Review | The Tale of Bistun

Back in June 2021, I came across an intriguing demo during ‘Summer Game Fest’ from Dutch developers Black Cube Games. The demo impressed me a lot and I have been waiting to play and review the full game ever since.
Originally scheduled to be released in the Spring the title was released in July with so little fanfare that I completely missed its arrival on Xbox. My big question is, was it worth the wait? Join me as I try to answer that question in the Xbox Era review of ‘The Tale of Bistun.’

I remember playing the demo of this and liking it. Had it been a GP title I would have been playing it, but with all that GP already offers AND the backlog I'm not spending 15 euros. But it is a nice price, perhaps later.

Downloaded it right now!! Looks likes an amazing indie title. Been playing more and more indie titles vs the bigger developers.

Keep shining a spotlight on smaller games!

We love doing it, unfortunately it can be tough because they tend to do poorly views-wise if we don't get them right at launch. - Jesse
