Nightingale had a rough start with bulky gameplay and a slower beginning for new players to tap into the realm walker experience. Honestly I played for about 2 months when it first came out as Beta release (Literally day 1) but shelved it for about a year after that. I have recently revisited this beautiful game and have thoroughly enjoyed the updates and optimization the company has made to this game. What once was a bulky and slow start has turned into a beautiful seamless and fun beginning for players. The game itself runs great, the graphics are some of the most beautiful I have seen and the lore and story are just enough to keep you wanting more. With the recent work done by the programmers I can now highly suggest this game to new players. It has one would want with any survival game, but adds a touch of magic and lore to create something new. I used to play Ark Survival until I realized the trap of never being able to have a life apart from the game because if you leave too long your dino's die. Nightingale takes those elements I fell in love with in Ark without the negatives (minus taming and riding dino's of course). This game will take you into realm after realm of pure adventure and exploration while at the same time you are diving into a new world of magic and lore. If Ark and Elder Scrolls had a baby, this is it. I give this game a solid 9/10 and I hope the developers will continue to build upon what they have already created.

Just finished the game. It has so much potential but they ruined it when they sold the project.

The story its good and has a lot of unique mechanics and stuff. Its so sad that companies to this and ruins something good.

Especially when they don't fix stupid stuff like not being able to travel separately in co op, the climbing picks issues and a lot if stuff.

I'm sad that I like the game but I have to give it a negative review.

Aunque el juego es bonito, se disfruta....

Las misiones es lo que peor tiene. Son escasas, los NPC contados con los dedos de una mano amputada. Cuando avanzamos ya ni se molestan en explicar nada de la misión, solo vagamente... Necesito pimpam y tal cual .... lo de buscar ya es cosa del jugador, que se dedique a explorar cada pixel de todos los mapas en busca de lo que le han pedido o en busca de otro NPC que ni idea de quien es, ni como se llama, ni donde se le puede encontrar. Ya que las traducciones google no son muy allá. Y eso lo vemos cuando estamos construyendo la casa o lo que sea, una construcción pide materiales que existen bajo otro nombre y uno se vuelve loco y con paciencia y por descarte se descubre que es lo que pide, ya que en nuestro inventario figura bajo otro nombre.

Ojala le metan mano al juego para guiar un poco mas al jugador indicando aprox con una marca donde tiene que ir para la misión que tenga en seguimiento. Ojala los bla bla con los NPC puedan tener algo de sentido, ya que muchas veces solo el NPC y sus amigos imaginarios saben de que carajo esta hablando el NPC, y que estos den algo más de indicaciones.

El tema de fabricar las armas, ropa, etc... es bastante desastre, muy interesante, pero desastre. En las recetas ya algo avanzadas pierdes la cabeza. Tienes que fabricar objetos tipo cadena de montaje, necesitas crear unos antes que luego se necesitan para crear otros, y con las traducciones google.... una risa.

yo por mi parte ya he perdido la ganas. He llegado a un punto que me piden una serie de objetos que no se como conseguir, ni donde, ni con que NPC tengo que habla ya que no se llama ni donde empezar a buscar... Y me niego a buscar debajo las piedras en todos los reinos.

Por el momento no lo recomiendo. Apenas lo ha jugado mucha gente y obtener información es casi tarea imposible, y un juego que para poder avanzar tienes que dedicarle de 1 a 2 horas, cada vez que te quedas tirado en una misión, buscando info, viendo gameplays de otro que luego son click-bait, y etc... para mi no es juego es una tomadura de pelo.

[h3]🎮 Всем доброго времени суток!
⠀⠀⠀⠀На связи — [url=steamcommunity.com/id/2o77x] [b]KΛRHΛD[/b] [/url][/h3]

С Nightingale у меня получилось не с первого раза. Запустил, побегал час-полтора, закрыл. Через пару дней вернулся — уже без ожиданий, просто посмотреть, как оно ощущается в более спокойном темпе. И вот со второй попытки игра зацепила. Не резко, без «вау-эффекта», а постепенно — через мелкие детали и странное ощущение, что ты сам задаёшь себе ритм.

Пишу сейчас, пока впечатления ещё свежие и не сгладились привычкой.

[h3]🗺️ О чём эта игра[/h3]

Это выживач с крафтом, строительством и перемещениями между мирами. Основная идея — не один открытый мир, а набор реалмов, которые ты собираешь через карты. Карта задаёт условия: биом, ресурсы, уровень опасности, иногда дополнительные правила. Получается что-то вроде конструктора.

