It's third person mostly. When you use some of the gadgets it moves to 1st person view sort of. It's 95% 3rd person though.

Tham, I don't disagree with you; I'm just saying that it's tricky.

 Here's the problem:  Adventure games have become such a niche genre, and so many of them are created in languages other than English and then HORRIBLY "localized," that as a reviewer if you're not careful you find yourself giving D grades to everything.

Um, this might not have anything to do with a certain Lux-Pain, might it, Ray?   Roll Eyes    Just curious...   Wink   Kiss

Prelude - Tristan And Isolde
Fate, out of the deep sea's gloom, When a man's heart's pride grows great, And nought seems now to foredoom Fate,
Fate, laden with fears in wait, Draws close through the clouds that loom, Till the soul see, all too late,
More dark than a dead world's tomb, More high than the sheer dawn's gate, More deep than the wide sea's womb,
Fate.

I honestly can't remember whether it is totally 3rd person or if you have a choice.  

I very much liked this game, but it has flaws (character movement, being one).  IMO, if this game is in the upper tier of games, it is near the bottom of that list.  B+ maybe.

On the other hand, a game like Culpa Innata's review on this site is just ridiculous to me. Then again--different strokes for different folks.  Also, no game is perfect, so it's a matter of how much those imperfections spoil a game for you.

Making a review gentle (in other words:  lying by withholding the truth) is counterproductive in the long run, because a mislead or cheated customer will never come back.  Balanced, kind criticism is what's necessary -- not biased journalism.
