[indiegala] Ghost of a Tale -90% historical low

Didn't remember this! Thank you! :D

I played the game to completion, and I have to personally say there wasn't really any bugs in my experience, if at best a couple here and there, nothing memorable. Certainly not enough to jot down in my review. So they must be reviews from a time ago, because the game has received many patches since its release.

There's definitely no satisfying conclusion to the story, it's either going to be a part 2'er or the dev.... really just gave up at the end. The game is honestly very good until two things happen. 1. You get the guards armor. The game just completely is no longer a stealth game, but a fetch-quest game. And 2 being once you get to the beach. The game from there-on is just incredibly weak, bland, and loses all intrigue and momentum. The game is becomes needle-in-a-haystack the game, and the games denizens become soulless virtual constructs you quickly work through because of the games numerous quests and your desire to quickly just get through them all over time that you start 'speedrunning' everything and gaming everything. It's hard to explain. The game is deeply immersive for awhile, but once the veil is lifted, everyone is just computer code and text boxes you can tell the developer wrote. You'll know it when it happens as the game reaches is last leg. This doesn't happen until the last third of the game, but it definitely is bad enough to leave the game with a bad taste in my mouth. It's like someone put the most shoddy toppings and mixture on top of an otherwise excellent dish.

I like the game enough to be interested in the sequel, but it's definitely not a game i'd just openly recommend. I always tell people when a person who's deeply into walking simulators, complains about the back and forth, item finding, travelling, or exploration. That means the issue is pretty damn bad and should be taken seriously if you're thinking of getting the game.
