OMG This is an amazing game if you are interested in the medieval times. It's such an underappreciated gem. It has major flaws, totally. (The ending is butchered for one. Several quests were bugged so I couldn't finish them. Some staircases were fatal.) But it does something that other games can only dream of: Somewhat accurately represent a time and a place.
I would go so far as to say this is the only worthwhile historical video game ever made. And I hope it will be the start of many more games of this nature.
As someone mildly interested in history this game just grabbed me with its attention to detail especially the architecture and environments. And the clothing. And the combat. Yes it's not as fluid and telegraphed as in a 'normal' video game but this is the only somewhat realistic sword fighting you have ever seen in a video game or on TV. It doesn't (so much) make the same mistakes that medieval movies make over and over again.
If that doesn't at least get you a little bit interested in this game, then it's just not for you. But personally, I say we need more games like this. I need it, anyway. I cannot wait for their next project. And shame on the websites that were avoiding reviewing this game.
