Well so far the official word on this game and I can just confirm that on paper, it all looks like they deliver, but in all honesty, this is a lackluster game that only excels in the graphics department, and it’s very light nature. Add in tons of dialogue, boring as hell dialogue, and you got yourself a game. I just want to say once again, that this is a lengthy game where the majority of the action is handled by near-static screens in a gorgeous setting but that can not save the game from being boring.
Sure, the fighting is done in a way that it kind of entertains, but if we are being blunt, it does not do much more than keep you entertained for a few minutes at a time. This is really a shame, the fighting is snappy and really performs well, but taking in the lengths it often takes in between fights, that is a no for me.
And why not just skip? Well, skipping the conversations is possible to an extent, but also the fast forward function is reset a few times in every other conversation. I can understand the decision to a certain extent, but I just wanted to fully skip parts of the game and enjoy the action, but it just kept pushing me away.
In conclusion, Maglam Lord looks the part, but does not play it. Aside from the graphics, this is merely a boring dime-a-dozen game.
