E4G: Imagine stepping into the shoes of an almost completely insane king who's living deep inside one of his own nightmares. You must fight your way through caves littered with undead skeletons and knights whose only intent is to peel your flesh from your bones. After sending the rampant spirits back to their graves you encounter a powerful demon who has darkened your mind and clouded your judgement. At the last second, the demon wisely retreats and maintains a firm grasp upon your mind.
Generic world, dumb NPCs, and forgettable story, but can it still be fun? Read all about it here.
One man's bad game is another man's good game.
While many will disagree with the author, i will say that i am actually interested to get Arcania now. It was on my mind a while ago but i forgot all about it. Hopefully its a good game.
Just don't expect a top-tier premier RPG and hopefully you'll have fun with it - thanks for the comment!
As long as you don't expect a AAA top-tier RPG there's a lot of fun to be had in Arcania. It's a great game to play with headphones on, curtains closed and for extended play sessions - If you pick it up I hope you enjoy it!
But I expect AAA quality, and Arcania doesn't have that. Witcher 3 is undeniably better than Arcania, check ANY review and see, you are one of a billion to like Arcania better, but I don't take it from you, play what you will...
I could probably list 10 reasons why The Witcher 3 is better than every oher game ever made. But at the end of the day it will still only be an opinion and not objective fact.
You should do it! I'd love to read an article like that.. It's a really good game and there's a lot to love about TW3, but parts of it didn't quite click with me - thanks for commenting!
How can someone say, that a dense story is bad and straightforward story is good? I didn't even read the rest, he is just wrong.
I just didn't really know what was going on in TW3 and this comes from someone who has played the first 2 games (which had superior stories imho)The story was decent but the pacing was off and it was abit all over the place - thanks for commenting though!
The story was best of all the series IMHO, I can't believe someone can actually say, that dense story is a disdvantage, that game is huge, what did you expect, it's like saying, that you don't like your salary because it is too big... :facepalm:
Old School RPG Fans Rejoice! Colin Checks Out the First Hour of Arcania: The Complete Tale on the PlayStation 4
This game looks pretty tight, I like the Action RPG style that Fable puts forth but for me Fable just never had enough going on in it. Feels very much like an unfinished concept especially in Fable 1. Perhaps this would be a good alternative for those unwilling to check out Fable III.
This game triumphs Fable III in every way possible.
its the worst gothic i ever played and why in the hell they put gothic name in this game... they should just called it arcania or whatever the sh*t is... they dumbed down almost everything that makes gothic different from your typical PC's rpg, this is not gothic... but the graphic is pretty awesome and it has less bugs and more polished compares to any other gothic's games, i guess spellbound is more capable developer than piranha bytes
