Excerpt
"Chivarly: Medieval Warfare is a frustrating game to review. It’s also a frustrating game to play, but I’m far more willing to chalk that up to my own failures as a gamer. The game ultimately delivers what it advertises: It is multiplayer slasher, it is “gritty and realistic” and is indeed very “fast-pace”. It captures so much of the spirit of medieval combat, but ultimately I felt like I was grasping at it through some sort of barrier: I never felt like I truly connected with that game, and it mostly came down to mechanical issues. The controls feel sticky, the visuals blur far too much, and the game as a whole never really seems to feel visceral."
Enterprising modders have changed the face of video games forever. Some mods have even gone on to become fantastic fully-fledged titles.
Recently, a leak in the Steam API allowed everyone to see some of the most accurate player counts available to date. While the information presented does not fully represent hard sales data, it does count every player that has played a game with achievements more than once on Steam.
While looking through the list we thought it would be interesting to see exactly how well indie games were doing compared to major releases.[…]
A fairly terrible list overall. The only excuse is that most of them are free-to-play games.
It's always strange to see what translates to mass appeal compared to what is objectively "better". I was surprised TF2 was at the top of the list overall (Other than the, once again, free-to-play status).
Today we're taking a look at 10 of the most realistic medieval games out there. No magic, no dragons, no elves, dwarves or any other fantasy creatures.
