Shadows: Heretic Kingdoms

What gives the story an edge is its premise: instead of being a hero destined to save the world, you are a demon who manipulates events from behind the scenes.

Gameplay-wise, the game strikes an intriguing balance between experimentation and traditional mechanics.

The UI, the character inventory, the crafting, the voice acting, the graphics, the writing, game performance are all just great.

Sound design also complements the visual storytelling well, with an ambient soundtrack that enhances the game’s sense of mystery and foreboding.

While it removes one of the most unique systems the previous game had (earning skills by using different weapons and armour) which rewarded you for trying different things it has double downed on the action and gives you a wide variety of playable characters which all function and play differently.
