I think that The Cursed Crusade will receive similarly mixed reviews.

The developer, Kylotonn Games, doesn't exactly have the best track record, so I won't hype it up as better than either Hunted: The Demon's Forge or The First Templar, as both are very enjoyable games, which is what I expect out of a game. However, I do expect to enjoy The Cursed Crusade. I like that the combat looks more weighty.

My Favorite RPGs: Divinity franchise, Gothic franchise (including Arcania, so I think I'm alone...), Venetica, Risen, Two Worlds II, The Witcher, Sacred franchise, Fallout franchise, Mass Effect 1, Alpha Protocol, Planescape: Torment, Drakensang, KOTOR 1 & 2, etc.
