What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
The story and lore and environments in this game are wonderful, the graphics are great and well optimized, this will run on most any computer.
You play the Devourer - a Demon - and one of three main characters with different backstories and quests, so you have to play up to three times to get the full experience; that said, the replayability with the characters - puppets - provides loads of options.
Instead, you get largely the opposite; the game is quite beautiful and detailed with a ton of quality voice acting (including The Doctor himself, Tom-freaking-Baker).
The visuals look really good too and the optimization for this game is fantastic.
World and character design is superb, a lot of time clearly went into them
Shadows: Awakening is a game that's going to be compared with a lot of other ARPGs in its field, but it sets itself aside through it's pseudo-party based combat, puzzle scenarios, and a "less-loot" focus that aids with controller play.
