Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew

Recommended because it's a mimimi game, and they are always fabulous, assuming you like tactical stealth games and controlling several characters. Having said that; it's actually my least favourite one. I bought it on pre-order but only got around to playing it now because the theme didn't particularly interest me. I loved the historical settings of of shadow tactics and Desperados 3 - undead pirates not so much lol. The story and narrative didn't draw me in either and I found myself rather bored, especially with all the bits involving walking around the ship and clicking stuff (Crew Tales eg). I also didn't particularly like going back to the same places over and over rather than completing entire maps, nor the system of choosing who to unlock as opposed to them appearing during the story. I followed a guide and unlocked Toya and Pinkus last. I basically never used Pinkus and ended up soloing most things with Toya, once I had them ... Another thing I really wasn't keen on was killing the same boss over and over, and her being able to reload old saves so you have to repeat the same stuff. Unlike the other games that I played a lot, including the DLC, I'm probably going to call it a day on this one after finishing the main story once. Anyway, long story short, if you like mimimi games and/ or tactical, isometric stealth games, I'm sure you will enjoy this, even more so if you are into undead pirates, time loops and, erm, anecdotes, lol.

Incredible design and superb execution. The main complaints I have is that sometimes missions felt Long but that can be a mix of skill issue and stubbornness. The gameplay is tight, characters are interesting and the world is cool as hell. While I haven't done any of the extra challenges post main story, it's great that they are there! Maybe I'll return, but for now, I am very satisfied with what this game gave.