Сюжет есть, но он не лезет вперёд. Тебя вытаскивают из неприятной ситуации, связанной с фейри, и дальше ты уже сам решаешь, насколько в это всё вникать. Квесты описываются довольно расплывчато, без привычных маркеров. Иногда это выглядит как [i]«пойди туда, сам поймёшь»[/i]. Не всегда удобно, но зато не превращается в список задач.

В основе всё знакомо: собираешь ресурсы, строишь базу, открываешь новые рецепты, идёшь дальше. Разница в том, что игру можно подстраивать под себя — не через настройки, а через те же карты и внутриигровые механики.

[h3]🧭 Как игра ведёт себя дальше[/h3]

Через несколько сессий становится понятнее, на чём всё держится. Игра не торопит. Можно долго возиться с базой, можно уйти исследовать новый реалм, можно просто заниматься крафтом. Она не пытается постоянно подкидывать события, и кому-то это покажется пустотой.

Мне, скорее, зашло. Есть ощущение, что ты сам выбираешь, чем заниматься, а не реагируешь на очередное [i]«срочно иди сюда»[/i]. Но есть и обратная сторона — если не находишь себе цель, игра начинает провисать.

Исследование устроено аккуратно. Точки интереса не подсвечиваются, но расставлены логично. Ты просто идёшь куда-то и по дороге цепляешься за детали. Иногда это работает очень естественно, иногда — наоборот, теряешь время, потому что не совсем понятно, где искать нужное.

[h3]🔥 Опыт после нескольких сессий[/h3]

Крафт здесь оказался глубже, чем я ожидал. Не в плане сложности рецептов, а в том, как материалы влияют на результат. Один и тот же предмет может дать разные бонусы в зависимости от того, из чего он сделан. Это не бросается в глаза сразу, но потом начинаешь подбирать ресурсы уже осознанно.

База — тоже не просто склад. Есть система [u]аугментов[/u]: разные объекты усиливают верстаки, если стоят рядом. В теории это заставляет продумывать расположение, а не просто раскидывать всё по углам. На практике работает не всегда стабильно, но сама идея нормальная.

Сложность можно менять довольно гибко. Если не хочется тратить время на тяжёлые бои — можно упростить себе жизнь. Если наоборот — добавить давления. Это особенно чувствуется в соло, где обычно баланс либо слишком лёгкий, либо слишком душный.

Но техническое состояние иногда всё портит. Просадки, странные визуальные эффекты, редкие баги — не критично, но мешает расслабиться.

[h3]⚙️ Что работает хорошо[/h3]

• Система реалмов — даёт ощущение вариативности, а не просто смену декораций
• Крафт с влиянием материалов — есть смысл в выборе, а не только в количестве
• База и аугменты — заставляют думать о расположении, а не просто строить «как влезет»
• Атмосфера — спокойная, местами даже медитативная
• Визуальный стиль — викторианское фэнтези смотрится свежо
• Гибкая настройка сложности — удобно подстраивать под себя
• Соло-игра ощущается нормально, без давления

[h3]⚠️ Что портит впечатление[/h3]

• Оптимизация — скачки FPS и микрофризы всё ещё встречаются
• Баги — иногда мелкие, иногда мешают прогрессу
• Интерфейс — не всегда удобен, особенно в инвентаре и крафте
• Повторяемость — сбор ресурсов со временем начинает утомлять
• Боевая система — простая, быстро перестаёт удивлять
• Аугменты работают нестабильно — бонусы могут «отваливаться»
• Привязка к серверам — даже в соло бывают проблемы со входом
• Отсутствие нормальной локализации — часть текста читается тяжело

[h3]🧭 Итог[/h3]

Nightingale — игра не для всех. Она не старается постоянно развлекать и не подталкивает игрока. Скорее даёт инструменты и смотрит, что ты с ними сделаешь.

Если нравится неспешный темп, крафт с нюансами и ощущение, что ты сам строишь свой игровой процесс — стоит попробовать. Если хочется плотного экшена, чёткого сюжета и отполированного опыта — лучше подождать.

Лично для меня она держится на идее реалмов и общей атмосфере. Не без проблем, но возвращаться хочется.

[b]⭐6.5/10 — интересная основа, которой пока не хватает аккуратности в деталях[/b]

Если уже далеко продвинулись — интересно, стало ли ощущаться цельнее.

I tried. I really did. Visually, it looked SO promising, but that promise, or perhaps the premise itself, was broken right from the start. It honestly felt like false advertising. I understand it takes time to get to the really good stuff they showcase in videos, but the user experience of this whole mess was UTTERLY MADDENING!

I loved the atmosphere and the core ideas even though I found Puck to be an annoying, pointless, overbearing footnote. The crafting tabs and learning trees look pretty straightforward enough. The art is lovely. The whole idea of it all made me want to dive in and explore it in every way.

