being one shot by enemies is tedious. Who ever approved this game to be released on consoles needs to be checked… Expand
