I really enjoy the fun-factor part of the reviews because games should be all about fun and engagement. If a mage has frustrating controls schemes or disjointed game mechanics I want to hear about it in a review. So thanks again for the great work!

    Had my eye on it a little since it piqued my curiosity, shame it doesn't quite hit the mark. Took a while to remember the name but it kind of reminds of of Seven, but this focuses a lot more on Thief style stealth it seems. Definitely going to install Seven again, see what the Enhanced Edition adds to the mix.

    That menu is straight up Dishonored. I actually had to check if it was the same devs. Still, I like the look. Sounds like a wait to see what the devs do type of game. I love my sound effects which can make or break a game for me. Also, animations. If they look funny, it is funny. If the game isn't in the vain of funny, somethings off. So I hope patches are possible. Great review boss!

    Another huge issue is continuity with game world design. In the anime intro there is a gun used and the characters are all looking like they're in a modern era. Then the game itself has Victorian/pseudo medieval architecture to the buildings and the technology. The enemies use swords, etc. It's just really not fluid with continuity with the game worlds design and the time era. Some areas in the game look like a modern city. It's just all random. Like they didn't really think about the detail in this way.

    Just finished the game on Normal a few hours ago and started a new playthrough on Hard. I really enjoyed myself, but I'm starting to really notice the cracks -- and they were already noticeable on Normal. I suspected this would happen, but the higher you push the difficulty the more irritating all the bits of jank and lack of polish start to feel. Makes sense, you want the game to be as reliable as possible if you're going to be pushing yourself to the max. I think that this _is_ a good game, not great, but _good,_ and it could be a lot better if the dev team polished up the player's basic mechanics, the stuff we use hundreds of times, to be a little smoother and more 'generous.'

    It's a shame that Winter Ember misses the mark in so many areas. As a huge fan of stealth games, I had high hopes for this one. Unfortunately, it falls short overall. However, I will eventually pick it up for a few reasons. It reminds a little bit of Thief and because stealth games are few and far between. I like the atmosphere and setting as well. Winter Ember would've completely slipped underneath the radar if you didn't cover it. Thanks once again Karak for another great review!