But... More than half of what little time I spent the moment I got out of that first cave was trying to aim properly, fiddling with inventory, and making sense of those actual crafting trees. Then I experimented with 3rd person mode, but that was even more awkward and actually made my dizzy. (Granted, I do have sensitivity to motion with some camera setups, but even with Valheim, I made it through a few hundred hours despite it having a pretty bad camera and janky FOV).

Also, more than a few times, I got stuck and couldn't move except spin the camera around for some reason... while in the middle of the path and apparently nothing blocking my way. Maybe it's just my setup. In fact, this is the only review I've ever posted so far with my specs, just in case maybe that's a factor. I dunno.

Worst of all, this feels way too much like an inventory management nightmare. This much is clear from other reviews. What seems to be a lore-filled world with lots of things to do and explore is hampered severely by an outright convoluted and exasperating UX that really should already have been cleaned up and polished at this stage. If it was CONTENT and balancing that was still in the queue, I could understand. Take Runescape Dragonwilds for example, which is also in EA at this time; not necessarily the most fantastic world or narrative IMO, but overall execution and polish? Pretty great! But here, there are too many things that feel inhibitive and sorely in need of QoL fixes. How am I supposed to explore, fight, and build when the very systems in place for doing so are also a constant and aggravating hurdle?

Anyway. At the end of the day, there just wasn't enough for me to push through the annoyances. I'm kind of sad and disappointed at the whole experience. In all my years on Steam, I've only once ever left a negative review for something refunded. This marks the second. I simply can't recommend something that's in this state and this lackluster after apparently being in early access for two years.

This is definitely a fun game with what they have currently but there have been a few bugs that have started to make it annoying to play. The first is inconsistency with gear, my umbrella will do the particles and the sound effect, yet doesn't actually activates the umbrella. Climbing picks are hit or miss, half the time it automatically puts me on to the wall to climb and other times it does nothing, even after hitting space, I still don't attach to the wall. The last one concerns the food, I've wasted far too many potions because it uses potions while I hold Q, without letting it go. I will go to feed and as soon as the food menu closes, it uses my potion. This game is definitely fun but with the frequency of these issues that I'm experiencing, its gotten to be pretty annoying. My keyboard is also brand new, just bought a couple months ago and hasn't had input issues except for this game.

The inventory and crafting system in this game are an absolute HEADACHE to learn. In fact, nothing about how to play this game is obvious or intuitive. Picked up a healing item? Cool. Should be in your inventory, right..? Well it’s not there. Oh, that’s because it’s in your other other other inventory. Trying to cook? Ok first open the base of the cooking station. Now what? Ok add wood… Oops you accidentally just added every piece of wood you own. Ok you got that fixed, now let’s cook… one piece of meat at a time..? That sucks. Oh wait apparently there’s a craft multiple option by hitting a button to add more. Cool. And now you can’t run or jump, but why? Google search, ok apparently I’m overweight. Put everything in a box, still at 3/4 weight capacity… OH right, there’s a ton of stuff in my other other other inventory tab. I’ve had this game a month and still been unable to stomach the tutorial missions long enough to open my first portal on the main land.

Not sure why players are dissing this game. It's a lovely survival/building/quest-oriented gaming experience. I'm on a low-end system, but the graphics are still gorgeous. The amount of character customization on creation is staggering. Open-world exploring, helping out the locals, looking everywhere for hidden chests, what's not to enjoy? The fighting can be challenging depending on difficulty level, and rewarding. The baddies are intimidating and creepy. And flying around on an umbrella, Mary Poppins style? OMG, so fun. Run around with a recruitable companion to carry some extra stuff, have them draw some aggro--*quiet* companions who don't annoy you by saying the same few lines of dialog every few seconds, so nice and useful. The card system to travel and change environments is genius and unique. And that's just solo-play. Getting to co-op with friends, visit each other's building projects, helping each other unlock new stuff. Rewarding. Can't wait to see what the next world is like!

游戏组队玩着还挺好玩，装备自由组合度高，开始玩近战，打bossrush以后开始三修，打到46层没耐心了，40层以后奖励没有吸引力了。夜莺城有4个侵袭点死活找不到入口，反复重置找了四遍，实在没办法。建筑都挺有特色，也很简单，修了4种风格的房子，花了差不多70小时，主要是能直接调用箱子的材料，很方便。挺喜欢这游戏，希望继续更新夜莺城后面的内容。

The lore in this game feels very in depth and unique. The idea of the game is great, too. Initially, when it was launched as online only play it felt a lot more polished for the style it was trying to accomplish. However, when they took down online only and made it dedicated hosting or p2p solo hosting, it introduced many issues that just take away from the game.

