Drakensang: The Dark Eye Review

The slow trickle of Drakensang reviews continues with a new critique from Game Revolution, where they’ve give the game a “B”.

Where Drakensang really shines is the variety of options it provides for problem solving. The boys at Radon Labs clearly learned the right lessons from playing through other classic PC RPGs, as they generally offer several solutions to every problem and give you plenty of freedom to experiment. As a result, there’s lots of replayability and plenty of interesting choices to make as you work through the huge amount of content.

It’s worth mentioning that Drakensang is an incredibly sturdy game. I didn’t experience a single crash, never lost a save, or ran into any notable graphical or gameplay glitches, which is surprising for a title that doesn’t seem to be a high-profile title. There probably are some, somewhere, ‘˜cause the game’s huge – but after two weeks of play, I didn’t find any. Way to write software, boys!
