Blades of Time. at first, I thought it would be terrible and that I'd refund it within the first few minutes, but to my surprise, I ended up really enjoying it. Honestly, during my first playthrough, I didn't care about the story at all and just went around killing everything. The game is actually pretty fast if you play like that, and I don't blame anyone who does. On my second playthrough, I paid a bit more attention to the story and realized it's neither bad nor great—it's just average. It could have been a little better, though. The graphics are nice, the environments look good, and I didn't really pay much attention to the enemies, they do their job. It's worth picking up on sale—I’d give it a 7/10.

It's extremely mid, still better than most of modern slop, so great as a palate cleanser for the right price. Serviceable combat, story and voice acting. Pretty environment and models. Good vibes overall. Recommended with the right expectations.

Oct. 2024

It's a really enjoyable action game that benefits from newer hardware. It has a great atmosphere, nice character design (a necessary comment these days) and the gameplay is very good.

I really rate Blades of Time. I like the hack n slash gameplay, simple RPG mechanics and story. I feel this one flew under the radar a bit. The music also compliments the games atmosphere. If i were to compare the feel and gameplay, it is a cross between Bayonetta and Tomb Raider but in a more "fantasy" setting. The game runs well on most modern day laptops / PC's I've thoroughly enjoyed this one and it would be cool to see a re-master or re-make.
