The Bard's Tale 4 is a blessing for your ears and mind with well designed puzzles, eargasmic soundtrack and intricate combat but is let down by elements like; a railroad like path, tedious inventory, long loading screens and restricting movement.
The Bard's Tale 4 will receive massive Director's Cut DLC this June.
The 'Second Sight' update makes dramatic changes to inXile's old-school dungeon crawler.
From Eurogamer: "'I'm sorry this review arrives late, but The Bard's Tale 4: Barrows Deep is stubborn. Trying to power through it is like trying to solve a great pile of crosswords in one sitting: your brain would turn to mush. You could cheat - The Bard's Tale 4 includes a walkthrough out of the box - but you would rob yourself of the point of the puzzle in the first place. The answer doesn't really matter; it's the process you undergo to get it and the satisfaction you feel when you do that counts. In this way The Bard's Tale 4, one giant collection of puzzles, can be enormously satisfying, but force the issue and you will bang heads with it. It cannot and should not be rushed."