P2p connection is very unstable. Some days we have no issue connecting, others retry 10 times to connect once. Then when you change realms, good chance to disconnect and have to retry again for an hour to reconnect.

Dedicated server hosting works pretty well on connection. The problem with only having a dedicated connection, though, is if you change the realm - it forces everyone you are playing with to go with you. So if you have a large party that is splitting tasks - someone wants to build and craft at base while someone else wants to realm hop to resource collect, the only way to really accomplish this is to leave the realm and host your own through the UI. Then when someone else wants to join your hosted realm, you are at the whims of the poor network connection logic this game has in place.

It would be nice to see improvements to the connectivity for p2p - I've played many games of this genre and none have I had the kind of connectivity issues as I do with this game. It would also be nice to be able to switch server connections through the game itself instead of having to leave and connect through the main menu. This is how it felt before the changes - a portal could be connected to a player's address. I get the difficulty to do it 1 for 1 with the current offline/online system, but the way this is addressed feels entirely broken to the point of losing all desire to play through the actual content of the game.

Even the ability to connect a portal from one dedicated server to a portal of another dedicated server could solve for this. Then players could host multiple servers simultaneously (through pay to host or self hosting) and have one for home base while the other would be for missions or resource collecting.

If you don't mind playing solo, this game is pretty legit. It's beautiful, and the story and system is very intriguing. But if you want a place where you can connect with your friends to join in their realm and leave to your own at will, this game is currently all but broken for this. The work arounds are too painful, unreliable, and require breaking of immersion to too high of a degree.

I will be paying attention to dev updates. I really do hope they can fix some of these pain points and make this game the gem it could be. I do intend to play again if they do.

First: this game is GORGEOUS! The fantasy setting makes it so immersive.

Second: Crafting system is enjoyably complex and the progression to unlock recipes keeps me hunting for essence. If you don't like crafting, you can choose to explore or trade for your tools.

Third: Combat felt simple yet fun at first with Tier 1 enemies. I got to a Tier 2 area and started getting ruined by new enemies. This made me change up my strategy and upgrade my gear. Came back feeling challenged but prepared.

Fourth: This game isn't trying to be like other games. It has unique mechanics and storylines that set it apart, feeling fresh.

Overall: One of my favorite games recently.

En 4h de jeu Nightingale ne m'a pas convaincu. L'histoire est peu intéréssante, les pnjs qui compose le monde sont totalement générique et propose tous quasiment les mêmes quetes...On passe sa vie à crafter, couper du bois, acheter des recettes, c'est du vue et revue. L'aspect steampunk est présent, peut-être un peu trop. Le tutoriel est basique et trop mou pour que l'on se sente pris aux tripes. Planer avec le parapluie est une corvée vraiment, se battre c'est pareil, heuresement qu'un pnj peut nous accompagner partout pour nous servir de larbin dans tout ce que l'on entreprends mais ça ne suffit vraiment pas à nous faire aimé le jeu. Je ne pense pas revenir dessus malheuresement, j'ai l'impression d'avoir déja perdus assez de temps avec un erzats de mod pour Oblivion Remake enfaite. Terrible...

It is fun enough. The crafting is really robust and you can spend a lot of time min-maxing. I have no idea what the lore is, because every bit of dialogue and log in this game was written by someone clearly paid by the word and beaten if it was too interesting.

It was really cool to meet Edgar Allen Poe, and skip 100% of the dialogue, because every character in this is a yapper with absolutely nothing to say. It's like someone sat down and was like "What if we sounded like Shakespeare, but without the jokes, and the double entendres, and we get rid of plot and intrigue, but we keep all the flowery language? Like it should be like skipping through the field of flowers, but the flowers are all fake and instead of soil it is just human teeth, so it just becomes a slog, but if you are standing REALLY far away and you kind of squint it sort of looks like it is pleasurable. Like I love to read Charles Dickens, like love love love him bro, but like what if rather than a story about the French revolution, it was just the scene with the bottle of wine falling on the ground stretched out to the whole book. BRO BRO BRO, I KNOW, IT IS SUCH A GOOD IDEA!" For those of you who don't know, that was a reference to A Tale of Two cities, and no, I do not recommend it, because much like the dialogue in this game, it is overly wordy, with a plot I stopped caring about about a 3rd of the way in. If you are confused, you are probably asking yourself "Why is the person, in this hypothetical dialogue you have come up with, a gym bro?" It is simple, my young padawan.

In the year 1954, Philip Morris & Co began advertising using "The Marlboro Man". This six shooter carrying, cigarette slinging, mascot was not a well researched representation of historical cowboys, but a caricature birthed to sell cigarettes and is basically why Red Dead Redemption 2 looks like that. The exact same dude bro that went "bro bro bro bro, what if we made grand theft auto, but cowboys?" decided what the dialogue for this game looked like they read some classic books in college, because they thought it would impress some girls... that's good enough.

