This is has to be the worst designed point and click i ever played to this day. Story is your standard B-movie like mystical thriller, nothing special in that regard. VA are atrocious, listening to americans pretending to be french physically hurts. Narrative presentation is... also atrocious. Developers tried to create non linear game and failed hard. Often dialogs make no sense, as character start to blabber about things that did not happened at that moment or protagonist had no clue at that point of time. One of the characters works just like exposition machine. She exists simply to provide exposition dumps to protagonist, dumps that often should not even concerns him at that moment. Existence of such a character in the storyline is the best example of writers impotence.

Than we have puzzles... yeah... and its the worst part of the game, not because of moon logic or something like that, no. Because most of puzzles here are solved by tedious selection method. But thats not all this game from 2002 has... drum roll... A SOFT LOCK! Yep! You thought that by that time developers all over the globe realized that soft locks are bad, but apparently not blokes that created this steaming piece of something.

To the trashbin it goes! Thumb down.

PS: considering potential for soft lock, you may want to restart game... and there will wait an another surprise - unskipable dialogs! Because devs really, really wanted you to listen to their atrocious VA reading their atrocious nonsensical lines written in service of a story about evil wizard.

Very amateurish turn based RPG. Dont be fooled, its not a tactical game or a strategy. It is a really basic RPG and nothing more. There are things that can be liked about this game, mainly engaging story and character writing... and thats actually it. Well... and maybe price during sales. Everything else feels like this type of game are not exactly developers forte... and its true, as Daedalic are ( were, they are dead ) known for adventure games. Every other aspect of the game, including most important one - direction/design is rather subpar for its time... and frankly for other times too. I doubt that if Blackguards came out in the late 90's, they would got any kind of substantial recognition either.

I was rather hesitant to give thumb down to Blackguards, because even thou game at times annoyed me alot, its story and characters in the end did swayed me to refrain from that action. But 4th chapter was that final straw that broke the camels back. My annoyance meter got filled and thumb down is now given.

BioWare at their peak would wish that their games would be as good as BG3.

In 1998 Lucas Arts decided to release a game, where you can literally stuck in the dead end in last level if you will go in wrong direction. In 1998, the same year that saw releases of such FPS classics as Half-Life, Sin and Unreal. Game design and level design in this game is a massive step back even in comparison with original Dark Forces II. Sure, original game had some quirks with its maps, but overall it was a pleasant classic Star Wars experience. This game... this game isnt. Dont be fooled by its title, its not a Jedi Knight, its a Lab Rat the game.

In general, puzzles that require purely erudite knowledge arent bad. Puzzles that require purely esoteric knowledge and are potentially unsolvable are bad. This game has both. Which means - tumbs down.

One of the worst games i ever played.

For starters, im not a fan of RE 4, in fact i really dislike it and consider RE5 to be a better game. Before playing RE6 i considered RE4 to be the worst RE game. I knew about bad reputation RE6 has among community, but before playing i dismissed its bad rep as just a standard "wide fanbase" backlash ( think of the divide between OG trilogy fans and RE4 fans and RE4 fans and RE5 fans ). But after playing RE6 for a few hours with my friend i now understand why people were/are calling it the worst game in franchise. It is just mind boggling how someone can even like that pile of... something. Everything that could be wrong is wrong in this game, controls, interface, graphics, story. Everything. Literally. I wont go in to details, because this games is 12 years old at this point and im sure that there are plenty of positive and negative reviews out there, that will tell you in detail about RE6. All i willing to do, is to give this game thumbs down and recommend you to ignore any positive reviews that RE6 has, because this game is just that bad.

One of the worst games i ever experienced, not only because of bizarre unresponsive controls but due to overall outdated gamedesign. And when i say outdated i mean not 2024 outdated, but 1996 outdated. No wonder that practically no one remembers this component of Shadows of the Empire project.

Another Pdx "we not making Early Access titles, but here are our Early Access title" game. Heavily contaminated by Pdx GSG/4X hybrid that abandoned alot of what actually defined AoW franchise for the sake of attracting Pdx CK3 fanbase. This includes single player story campaign, that got replaced with badly balanced random scenarios.

Also game interface is clearly made mainly with consoles in mind.

A natural evolution of CK franchise. Dixi.

A massive improvement over EU:R. Dixi.
