Rate top gamesOne of the best RPGs that I've played in recent memory.
I've played games like Skyrim, The witcher, Fallout, and I would put this game right next to them on the level.
You just gotta keep in mind that this is not a AAA game, so you will find some rough edges and a bit outdated graphics.
But it more than makes up for that in every other aspect!
-> An amazing and interesting world, that is filled with lore and soul. Where you are guaranteed to find something interesting in every nook and cranny. (Not in stupid checklist Ubisoft kind of way, but actually fun & interesting way)
-> Great quests and characters. I rarely do all the quests in any open world game. But this was one of the very rare exceptions. Cause most quests were unique and fun in their own way.
-> I loved the main story even though it doesn't take up more than 10% of your experience time. But when you are playing it or interacting with your King of all Kings, it's sooo good!
-> And best of all, the gameplay is actually solid & fun!
It took The Elder Scrolls five entries and they still haven't managed to make their gameplay fun. Even The Witcher 3 gameplay was for me a 7/10 at best. But Tainted Grail managed to achieve what those others failed to do right from their first game! Other games should learn from what they did here.
-> The skill tree is also not too complicated, but varied enough that it allows you to build various builds according to your liking. (Heavy fighter, mage, mage-fighter, mage-archer, summoner-mage, assassin, ...etc).
Though you could make some very broken builds that would make it easy to breeze through the game after some point. But I advise to not do that cause it would rob the fun out of it. (There are difficulty level that could be adjusted at any time if you get stuck on a particular boss that you just want to finish)
So in conclusion; I wholeheartedly recommend this game to anyone who likes open-world RPG games with great stories and world.
9/10.