You see how that entire block of text was just meandering, pointless, and you are dumber, and have lost some of your life? That is a taste of the dialogue in the game, but with less pointless adjectives and filler words. It is just as vapid and pointless. However, unlike the devs, I know reading all of this was a waste of time, and I did all of this because I HATE YOU.

This game is generally lacking in optimization, both in its platforming sections and quest objectives, as well as in crafting and housing. However, there's been a long way to go between the early versions of the game and its current state, so I'm looking forward to playing version 1.0 someday! Despite the game's current flaws, I enjoy it a lot and recommend it.

Recently picked this is up and it has become a favourite. The visuals are amazing, the story is interesting, and it's so much fun to Mary Poppins around the Realms. Even though I'm almost 80 hours in, there's still so much I have to explore and unlock.

The crafting and building system is intricate and I love that using different kinds of compontents influences the stats of the final product and the compounds as you need more and more complex compomonents as the the recipe progression unfolds.

Definitely a lot of fun and even better if you pick it up on sale!

It get's kind of boring after 20 hours. And the quests are a bit messy.

Tried to help my friend get to the end to have all the building options, because she likes to build.
It did not work because of a quest desync near the end of the main quest.
She (host) is not able to progress the quest and I am not able to progress the quest.
She is not able to finish it alone after resetting the realm.

...all because at one point I started a quest instead of her.

--> Edit 1 day later <--
She tried again in a Solo game, got the quest to progress, invited me, and we both were able to continue.
Not fun, but also not gamebreaking.

Nice buy during a sale, don't expect to much.
20 hrs - 50 hrs gametime for 5€ is not bad.

--> Edit 2 days later <--
Turns out the final crafting options were locked behind some other thing then the main quest.
Something that seemed "Optional".

Also: Clunky controller gameplay, luckily there is an easy mode :D

It's a fun survival craft, but it got repetitive quickly. There are several realms to visit, but they begin to look the same, with the exact same layout and challenges, once you've seen the first three, which was disappointing. I'd have thought there'd be more environments to explore rather than what we were given - I'd assumed each realm would be themed (to match the minor cards) with dense forests, mountains, deserts, oceans, swamps, and bosses and biome based on the environment. Unfortunately, this wasn't the case in this game and once you've seen one desert realm, you've seen them all.

Once you were in the realm, there were very few real challenges - the map is provided, so you're basically ticking off POI, there was very minimal discovery to this game, which took away some of the need to grind which is 80% of the fun. Clouding the maps at a minimum would have made a difference from an explorer aspect.

A few glitches here and there; my friend couldn't use the grappling 70% of the time, and she'd get stuck in random jump spots forcing her to leave the game and come back. It became tedious. Another issue was not sharing quests - a shared world should have shared quests and tasks. It felt very individualistic at times despite the overall point of the game being to cooperate and survive together.

I bought it on sale for $8 versus the $45, so I feel like despite the reptitiveness and glitches, it was still a win. I wouldn't recommend buying it for its full price, at least not until it's out of EA and has addressed the bugs and other issues.

It was still enjoyable, but definitely buy it on sale.

Today, 18/03/206, I'm sharing my initial impressions of Nightingale. Later, I'll provide a longer, more thorough review, but here are my current thoughts that highlight what makes the game stand out:

First impressions: the game is a gem, a wonder, and a very delightful experience. Notably, after previously refunding it due to poor optimization (which is now resolved on the same PC), I can appreciate it even more. Thank you, devs!

I loved the premise from the start, and I´m really happy that I tried it again. Nightingale is quite unique. On one hand, it ignores some trappings of the survival genre of games, which I´m quite familiar with, and on the other hand, it builds gear improvement and, more than anything, a sense of wonder and exploration, rarely seen before.

It has a few problems, IMHO: the combat is a bit lackluster, but I have to say, since my PC is really on the lower end, it plays a part on the jankyness of it. It is not CP2077 combat on FP, and it is not Soul Mask in third person. It does not matter that much, because, to sum up, it works. I also wish the game had deeper automation aspect, and again, Soul Mask is a good example of how it can be done in a survival game, and despite being very different games, the way the base functions on it, if the devs could check out and bring from Soul Mask some of the ideas to Nightingale, it would make the base “social” and “roleplaying” aspect much more lively and let the player even more free to explore.

And explorations are really, really cool in this game. It's still in early access, and I hope they eventually have time and resources to put even more creatures and enemies in the game (more is better in many cases), but the way it works now is very satisfying. It has some calm aspect to it, and then things go to hell! It is very Kenshi in this way, which exploration brings a sense of wonder for the things you see and the slight weirdness of it all, but with dangers that lurk just below the surface.

