What players think
The recurring themes across 157 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Instead of focusing on competitive multiplayer encounters, the game presents a collection of narrative campaigns that allow players to experience pivotal moments in the world's history through a series of structured quests and challenges.
Lastly, even with only five hours into Talisman Origins, mathematics tells me that the game is virtually infinite in replayability.
Compared to the multiplayer version which is bugged to the heavens and crashes a lot its a miracle.
- rudimentary menu icons and interface - the ability to hide descriptions is too easy to select, and yet the ability to skip animations is sorely missing
- combat involves stacking up either Craft or Strength, with followers, items and spells providing possible modifiers.
Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
No themes split opinion in this sample.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. 3 more themes were each raised by fewer than 4 sampled reviews and are not shown.
