Joe Dever's Lone Wolf HD Remastered

I have to put a thubs down not because its a bad game in itself, but because its too far from lone wolf itself. The combat part is completely outside the realm of lone wolf, he is a sort of a ranger/psiker not a fighter and doesent rush in battles. Also there are too many fights just to make the player feel he is doing something, wich doesent fit with the setting. The fighting in itself is fancy, but gets boring and tedious quite fast. Its sort of hard, wich is a bonus, but not enough to make it enjoyable in the long run. The mobs are too few and always the same over and over, to the point where you loose the thrill of the encounter or of the big baddie, also the mob design is not good at all, they wanted to make it too fantasy and too flsy for sake of scrrenshots and AD videos, while lone wolf is sort of ghothic/low fantasy. Clearly who designed them never saw a Chalk illustration or didnt pay the due respects, or maybe it was the fault of some nameless director. About the artwork, wich is fundamental, its not bad but way too scarce in full page and repetitive in the mid pages fillers, I was expecting more of it considering the devs have been stingy in proposing 3D enviroments. Speaking of wich: they are not bad, but too few, and as with mobs always the same, considering you have a gazilillion fights with the same mobs in the same places. Same thing for the puzzles. they got the shianti cube and this is it. Nothing else or little else if we want to be liberal with the term puzzle. The shianti cube is a nice riddle per se, but at the 4th time you have to use it it gets real boring real fast, also this cube is incredibly frustrating (and it appears that the solution for my riddle is nowhere to be found in any capacity on the internet, and the letsplay guys had a completley diffrent puzzle than what I got in the same area) wich leads me again "in more of the same". The lone wolf character is awful. Its completely diffrent from the descriptions, his animations are from some kind of lame anime, the sommerswerd is on the back and is not used as weapon but as an ability wand, wich is a very bad implementation, and you have to fight with other weapons wich doesent make sense. His equipment is dumb and straight out of some weeb videogame. And for the equipment too more of the same over and over. Talking about equipment there are some good ideas, when they kept things in canon. There are too many potions, too many foodstuffs (why two types of bread for example) too many upgrade materials all for the sake of cluttering inventory. Most of the time you dont even use them except one or two. Anyway, the upgrade idea is nice but here too, has been done to death: buy stuff, upgrade upgrade upgrade, buy new stuff. Its too much lorewise and gamewise (in the books you were lucky if you found an armor, leather armor and that was it. Or maybe some magic bracers but just one thing after 2/3 books). Also I had never seen a Kai Plate ffs its bs. Now about the story. It doesent fit well, as far as i remember, in the books. Lone wolf was never some baron of someshit he just started to rebuild his temple and did the quests to get the magic stones, like goku. Anyway the grim and gritty of the world is there people die and die gruesome deaths. It is well done. The places to visit make sense... sort of... more or less even if they are a bit too much cobbled toghether for the sake of the story. I hope it wasnt Mr Dever who wrote it. The characters also behave too much for the sake of the story but its ok its not too bad. Anyway, I was really hoping this game would have been something more, but I didnt buy it back then for a reason I didnt trust it. Now for 1.50 euros is okay, maybe it can stay in the 5-9 euros range.
