Całkiem ciekawa i zabawna gra. Szybko zaczyna być nużąca i nudna. Jednakże daje spokojnie z 8-10 h zabawy.

The Thaumaturge is, without a doubt, one of the best games I’ve had the chance to play this year. It masterfully combines a mysterious, well-thought-out, and captivating narrative with meaningful choices and branching paths that keep you engaged throughout.

The character development is both deep and rewarding, offering a unique approach through the concept of Salutors, which adds an intriguing layer to the gameplay. Every decision you make feels impactful, making replayability a highly enjoyable experience.

The voice acting (Polish dubbing as well :)) is another standout feature, delivered at an exceptionally high level, enhancing the overall immersion and emotional connection to the story.

With all my heart I recommend The Thaumaturge to anyone looking for a rich, story-driven experience with compelling mechanics. This game is a true gem that deserves recognition!

Ta gra to jakieś nieporozumienie.
Mogli chociaż dorzucić tutorial.

Mam mieszane odczucia. Miałem nadzieję na fajnego RTSa, ale jakoś tak nie do końca do mnie to przemawia.
Co drugie ładowanie zwiesi grę (często po Alt+Tab z głównego menu).
Jednostki jakieś takie toporne, trochę przekombinowane.
Niektóre głosy jednostek strasznie irytują. (".... po torach" o0)
Nie porywa, ale ogólnie można zagrać, szczególnie, jeśli ustrzeli się grę na promocji.
Ostatecznie łapka w górę na zachętę, bo brakuje obecnie RTSów na rynku.

Great game. But for better understanding you need to finish A Plague Tale: Innocence. Believe me, it's worth it.

First part of game was quite interesting. Crafting, grinding, building your castle and chasing victims. I even managed to get rid of 5 bosses (however that on lv 27 I needed 2nd player to help me with, as you mostly have worse equipement that it's needed for a particular boss).
Second part of game (I'm testing it during free weekend) is about shady screen with flying bat at bottom of the screen, just above the message: Error - connection time exceeded.
Not sure, how late game looks like, because last 20 minutes it's still having issue to connect to server :P

[edit] 2nd day: Still cannot connect. Not looking too good for free week and preparation for it

It's strange; it's different from what everybody is used to in the Civ series. But is it better? Definitely not. The beginning is quite chaotic, and later on, it becomes somewhat boring. In the late game (or halfway through gameplay), it's just a matter of skipping and spamming the 'next turn' button. Also, the irritating narration with some really low-quality humor. Nah, I wouldn't recommend it.

A touching story. Beautiful graphics and music. Sometimes frustrating fights. Quite a short game. Overall, I recommend it.

"Blacktail" is an exceptional game that immerses the player in the fascinating world of Slavic mythology. Playing as Yaga, gamers have the opportunity to explore the mysterious corners of this fantastical realm, intertwined with mystical stories and legends.

One of the most captivating aspects of the game is its engaging storyline. Players take on the role of Yaga, allowing for a deeper experience and connection with the protagonist. The stories from Slavic mythology are a unique element that gives the game its distinct character.

Playing "Blacktail," we not only enjoy a fantastic storyline but also savor the beautiful graphics. The game's creators took great care to craft a visually stunning world, paying attention to detail and atmosphere. Every corner of the "Blacktail" world is meticulously designed, enhancing the immersion in the game.

The sound design also deserves recognition. The soundtrack blends seamlessly with the game's atmosphere, emphasizing emotions and key moments. The ambient sounds and dialogues are carefully chosen, adding depth to the overall experience.

The gameplay in "Blacktail" is highly enjoyable and satisfying. An intuitive interface and smooth mechanics allow players to focus on exploring the world and deriving joy from the gameplay. Also it's worth to mention, that there is a great amount of humour (dialogs with stones :D, cat and The Voice ;)).

In summary, "Blacktail" is an incredibly successful game that skillfully combines elements of Slavic mythology, beautiful graphics, a captivating storyline, and excellent sound design. For enthusiasts of adventure games with elements of Slavic culture, this production is a true gem that is sure to be well-received.
