I've played both Dark Eye: Chains of Satinav and the follow up game Memoria. I love both and a huge part of that has to do with the art style and over all aesthetic. They make me feel nostalgic for certain fairytale books I used to read as a child. I like that certain things feel a bit more painterly and less slick. There's a nice blend of 2D and 3D in terms of animation, which maintains the storybook quality. There's also some limited animation being used which, depending on your gameplay preferences, might irk people, but I personally love/appreciate it. (I'm also an animator, so I know how painstaking it is!) I appreciate how limited animation allows for time expenditures elsewhere, but still have small movements bring a scene to life. Overall, 'Chains of Satinav' is perhaps not as exciting or 'epic' as the second game, but I think a good intro game often should be the quieter of the two, since it sets the stage. You spend time with two characters in 'CoS' vs. 4ish in the sequel, and I appreciate learning about the world through less characters. Another strength here is music and voice acting. Whomever did the voiceovers for Nuri and Geron both did a fantastic job, and you really feel the sweetness of their relationship blossom. I love how trusting Nuri is, to her detriment and strength, while Geron has been beat down by life and offers a more realistic view of things, but desperate needs/appreciates her positivity. The game ends on a sort of bittersweet cliffhanger (even if you get the 'good' ending, not everything is put right just yet), and you can resolve Geron and Nuri's story in game 2, Memoria. But there's so much to do here, and the story has some mysterious realms to visit and simple magic to learn. Some cons that I don't personally mind: there were a few puzzles that were hard to solve. Even after having played them before, I couldn't remember certain solutions and I think at least one answer wasn't entirely intuitive, so a walkthrough guide was consulted. However, as a lover of point-and-clicks from the 90's, I'm used to occasional maddening moon logic and kind of consider at last one or two clue lookups to be a staple of the genre. So long as it's not every other puzzle, I'm willing to forgive a small sin. Also compared to other epic fantasy games (say anything by Larian), some might find this style of game a bit simplistic in comparison. And don't get me wrong, I love Larian and modern fantasy games, but there's something about these painterly 2D stories that feel like you're stepping into an illustrated classic, combined w/ classic 90's point and click puzzles. They also have some darkness to them, like old Germanic fairytales, which makes sense since they're part of a larger 'Dark Eye' gaming/story universe, which (I believe) originated in Germany. ANYWAY! I've played both games multiple times, I love them, and strongly recommend them.
First playthrough review time. This game is a traditional adventure where you move through different screens to progress. The art is very detailed and makes every area look unique, which helps the world come across as a real place. Most of the tasks are based on logic, but some solutions are so strange that they do not seem practical even after you finish them. The gameplay includes a few special scenes where the clicking actions are tied directly to the story events. There are also two different difficulty levels to choose from when you start. If you want to see every possible outcome or earn every special mark, you will have to play through the entire story at least twice. While the main characters have personalities that work together, some of their decisions and behaviors can be difficult to believe during certain chapters. In conclusion, the title offers a consistent experience through a wide variety of environments. It succeeds in creating a sense of a long journey because of the detailed visual style and the deep history of the world. Although a few of the puzzles are confusing and some character interactions are weak, the overall design remains solid. It is a functional example of this genre that stays focused on exploration from start to finish.
I used to say I'd never play point and click adventures, but then my mom played this game and changed my mind. I watched her play, and I got so hooked that I just had to buy and play it myself. It's a fun mix of figuring out what to do next and an addictive story. I'm also a big fan of the humour that doesn’t take itself too seriously. This game is really special to me because it made me discover my love for point and click adventures! :)
Beautiful old school adventure game by Daedalic, originally released in 2012, it's been patched and runs perfectly under win 11 and 3840x2160 screen res The story is engaging, especially if you like fantasy, imagine a taste of Lord of the Rings with a sprinkle of Game of Thrones brutality well designed characters and the hand-drawn scenes make this great entertainment
