It’s a pity that everyone mainly writes negative reviews, without even trying to find something positive. There is a “standard” that the author of the post is used to, usually it’s the 3rd or 5th game, and everything else is garbage by definition. Well, in general, this is understandable: this forum is mainly populated by people who like trash and the 5th game.
Look at Arandor’s review, he immediately writes that he likes the classes like in the 4th game, he likes everything, there is no “duckling syndrome” here. Well, okay, except for such a question as hexes, but still, there is no mindless hate.
As a fan of the 5th game, I’ll say this. After playing Ashan three times, which, despite my love for the 5th game, is objectively boring, standard, and fantasy, people were just waiting for a return to the roots, a real nostalgia for Enroth, bold experiments, and all that. The setting and time period of Anfrozen were chosen perfectly to appeal to both old and new players. The fact that negativity prevails now only means that after all the hopes, the potential was wasted... Because people have something to compare it to. Not just with other games, but with good games in general, and strategy games in particular.
We’ve been playing games since the early 2000s, and some since the 90s. We’ve seen everything. All sorts of lags, all sorts of glitches, unclear descriptions with no instructions, pixel hunting in quests, extremely tedious Paradox Interactive strategies. If we say that the visuals and interface are terrible, and you can’t figure them out without a bottle of vodka, and that some basic things are missing, then that’s exactly what it is
