Cheapest price this game has been. Not the highest rated although many people have praised the combat system as something quite comprehensive and fun. However some feel the rest of the game falls quite flat in terms of a story, open world and missions.

Mysteriously transported from New York City, Frey Holland finds herself trapped in the breathtaking land of Athia. A magical, sentient bracelet is inexplicably wrapped around her arm, and Frey discovers the ability to cast powerful spells and use magic to traverse the sprawling landscapes of Athia. Frey nicknames her new golden companion “Cuff” and sets off to find a way home. Frey soon learns this beautiful land once flourished under the reign of benevolent matriarchs, called Tantas, until a devastating blight relentlessly corrupted everything it touched. The Break transformed animals into beasts, men into monsters, and rich landscapes into four dangerous realms. At the center of their shattered domains, the Tantas now rule as maddened and evil sorceresses. Unaffected by the Break and desperate for answers, Frey reluctantly agrees to help the last remaining citizens of Athia who see her as their only hope. Frey’s journey through this strange and treacherous land will take her deep into the heart of corruption where she must battle monstrous creatures, confront the powerful Tantas, and uncover secrets that awaken something much more from within.

      I've learnt my lesson from the last 2 Black Friday sales. Plenty of quality games picked up for $19/$29 by holding off. I'll wait before adding this to my backlog/pile of shame.

      The game sucks and it's a joke they're still trying to flog it off for more than $15 bucks. Give it another 3-6 months and in the meantime go and play a masterpiece like Elden Ring or get hype for Diablo 4 coming out next week.

      • I do have Elden Ring sitting in my backlog…

          As someone who previously wasn't into these super punishing 'souls-like' games, Elden Ring has absolutely captured my heart. It definitely is challenging and there isn't much handholding in the way of showing you what to do next, but they drop you into the world and give you all the tools to make the game as hard or as easy as you want, and dying now isn't so painful because the runbacks are much shorter or even non-existent. If you find yourself hardstuck, you can just go do some exploring and come back later. The world is huge, there are so many little adventures hiding around every corner, and you get rewarded for taking the time to explore and experiment.

          The story is very light on direct exposition, but the environmental storytelling aspects gives you the choice to lean in and pay as much or as little attention as you want. With such a beautiful, intriguing and immersive world they've built, I don't see why you wouldn't want to.

          Also just the empowering feeling of overcoming a tough trial you've faced, in a world that does it's best to kill you at every turn. It's magical and like nothing else.

          Would recommend any day of the week. Good luck Tarnished!

  • Is this the one they threw out in the us?

  • It's a decent game at <$10. :)
