So although I didn’t know anything about this game prior to its release, I’ve cleaned up 1000 gamer score and still don’t know very much about the game either, I honestly can’t really recommend this to anyone other than the most hardcore of Gamer Score hunters who want to mop up the points.
I have to say that I really didn’t enjoy any of my time with Crimson Keep, all I got from it was Crimson Mist as it just made me mad with frustration, I really can’t bring myself to recommend the game in any way.
Even at the pretty low price of £4.99 I wouldn’t overly recommend this other than to hardcore achievement hunters as I can’t really see one specific audience wanting to jump on board this
Despite the fairly cheap price and the fact that I did actually enjoy playing the game for the short time it took me to play the lot I cant really recommend it strongly to anyone other than the real achievement hunters out there, especially when you will likely see it reduced even further within a short time.
Overall I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone other than the most die hard RPG fans, there are some decent flashes of ideas in there such as the magic but everything and I mean everything in the game is a grind and lacked enjoyment for me.
Some of the tongue in cheek videogame gags are fun and brighten the darker parts of the game, there is fun to be had here but there are just much better options out there to spend your time on.
Overall there is not really a lot here that I can recommend, especially with the price point there is just not much enjoyment or longevity to be had here for £25.
If you like puzzle games this could be kind of up your street but ultimately it feels like it doesn’t quite know who it’s target audience is.
I couldn’t recommend this to anyone but the most hardcore of Nickelodeon fans and if your child asks you for it really consider it before you part with your money.
For the price I dont really feel that I would find it the greatest value for money but if you spot this on sale then it could be a bargain for any point and click aficionados out there.
Overall given this has a fairly hefty price tag albeit not top end at £35 this is not what you would expect to get for your money, the frustrating element of all the issues means that its hard to really get a lot from this game and it just isn’t good value for money.
Overall the mini-games are not bad, they just don’t add up to much in the grand scheme of things and there just isn’t a lot of longevity here, unless you are a huge bull riding fan I just couldn’t recommend the game with the lack of content and dated presentation.
If you really like puzzlers then it will have something for you but be prepared for the odd frustration. And also bear in mind whether you will be playing this solo or linked up with a friend, the latter will probably keep your blood pressure down a touch.
Overall the game is fun to play and entertaining but I don’t see there being a huge amount of longevity in it, some of the achievements are set up to entice you to play for longer and attempt more challenges at getting through the game but its just not quite enough to encourage me to stay long term.
Overall I’d recommend this if you enjoy platform puzzle games and just want something to pick up and put down when you feel like it, it wont take up too much of your time but also won’t keep you coming back for a long time either.
Overall if you like retro platform puzzlers then you can’t really go too wrong at £4.99 for this especially if you are looking to boost your Gamerscore.
Overall this is a fairly simple game which will challenge and is fairly enjoyable for the price, definitely one for anyone who likes a puzzle.
The game is fun to pick up and play for a while however the lack of insight into what you are doing at the beginning can put people off and make you feel a little lost.
Overall the game is pretty enjoyable puzzle game and should last most people about 6-7 hours to get through the storyline and its different puzzles, you just need to be able to see past the frustrating elements to get the best out of the game.
The difficulty can put a lot of people of but it can also attract people who really want to be challenged and although this might not be as difficult as the original souls games it is certainly up there.
