  • Action
  • Dark fantasy
  • Melee combat

First-person action with sword, bow and magic in a dark fantasy world. The kick is what everyone remembers: you boot enemies onto spikes, into fires or off ledges, and you can cut ropes to crush them with whatever hangs above.

Why play it now

When you fancy a linear campaign with a proper ending: reviews put it at somewhere between 10 and 15 hours in total.

Who it's for

For anyone who loves physics-driven melee combat and turning the surroundings into a weapon.

When not to pick it

If you want a good story: reviews find it weak and point to technical problems.
