A mere 6/10 is the result of the Armchair Empire's 'The I of the Dragon' review.
When I first received I of the Dragon, I was really ready to delve into a game that I had heard little about, but that looked very interesting and had loads of fun painted all over it. Unfortunately, games don't often turn out to be what you want them to be. Great games will challenge you with the unexpected and make you feel rewarded for having given them your time. On the other hand mediocrity will leave you wanting to smash your mouse into your brain to find out if you'll be able to control the game by thought alone. Among other inane thoughts you will be left with, a mediocre game does more to challenge your patience than to challenge established ideals of what a great game is. A good game will follow the trends and do so very well rather than presenting challenging new material that works. I of the Dragon was likely trying to be a great game and for a few changes it could have been a good game, but not a great one. However, in the process of development something was missed and the game ends up being fun at first but leaves you wanting more of what could have been rather than what is.
