I don't know how anyone can play this game. The frame rate is terrible. I couldn't even complete the first task higher than 1 FPS with everything set to the lowest setting. I don't know how they could even release this game in this state. I wanted it to be good. I tried multiple setting differences but nothing helped with this game. It plays like an alpha demo. I'm sorry but I can not recommend this game.

Can’t even get past the tutorial. Can barely move. Adjusted settings to lowest possible, and the game is still lagging. Requested refund

I've really enjoyed my time with this game. The open-world desert environment is absolutely stunning and atmospheric – from endless dunes to ancient ruins, it really pulls you in. Exploring hidden dungeons scattered across the sands is both challenging and rewarding, with plenty of secrets to discover. Riding camels across the landscape is a fantastic feature that adds to the immersion and authenticity. The game gives you the freedom to explore at your own pace, and there's always something new to stumble upon. Honestly, I don’t get the hate in some of the other reviews – most of it is just nonsense. The developers did a fantastic job here and truly brought this world to life. Highly recommended!

User interface is so horrifyingly bad, that I just can't believe it. 20 EUR for this about 40 EUR too much. I would highly advise you to steer clear of this scam, because someone made this game with zero regard for anything close to even consider a modern gaming experience. This is the first game I'm requesting a refund in my life. I actually feel cheated.
