Margrave 3: The Curse of the Severed Heart

Margrave: The Curse of the Severed Heart

Operating System: PC/Mac
Website: Official Website
Rating: 2/5
Comments: Well it started with a personalised soundtrack, which was new, but the first scene was a little dubious. It was real people sketched in… not liking that. One of the male voice actors sounded like the guy from The Lost Crown which kinda made me worry. I don’t think the voice acting was bad, I’ve heard a lot worse. The NPCs got worse. They were real people, reminiscent of Ravenheart 13th Skull. In fact, it was like watching a B-Grade movie in still frames!

The sketching was new and exciting. I liked that a lot. Plus the keepsakes were adorably cute. There were two different inventory screens. There was the usual cursor change, this one was quite large and noticeable. I liked that, sometimes with the smaller ones I can miss things.

The puzzles were ok. Not too hard at the beginning. I got bored of the plot, wasn’t really paying attention. I was more focussed on getting through the game then what was happening. Also, surprise surprise! The monster was some mythological Celtic beast. The best game was the naming one where you had to put together the names of the spirits... most of them were really bad though... like "Boneheart" and "Blackwhite"... yeah, they didn't try too hard with those