The game is really beautiful, and that is saying something when you play it from a potato. Colors, flora, fauna, all bring this sense of weird, of derranged fantasy that had gone too far to the horror and madness side.

I will keep exploring. Later, I came for a review that breaks down several aspects of the game. But for the moment, I certainly recommend it for people who are looking for something that is not much of the same and a survival game that is not harsh on survival, or that relies too much on combat.

habe es gespielt, hat am Anfang spaß gemacht aber die Questen werden nicht erklärt oder gehen nicht, ( z.b stand da das ich eine Siedlung finden soll und jemanden rekrutieren soll habe seit Anfang an Jemand, und auch während die quest aktiv war habe ich Leute Rekrutiert und es schließt es nicht ab) und andere werden Gar nicht erklärt.

Die MAP (Karte) ist sehr schlecht, questen werden nicht hervorgehoben, aber jede gesehene Höhle wird gezeigt das nichts bringt weil ich nicht einsehen kann was sich darin befindet ( meist unnötige Erze) und die Icons überlappen sich das ich manchmal nicht sehe was da alles ist.

dann der Schirm ist geil , aber warum genau verdeckt er zwischen 20 und 30% meines Bildschirmes ? und eine richtige Erklärung für das Gameplay gibt es auch nicht, du hast 1-7 normale Slots und 8,9,0 so extra dinge wo auch der Schirm drin ist musste die 8 immer frei halten weil ich die Taste nicht kenne, oder nicht gibt um meine Zweithand wegzustecken ( das gleiche auch für Haupthand aber das war verkraftbar weil diese Grade mal 2-5% des Bildschirmes einnehmen).

dann der Ladebildschirm ist sehr lang und du kannst dich mit einem Portal zu dem gleichen Ort Teleportieren hast wieder einen langen Ladebildschirm, wenn Koop gespielt wird kriegt der Mitspieler keine Nachricht darüber das er sich Teleportieren will, er wird mitgezogen nur der Host des Servers darf Annehmen/Ablehnen, und nicht zu vergessen das es mindestens 5 Sekunden brauch damit das "Annehmen" die in den ladebildschirm versetzt, der Mitspieler wartet derweil in einem Schwarzen Bildschirm mit Ton.

Es gibt zwar auch gute dinge aber die meisten werden hinter irgendwas zurückgehalten, wie z.b. das bauen durch Essenzen, unnötiges Farmen für Materialien(gute Erze) wo es nur 4-5 Stück pro 3-4(Schätzung könnten auch mehr sein) ingame Tagen gibt, Welten Karten das die Karte anders aussehen hinter entweder Essenzen, Finden oder dem "Bonus" dem die Karte gibt und vieles mehr.

This is a very pretty but badly optimised game. I enjoyed it, but at what cost? Constant restarts, bad climbing mechanics, bad portal mechanics, bad fighting mechanics, abysmal FPS drops, and billions of other things that I wrote out and accidentally deleted so just take my word for it.

Pros: sunsets. Hot Bound daddies. Crafting. Base building. Umbrella. Climbing picks (if you're the host)
Cons: basically everything else but especially the fetch quests.

WHY DO I HAVE TO TELEPORT HOME BEFORE GOING ANYWHERE ELSEEEEEEEEE

Oh and every third sword swing does no damage if you're in someone else's world. Diabolical. How do you even code that.

Still loved it though. But I don't recommend it if you have lower than the regulation amount of patience

Edit: can't spell

Nightingale is the most fun game I would not recommend to anyone in its unloved state.

What works:
The vision for this game is absolutely spectacular. It takes the concept of survival crafting games, and adds a refreshing spin through the use of portals and other dimensions, an intriguing magic system, and best yet - *umbrellas.* There is an immense satisfaction in gliding my way off cliffs towards my quest destination.

The graphics are just lovely, and the design of the Bound are really cool.

What does not work:
Just about everything else.

One of my least favourite elements is the use of fetch quests in absolutely everything; I found myself dreading the next stage because the quest structure often went like: talk to person - go to another realm and fight stages of things, grab an item - go back to person - go fight more stuff, fetch another thing - go back to person - go fight yet *more* stuff, fetch another thing - go back to person- you get my drift. It felt like the inspiration for the game was there, but there was no inspiration behind these quests that did nothing to make the world feel more magical, but only drained my focus and my patience.

The second element I did not enjoy here - this game is obviously designed to play with friends. That's wonderful! I love gaming with friends! But why do we all have to travel to the same realm together? It leaves people no choice for how they want to play the game.

I've been a long-time supporter of early access games (absolutely love them), and I still managed to have fun a good bit of fun, but the bugs became progressively worse throughout the game. Just a few of these bugs can be found below.

