greedy and unfathomably stupid company, that has some sort of genetic hardcoding to never learn from their mistakes

FIX THE MOONLANTERN BUG

well worth it, battles are EPIC

Severely underrated game because of it's gladiator mode which is really good. Basically Spartacus: Blood and Sand / Gladiator / 300 all mashed into a video game. The campaign is also good IMO, if a bit short. But its all about the gladiator coop mode which really makes this game shine for me. Picked it up on sale for 2.99, and am amazed by the game. Can strongly reccomend, don't trust the old reviews, it is a really good game with the gladiator DLC that is now included in the steam version. Execution animations are crazy good and very high quality.

Its awesome

best tw game, unpopular opinion

Short Version : Amazing Game, totally underrated due to its admittedly rough start (many bugs and game breaking glitches). Most, if not almost all issues have been patched now and the Game is really worth it.

Long Version:

You start out as literally a ♥♥♥♥ covered bohemian peasant who can do ♥♥♥♥ all and gets trashed by even the lowest bandits. The game forces you to learn the combat mechanics but the realism goes so far that even in lategame if you go 1v5 you can still get rekt if you are not careful. The game is very rewarding and also extremely immersive. I would say it is the most realistic historical game currently out there. You have a lot of different skills apart from combat (alchemy, hunting, etc) which makes it interesting to explore what the game has to offer.

A few negatives are that the game is kinda short, even if you do a fair bit of side quests, and that the combat system, which is probably the best ever for 1v1, sucks hard for 1v 3+. It gets very hard to deal with being swarmed and you need plate armor ASAP to counter this otherwise you get killed everytime.

All in all I can really recommend this game as someone who has played a lot of historical games and history buffs will really love the detail the devs put into the design for some places. Although short, the main story is awesome and really showcases the journey you make from a nobody - peasant to a professional soldier. Very rewarding and extremely well paced, with some missions being completely different than any you did before or would have expected (Monastery !!).

9.5/10 if you like history,
otherwise maybe like 8.5/10

"Remember this as the day, when you almost caught Captain Jack Preorder, ha- " ..oh ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ I bought it again.

u get to basically play as Davy Jones and his band of messed up tentacle porn monsters from POC

YARR HARR /11

This was the first game I ever played so it has a special place for me, and Beamdog did the game justice. Basically the same just nice and refined, new stuff, classes, quickloot bar (best thing ever!). Just what I wanted. Icewind Dale along with Baldurs Gate 1 and 2 are legendary tier games, 10/10.

Anyone who likes some story like in Baldurs Gate but which focuses more on tactical combat and party creation/building will love this game. I know Icewind Dale II cant be made because the source code was lost, but if you redo it Beamdog that would be awesome.

One of the best games ever.

So I recently replayed this game as hard mode was released. I like a challenging (horror) game and tbh it is a fair challenge. Alien Isolation is the only game that really rivals this one in scare factor for me. (Although IMO hardest difficulty in Al.Is. is way harder than amnesia Hard Mode). The ambience and sounds really scare the ♥♥♥♥ out of me in some areas. Some places are pitch black and even simple audio effects like chains clanging around can really scare the ♥♥♥♥ out of you.

The game is fairly difficult on the first playthrough, as you first have to figure out some of the puzzles. After that I would recommend Hard mode as it is too easy otherwise. With the addition of Hard Mode its worth another playthrough, it is significantly harder mainly because you can't save very often which keeps you on edge even if you know what will happen.
Great Game, 9/10, does right what a good horror games needs to do right.
