I think expectations these days have gotten to the point that people can’t enjoy anything. Everyone is an Ebert, a critic seeking to be lauded by the dissatisfied masses.
This game is excellent. The graphics and connection to the time period. I had to pray the devil away when a black cat crossed my path (made me laugh). The artwork for events you read in scroll format (like in The Legend of Zelda games) is by the great masters like Hobelin.
I admit figuring out how to equip the Menorah or how to give one of characters food or rest isn’t spelled out. You have to experiment and figure it out, which to me is actually charming, like you are really in the 1500s trying to survive.
The gameplay is very fun, and I don’t think we’ll ever see a Luther based game like this in our lifetime, since the 600th Anniversary of the Reformation is almost a century awa, and by then games will likely be VR and hologram rooms.
Pros:
+Engaging gameplay
+World building, a beggar told me “the devil take you!” For not giving him alms. Lol
+Graphics, especially for the style of game, plus famous artwork by the Masters.
+Replay Value, there is stuff to collect, other paths to take, pilgrims and more you can help or not.
+Educational, a great way for young people to learn about Martin Luther, and The Reformation.
Cons:
-Mechanics (Tour-trial), how to equip items, drink water, end fear and etc is not spelled out for you, so you may lose simply because you don’t know what to do.
Note: This developers should make a similar game about Geoffrey Chaucer’s “The Canterbury Tales.” You could have the Knight, The Parson, The Wife of Bath, and etc on the way to the Shrine of Thomas Beckett.
