With button mapping that makes little to no sense, One question why is there no unwritten rule on what buttons do what in games?Įverything felt clunky and the amount of slowdown, bugs and issues with the game made what could have been a fairly decent budget title into something that is more trouble than it’s worth. Not to mention animations are poor mix in rendering issues its hard to even find a positive about the games optimization. The world and the visuals all looked dated and the textures are fairly bland and flat, again lending to the mobile side of the game. However, it is not enjoyable as it sounded. On paper this had me clad in my elvish armor brandishing my elvish swords Isilmë-Rista with excitement. With a wide variety of enemies all in a fair sized open world. Gameplay as a whole is fairly simple with different fighting styles, melee, distance, sneak and magic. It also shows the mobile roots, with Ravensword: Shadowlands not being optimized for console. We can play Ravensword: Shadowlands both first and third person, none of which are at all enjoyable, as they should be. However, as an overall story it is bland and has been told so many times it is now just boring, with no surprises.įirst it feels like somewhere between Morrowind and Oblivion clone. The intro is pretty cool to be fair given as a narrative like you would have seen in the Lord of the Ring film’s. The story is as old as fantasy RPGs themselves, Good vs Evil and it is up to you to stop the latter.
