TLDR: Great game. Definitely recommend to all fans of the "protagonist running around with a bow" gameplay and to the fans of Kena in particular. As someone who's pretty much a one-trick pony when it comes to stuff game developers give to figure out the fights and such, I am so very pleasantly surprised that by the end I was using the whole arsenal of the provided ammo to its (hopefully) full potential. The exploration is fun and rewarding, the world is very vibrant and colorful with very distinct art style, and the story is great for those who loves slavic folklore and rethinking of popular fairy-tales. Voice actors, in my personal opinion, are absolutely great. Does the game has quite a cooky sort of humor that relies on the delivery? Yes, and it does deliver. Played with Russian subtitles for clarify and was doubly so pleasantly surprised by how well the translations match in all regards, that's just a separate point for applause for the development team. Having collected all the stuff that could be collected (outside of achievements, because I'm not playing around with that Good playthough), can definitely say that it's by far my favorite game collectibles-wise, with how intuitive they are to find without having to restort to guides. And when I did resort to guides, the answer I was looking for usually was simply "Get better and win the fight". Oh well. I think the most fascinating, and for some frustrating, part of the game would be not so much the main plot as much as the identity of the main character. At first, I too was a bit frustrated after the ending, in a "That's it?" kind of way. But after sitting on it for a couple of hours of some proper thinking time, I came to an answer that feels satisfying to me personally, and I feel like that's enough. I think that the Voice is actually Yaga's older self, hence why it sounds more mature, knows more things and can talk to the cat. Now, as always with plots based on timelines, the big question is what came first, chicken or the egg? And to that I think, it doesn't matter. Perhaps the game is a journey of making the right choice this time. Perhaps the game is Yaga's way of facing her past and its demons. Either way, I think it ties neatly the identity of the Voice and the game loop of going good-bad-neutral whichever you prefer. Will definitely be following the studio's journey should they make any new projects for us to enjoy. Blacktail is an amazing breath of fresh air among RPGs, and it's lovely to see such high-quality, fun titles outside of Big-A developments. Thank you for the adventure!

the world and design is good, grim yet bright. gameplay is simple, no skill ceiling to play with sadly. side quests, except for two you have to go back to later are fairly quick and fun. story is interesting and has some interesting gameplay and cutscenes to tie with it. Pretty buggy sometimes, i didnt get a few achievements to pop up which was annoying but no game breaking ones

March 2025

It's a fun open world adventure game. The game looks and sounds good and the English voice actors did a great job. The combat gets stale after a while and some areas felt a little too large to explore. The story is ok, but the side quests are fun. I only finished one of the paths and didn't try the new game+.

Dec. 2024

I enjoyed every minute of this game (unfortunately being quite short). The plot is awesome, sidequest are not repetitive, they are funny and enjoyable, the graphics is great. This game is a real piece of art.
