    Asterigos is a solid debut with a huge world. It just stumbles when it comes to its core combat.

    It is an adventure game with a flavor of the 90s and the beginning of the 2000s. It has large interconnected areas to explore (there is not much to do, but they are large extensions that are connected by channels, tunnels, holes, higher levels, scaffolding. The story It's immersive, a lot to read, a lot to investigate. Interesting (at least intriguing) side quests. It has a map that you can always use (and when you've progressed through the first 3 quests and they give you 4 more)

    The bad:
    The game is bipolar (there are areas with a visual, technical, narrative and structurally complex complexity and next to it the most flat, generic and carelessly made models).

Although the stories and secondary missions are interesting, there is no mark or outline of how to complete them or who to go see, except for the clues that Hild comments on and the vagueness of her notes that she is taking in her notebook. The artistic style is not consistent, there are characters with a cartoon aesthetic, there are characters with a semi-realistic aesthetic, the protagonist has a generic anime aesthetic. difficult achievements. Only by completing the first 3 missions do you access game improvements such as the map, indicating that you are missing and teleportation, many will not see this because they will have tired of the game much sooner. the performance on Xbox One is very poorly optimized and the load of textures and transitions between tunnels and zones are noticeable

    The meh!:
    This game seems to be an unauthorized expansion of Innmortal Fenix Rising or Horizon Zero Down where they already had the material ready and they did not approve the last minute demo and instead of throwing everything away they decided to release it as a separate game    … Full Review »

    It's a ten because the reviews are absurdly low for one of the most solid and enjoyable experiences I've had playing a game. There is no wayIt's a ten because the reviews are absurdly low for one of the most solid and enjoyable experiences I've had playing a game. There is no way this game is anywhere near some of the low ratings it's gotten. You're all absurd and should be ashamed of yourselves.… Full Review »
