(mini-review).

I keep coming back to Spyder hoping for the day when the team matures into the sophisticated, AAA studio I hope it can be. This game is not that step however. The title has good graphics, although facial animations and mo-cap are amateurish. The game performs reasonably well, with good optimization. Game play is similar to Assassins Creed, but without the much needed verticality. However, where the game fails spectacularly is the story. The story is basically a fantasy take on Avatar, with plenty of European hate and native love. You could predict the story's outcome without playing a full minute. If the game play and presentation are above average but the story is wholly unsatisfying - what's the point?

RPG filler if on discount, but not really worth spending much time on, considering the wealth of better titles. That part where you riff on European architecture, armor, weaponry and atmosphere just to rain on about how the culture is evil and damned. Hilarious.

Skip - Decent if you're desperate for an open world RPG and you grab it on sale.

Not worth the time. You'll find better games elsewhere.

5.5/10.
