Dustborn Reviews

Dustborn is a narrative adventure that starts very slowly but eventually captivates you with an intriguing plot and characters that you will grow increasingly attached to. Despite some slower parts, it keeps itself fresh and interesting by mixing different types of gameplay and a wide variety of settings. Even if it doesn't have what it takes to sit next to the top titles in the genre, if you love this kind of adventure it will keep you entertained for many hours.

Every praise is followed by a small "but". This is also the reason why I can get a lot out of Dustborn as a whole, but not as much as I would wish for myself. Because the game creates an interesting world with multi-faceted characters. I like how much I can immerse myself in the world of thought and listen to the well-written dialog. The fundamentally different mechanics and game elements are also entertaining. What bothers me most, however, is the pace of the narrative, which can be slow at times, and the unused potential of the combat system. Although this gives me some exciting options, it is somewhat clunky to play and the enemies are moderately challenging. However, as I like versatile characters, the charming look and the wealth of ideas, Dustborn is a successful story game for me.
