An old school point and click, nothing more, nothing less
The PS4 and Xbox One versions of Chains of Satinav that were recently released are based on a game that is almost 8 years old. Unlike with a good wine, the passing of time did not favor this point and click adventure game, the original issues still being present. Moreover, the graphics feel dusty and outdated, despite the unique visual style that ranges from the detailed background and immersive scenes to characters that feel as lifelike as a dead fish. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves with a verdict and let’s see what you can expect if you are a fan of point and click games. The hero of the game is a young bird-catcher, who lives the not quite pleasant life of a commoner in the magical land of Andergast. His misery is amplified by an omen that befell him in his childhood: a powerful mage, while being burnt at stake, predicted that the young kid will bring doom to the entire kingdom. Now the prophecy seems to be on its way to become reality since the dark signs multiply along with murders of crows that invade and torture the city. To stop the mystical and evil Seer, young Geron gets involved with the dark past of his master and embarks on a mission to capture a fairy, that turns into an odyssey that takes our hero beyond the veil of the human realm.
