7.2/10 is the score for inXile's Bard's Tale action re-envisioning at GameBanshee, although the text of the review probably reads a little harsher:Upgrading your character is no more interesting. All you get to do is add points to attributes and choose new skills. That probably doesn’t sound so bad, but the game allows you to max out most of the six attributes and choose way more skills than you could possibly use. Really, after making a decision early in the game about whether you’d rather dual wield weapons, use a two-handed weapon, or use a weapon and a shield, you don’t have to make another decision for the rest of the game, and that’s just bizarrely boring. |
