When I saw the title pop up in upcoming releases, I rolled my eyes and scrolled onwards. I'm not sure what exactly caught my eye and made me reconsider, but I saw the price on Steam and thought "what the hell, it's fourteen bucks".
I've not been disappointed.
Since I haven't finished it, I'll hold off on a proper review and just list a few things that I absolutely love about the game:
- Gothic horror themes mixed with east European mythology
- solid graphics and monster design
- polished voice acting
- doesn't take itself too seriously and looks like it won't outstay its welcome
- well-written ghost companion takes the place of a faceless pet
- local installer that didn't take hours to complete
- nice array of skills and leveling options
- excellent music
