[i]The Dark Eye: Chains of Satinav[/i] is a bittersweet video game in more than just its ending. It does some things decently well and other less so, chief among the latter being its voice acting. I imagine this was not a title that was granted an exorbitant budget and so they did what they could with its smaller team, especially those that voice acted the characters. It is perhaps the weakest part of the game, where every voice actor lands between dull in tone or coming across as though they are just trying too hard, with delivery either unevenly delivered or overly dramatic, especially during any laughing lines. But I'll still take the imperfect voice acting regardless over having to read every line of dialogue and trying to voice the characters myself. I much prefer to have a voice assigned to the characters even if they weren't the greatest at conveying emotional depth. I think the game also does well enough to show some realistic progression within its two main characters. This is a narrative point-and-click adventure puzzle game and so there's going to be a heavy focus on story and the characters as you just point and click on everything to brute-force your way forward.

I was very close to not playing this game, because the first hour or so of the game felt a tad bit boring, but then it started gathering the momentum, and after 14 hours I completed the game. Despite the concerning start, the game itself was pretty decent. I liked the way the game looked, the plot was interesting, the voice acting was done rather well. I like to see the opportunity of different choices you can make during dialogues. The puzzles were overall pretty challenging at some points, and I am ashamed to admit I had to use hints sometimes, because something didn't make much sense. Still, I was able to get most of them without additional help. Worth a try, though I wouldn't recommend expecting an amazing experience. It is good enough for a point and click adventure.

yo so you gotta check out this game. the kingdom of undergast is kinda a weird place, everyone's super superstitious. but king efferdan is getting ready for a big visit from some important folks. get this, undergast and nostria have been beefing for ages, like centuries of hating each other. but now, for the first time ever, they're actually trying to make peace. it's pretty wild.
so, face your destiny! this game drops you in undergast, a kingdom full of super superstitious folks. king efferdan's getting ready for some big shot officials to visit. for ages, undergast and nostria, the neighboring kingdom, have been duking it out. but now? they're actually trying to make peace, kinda wild, right? first steps towards a lasting peace, apparently. let's see how that goes.
There were times when I couldn't progress until I tried everything I had already tried before. It was mostly related to dialogue options, there seem to be very specific requirements for unlocking them, even if you've already figured out the puzzle. Other than that, I had no issue playing blind on hard mode (in case you dislike features like item highlight/hints/etc).
