There were some really good elements, just not enough (2022 review)

User Rating: 5 | Dark Messiah of Might and Magic PC

Pros:

  • Lots of ways to kill enemies with the environment
  • Gore
  • Kill animations
  • Graphics
  • Variety of weapons and magic
  • Difficulty levels (I don’t really care for torture)

Cons:

  • Using a bow is neither satisfying or effective
  • Melee combat feels clunky and is difficult to master
  • Steep learning curve
    • Tutorial is very short and far from comprehensive
  • Frequent crashes

Nitpickey:

  • Story is very meh
    • It had some good points, but overall it never gave me much reason to care

Rating:

  • Story ***** 5/10
  • Gameplay **** 4/10
  • Atmosphere ******** 8/10
  • Overall ***** 5/10