- [when joining someone else's world]: I noticed that in solo play, all my weaponsworked beautifully. There is a specific motion with the sword which is 'swipe-swipe-stab' completed in 3 rapid clicks. The second I joined my friend which was predominantly how I played, I could not do this mechanism. It would complete the first two swipes, and then just sort of lag / gloss over the jab which has the most impact. This issue was evident in every sword iteration, and issues in guns too.
- [when joining someone else's world]: climbing picks do not work more than half of the time. I can scale a structure but towards the end my character will glitch and float in the air. I am unable to do anything in this state, except leave and rejoin the game. Repeatedly.
- [later game] - I have arrived in Nightingale itself! This would have been exciting, but through most of the Nightingale quests I have had immense lag and significantly dropped framerates both joining a world and undertaking solo play. It has lost me battles, quests I have completed have 'undone' themselves. This is the stage where unfortunately, the game is becoming completely unplayable.
- [marker bug] - I can put a marker down on the map, and I can remove it on the map, but it will not leave my character's view throughout the gameplay. It is gone from the map, but not my view.
- [portal bug] - this happens especially in multiplayer, roughly 30-40% of the time new portals during quests and missions entirely break the game. The first time, we did not realise it was broken and would not resolve and we waited 15mins before ALT+F4'ing the game.
- Various other bugs, cannot think of them all at once.

For a game that has been in early access for over 2yrs, these are not issues that should be continuing.

I purchased the game about 3 days ago. This is my first PC and I've seen a ton of gameplay footage for this game. First off, The controls are a little awkward, but that might be all PC games. For my first PC game ever, I'm thoroughly enjoying the game. So far I've been playing solo. I'm a little intimidated to go online and play with others. Either way, the game is pretty and has a ton of customization and skills to learn. Definitely will continue to learn and explore. I'll come back in a month with an update

Just 16 hours in and I'm thoroughly in love!
The crafting system is vast with each component determining specs of the resulting tool. Hiring NPCs so they help you gather mats is awesome when playing alone. The visuals are stunning with actual plants being recognisable and not just "some shrubbery". Magic is subtle like crafting charms and Realm Cards, but you can also throw your standard fireball if you wish to.

Everything Valheim tried to, only much better. I'm really excited about the game's future!

Started three characters over two years in this game, the most recent one in february. While there is still a lot that can be improved, the game has come a long way since I played for the first time. I can't talk about the coop aspect, but it is a solid solo experience.

The combat is a big plus. The enemy types are very well designed and varied, especially among the Bound, and you have just as varied an arsenal to take them on. The four difficulties also work nicely. The easiest difficulty is well suited for people who are more interested in exploring than combat, but doesn't trivialise fights completely and you still need to pay at least a bit of attention to the enemies (especially in the Sites of power). The next difficulties go from having to pay active attention to having to make sure that you are well prepared up to thinking twice about triggering an encounter.

Crafting is very interesting, and has multiple layers. Higher tier materials give better gear, but you can additionally alter the stats of an item with the specific type of material used. Using different ores for example gives different stat bonuses to attack, crit chance etc for weapons, which lets you fine tune a lot of stuff. This is additionally enhanced by the ability to build augment stations, which give certain types of items crafted in their vicinity even more stat bonuses. Paired with the large amount of charms and enchantments, this gives you a lot of room to develop individual builds.

One thing that needs some more looking at is, in my opinion, the magic system. Spells are currently bound to a melee weapon, so to use a spell you need to equip a melee weapon that has this spell on it. Since you can only bind one spell to a weapon at a time, this makes magic very cumbersome to use in combat, as switching weapons leaves you open for attacks. You are also slowed while casting, and many spells need to be fully charged before they become viable to use. This is especially dissapointing as there are some spells that are very fun/interesting in theory (you can throw fish at your enemies). If they instead changed it so that you can "ready" a certain number of spells, so that you can cast them at all times via a quick-use wheel or something, it may become more viable.

Lastly, the realms are very beautifully designed, and exploring them is fun. As the non-story realms are procedurally generated, they become a bit repetitive after a while, but that is in the nature of procgen.

All in all this game is definetly worth buying when on sale, and has the potential to become something very interesting once finished.

Setting is great, world maps are decent, traversal is decent, combat is...decent. Story, what there is of it, is intriguing. Crafting is pretty well done and a slightly more interesting system than usual. Building is a little rough around the edges but allows for a lot of things. Overall fun, and I spent 80 hours clearing almost all of the content currently available (just didn't bother with a handful of collection quests in the final zone), but didn't really feel engaged enough to keep doing the end game grinding for the time being. Possibly once the last of the content is added. A bit middle of the pack in the survival crafting genre, but conceptually beautiful.

