View generally accepted – desperate times require desperate measures

Obsidian Entertainment, California, offered several interesting games, including several wonderful RPGs such as Fallout: New Vegas and eternity pillars. It is for the world named Eora from the last game that we are now returning in a separate name, which, according to existing demonstrations, was compared with Skyrim or the “fantasy version”. Both of these comparisons make sense, although the game is somewhat more “concentrated” than Skyrim, and plays mechanically better than external worlds.

Modern topics in fantasy clothing

Audi -Imperia seeks to colonize a new continent behind the ocean, called conveniently “living lands” or “living country”, thanks to an unnaturally wild flora and fauna of this region. In addition to naughty nature, the colonists also encounter radical fighters of indigenous tribes, and now the mysterious deadly epidemic has appeared under the name “DreamScourge”. As a special agent in the empire, you are sent to a place for the exam and, if possible, to resolve this last threat. Literally, however, the whole country will be against you, and in desperate situations desperate decisions or decisions will be required.

Adawed does not hide the fact that he collected a number of modern topics in the traditional fantasy dressing gown, whether it is the problem of colonization and immigrants, or the theme of a dangerous epidemic, which many persistently downplay. This approach leads to interesting situations when you must make an empire with unique abilities and the ability to solve the fate of many creatures, entire villages or regions. Although not all dialogs were written equally well, it often happened to me that I thought about some choice for long minutes, or that I was very shocked by its consequences.

A dangerous epidemic that stubbornly underses.

Unfortunately, the good impression of history is somewhat violated by the uneven quality of the letter, where some dialogs or, possibly, the records discovered look better, while others are worse, just like the work of several authors of different levels. A similar contradictory impression also remained in me with four satellites, which you will gradually attract your pig, and then accompany you during the survey and struggle. Some of them sympathize and strongly dug up their favorite actors, others, who I wanted to kill myself when I heard. Nevertheless, none of them can have romance, although they flirt with you and indulge in the romantic relations of various orientations.

Concentrated playground

At first glance, the game can really remind the Skyrim or Elder Scrolls series as a whole, because it is a fantastic game from your own point of view, with a relatively big emphasis on the fight. Mechanically, I was pleasantly surprised how well the game was controlled, including Parkour elements. Although the spells look great, I chose the last of the three professions. You can use pistols or rifles, but I played as a creeping killer with a bow all the time: the shot does not hear and does not improve the ability to slow down time so that you can give a bush of headlife shots to the enemies in their camp even before they understand that they will understand that You are there. I must admit that I really liked this style of play in a quiet sniper, and the game in this regard works mechanically better than any FPS. How much the game slides from RPG to action also depends on your complexity settings.

But what is missing against Skiri is extensive exteriors and the opportunity to dream of them. The local environment is intended as individual areas, which are relatively small and, above all, very thickened content, whether it is groups of enemies, ruins of buildings for study or other “hot spots”. I was very sorry, because the wandering of an impressive landscape deserves a small “breath” instead of fighting or plundering. The impression of the concentration of the game is also associated with its large -scale area: the creators themselves mentioned that the main story will probably end in ten hours, but if you perform some of the side tasks, you will be closer to thirty hours. Not only the volume of the game resembles the game external worlds.

The game works mechanically better than any FPS.

The creators of the game officially and unofficially issued several more or less happy statements, including “romance would be too much to succeed” or “a game for one does not need more than 30 frames per second.” Fortunately, after a turbulent negative response of the players, the creators ultimately worked on optimization, and the game on Xbox Series X works in relatively stable 60 frames, although due to a significant reduction in the quality of the image (see screenshots above). Again, Unreal Engine 5 offers impressive effects, and especially in later places in the game will also attract creative aesthetics, including music. For example, at the best moment of the game, I remembered Caelid from Elden Ring. The game will also arrive from the first day before the subscription to the game pass, so you can try it without buying.
