Nov. 2025

It's best to think of Thaumaturge as primarily a Telltale style narrative game with some rpgs elements rather than a full fledged rpg. The rpgs elements aren't bad but they're pretty basic and if you don't enjoy conversations, reading and following clues you'll struggle to enjoy the game. It's very much a moody, grimey, Slavic detective noir type of story which I personally find very enjoyable. Even the lower budget and somewhat stiff, graphics and animations enhance the experience and come off as charming and atmospheric because of how visually rich and detailed the game is. Thaumaturge also acts as a bit of a cultural tour of a bygone Poland and especially Warsaw and is full of little moments the purpose of which is to enhance the "vibes" and while these are probably a bit more basic and filler-y than the devs would've wanted they're still worthwhile if you appreciate history and old timey, chic aesthetics. Despite its dark nature and goings on Thaumaturge feels pretty relaxing to play and there's a decent amount of different outcomes to indivdual events/quests depending how thorough you are with your investigation, skill point distribution and the way you speak to people. Just understand what you're buying and don't be surprised by the amount of walking and talking.

This game is SO. INTERESTING The story begins in a small rural village in Poland where your main character is investigating the presence of a spirit that has latched onto a villager and is sowing some chaos. Visually, tonally, musically, it's super reminiscent of Witcher 3, in the best way. After you solve this little case, you scoot over to Warsaw, which in 1905 is of course developed and modern, and under Russian influence. There's a shift to a modern political tone which I care for less, only because I prefer a less urban space, although the city is beautiful and the art is easy to appreciate. I do, however, love any kind of historical fiction if you inject supernatural elements into it. Did anyone play that PS2 JRPG series called Shadow Hearts? The Thaumaturge VERY much reminded me of those games; the turn-of-the-century settings, making pacts with demons, a kind of gothic vibe, light turn-based combat, a certain historical scoundrel bein super sussy, all good things. Quite a bit like Disco Elysium, as well, in spending most of your time running around talking to folks, looking for clues, interrogating weird little freaks, making morally ambiguous decisions (if you please), etc. Only complaint is there's too much combat. It's a new and interesting system, but it gets old fast. You are frequently accosted by guys who wanna kick your ass for one reason or another (mostly folks just hate thaumaturges) and you typically have the choice of fighting or talking them down. Talking them down requires either the discovery of clues/information, or using upgraded skills to manipulate them into complacency. For some reason, only fighting grants EXP and thus, fighting is the choice you will make every time. Why? Stupid. Otherwise, love. Special shoutout to the sound design for the salutors. Mwah

Seriously. IDK how this is not turning a profit yet. But this is BY FAR one of the best single player games I have played in a while. And by that I mean I played it ALL THE WAY THROUGH even though I have the attentionspan of a fortnight-player after 25 cans of monster at 4 a.m. Investigation is good but no moon-logic. Fights are very much old PS1 era style in type. And the sense of humour is just this wonderful dark kind of humour that can only be pulled off in an eastern european setting. I am german. I love complaining. I find nothing to complain about with this game. I recommend you buy three.

April 2025

I LOVED this game. The design, the nod to larger RPG elements and character creation, the Pride and Flaw system. It's a slow moving, highly descriptive adventure that offers a very lightweight combat experience and leans heavily on historical fiction immersion. It does this EXTREMELY well. The characters are well acted, voiced, and believable. The intersection of occult groups in the late 19th century with Kabbalah and the exploration of Rasputin as a cult leader is so well done that I hesitate to even write this sentence: if you play the game, you will walk away believing in more possibilities than you did before. I'm very impressed, and I will play it again in a year or so, perhaps going for a more Prideful, narcissistic character. If you have a few weeks and love history, religion, and immersion in a narrative, this game is for you.

April 2025

Only for people who don't need action, but want to make important decisions in stories. It reminds me of point-and-click adventures with a very sophisticated story. Loved it!
