The Real Review

This narrative RPG about a crown prince is getting a mixed, but mostly positive, reception for its story and tough choices, though it clearly isn't for everyone. The core story and characters like Sir Brante are what people connect with, but the gameplay feels thin to some, and the steep difficulty is a major turnoff for many. The most consistent complaint is technical, with performance issues, crashes, and poor PC optimization being a real problem. It's a game about a heavy burden, and for some players, dealing with the bugs and punishing systems just isn't worth the price of admission.
