User Rating: 9.5 | Drakensang: The Dark Eye PC
By Elikal | Review Date:
I played the German Version of Drakensang now for about 10 hours, and I love it. It really matches up to any given RPG of a similar genre, and does not have to hide behind games like NWN2 or the like.

The game has stunning landscapes and cities and catches by the great atmosphere, storytelling and detail richness. What you don't have to expect is some fast rush-through game like Diablo or something packed with tons of uber loot like WOW. Drakensang's "The Dark Eye" world is most similar to Faerhun from D&D, a classic fantasy world, where you take your time with the world, the story and where you are not buried in tons of flaming swords, uber shoulder pieces and such hilarious stuff in every second drop. It has all the classic RPG virtues with great characters and detailled character development, story richness and a world worth to get familiar with.

I can only fully recommend it to anyone who loves RPG games and wish you the English version to come soon. ;)
