Realistic single-player RPG set in the medieval Europe. Open-world sandbox with period accurate melee combat. Dungeons & no Dragons.
I pre-ordered the game, full price $60, after getting hooked on the Blacksmith's Tale trailer and I still do NOT regret it.
Even though I have to handicap myself by limiting the framerate to 24-44fps (depending) because of my system (and STILL get crashes because of that), the game is still amazing and loaded to the brim with non-linearity and quality the likes of which I've, genuinely, never seen before in all my years as a gamer. And with custom tweaks with ReShade, the graphics look more true to life.
Many of you may not be interested in RPGs such as this, or RPGs in general, but truth be told neither was I before this game. This ain't your old-style RPG, this does NOT hold your hand like a good portion of RPGs do.
A good game, although very unfinished, bugged and filled with a lot of bland or boring content, the RPG choices you get very often dont change anything and only act as an illusion of choice where the game will default to the same result, and
the main story isnt even fully in the game.
However there are some very good parts such as immersion, exploration, combat and some quests and characters, get it on a 50% or higher discount and only if you have a good computer
You would say that 7 is more reasonable, especially after that shaky start, but **** it, I was waiting for this kind of game from late 90' when first 3D games started to pop up and when era of early 2000 was over and all larger studios where enslaved by large publishers I knew that no one is going to invest into something niche like this. Thank god I was wrong
The definitive medieval-themed game to leave a landmark and influence a whole new generation.