友人と2人でこのゲームを理解しようとした上で、
結論から言うと「つまらなかった」です。
（不快返金レベル）

2024年2月に１度諦めて、返金せずに期待を込めて2年寝かせました。
2026年3月に改めてゲームと向き合いましたが、根本的な改善が出来ていません。

世界観や雰囲気は好きです。
ゲーム性にも凄く魅力を感じていました。

このゲームの最大の問題点は2つあります。
（細かいのは省きます）

① 最適化されていない。（沢山）
ゲーム起動時、キャラ作成時、ゲームスタート時に違和感を感じました。
かなり待機した後、カクカクする画面と読み込みが終わっていないテクスチャーが表示されます。
新規プレイで早々にモチベーションを下げられます。
凄く印象が悪いです。先が不安になります。
キャラ作成画面で、誰が読み終わっていない髪や顔のテクスチャーを弄る気になるのでしょうか。
キャラ作成後もゲーム開始すると、永遠にロードを始めます。（体感3分以上）
ゲーム開始がもう出来ないかと思うレベルです。
ゲーム開始後も、定期的にカクつきやテクスチャーの粗がかなり目立ちます。

② ユーザビリティが非常に残念。
序盤のゲーム進行の流れが適切じゃないです。
最適化されていないゲーム画面のチュートリアルを覚えるのは、非常に難しいです。
まだゲーム性を理解していない中で、いきなり長文テキストを渡されても読む気になれません。
頑張って長文テキストを読んだとしても、頭に内容が定着しません。
（心理的にまだゲームを続けるか迷っているからです）
序盤はゲーム性を覚える為のルートが用意されています。
だけど、画面に次へ行くべき場所の目印がありません。
理解するには、マップを開く発想とマップの目印の意図を汲み取ってあげる必要があります。
なので、気づかず画面右上に表示されている目的を果たす為に、
最適化されていないマップを淡々と彷徨うことになる可能性が十分にあるチュートリアルになっています。
（友人がその状況に陥って、ゲームを閉じる寸前でした。）

もう２、３年経つゲームでアップデートをいくつか重ねているみたいですが、
根本的な改善は感じられませんでした。開発者の自己満足レベルだと思います。
（現に友人と僕は楽しい気持ちが来る前に、不快な思いと苦労を感じました。）

根本的なユーザービリティの改善は未だに出来ていません。（盲目？）
最適化も未だに出来ていない事にびっくりしました。

何故ゲーム開始早々にユーザー側が画質設定と睨めっこして、
最適解を探す作業をしないといけないのでしょうか。
今後も遊ぶかまだ決まっていないゲームの為に。
（カクつきやもっさり感は払拭できない）

以上の事から僕はこのゲームをオススメ出来ないし、
今後買おうとしてる友人がいたら全力で止めます。

Unstable. Crashes can lock your PC not just crash to desktop. And you can even lose your character. Granted i found a way to bring some back up files back, the process is convoluted and wouldnt be necessary if the game didnt crash so hard...
Load times. ...Go make yourself a samie... My PC may not be a jet engine anymore... but its Far from a toaster. So the load times are just another hurdle to trying to like this game.
Gameplay. Look...i dont need to be coddled. Games where you have to just use your common sense to figure out how to play dont really bother me. And the game Does have an in-game codex for help... but again its convoluted and tedious trying to figure out how to go about your characters build, building in general, and just plain the game itself sometimes.
Final notes. Yeah this will piss some off and i dont care. Deal with it. Body type A. Body type B......... ffs people say it with me now "Male and Female". Come on. One more time "Male and Female". Dont like that? Going to give me the jester??? (Oh wait can we even do that anymore steam???) Tough. Go bark at science. This isn't some attempt to 'review bomb' due to political beliefs either, because honestly that was the only thing that irritated me. So tbh thats rather light compared to some game companies (heres looking at you ubislop) No the final straw was the un-stability. I Really wanted to like this game. Its beautiful and the setting is unique...but its just not worth trudging through the bs.

C'est clair que c'est un jeu qui n'est pas encore proprement fini, et qui a vu énormément de changements, mais j'aime le résultat actuel assez bien.

C'est un beau mélange d'exploration, de crafting, de combat. On pourrait dire que le jeu essaye d'être beaucoup de choses et n'en fait rien à la perfection, mais pour moi le mix fonctionne bien.

J'ai joué la plupart de mes 50 heures jusqu'à présent en single player. C'est un peu mon style, et le jeu est assez accommodant. Il y a par contre assez d'opportunités pour travailler en équipe, mais faut évidemment que chacun achète sa copie à lui/elle.

La direction artistique est réussie, le sound design aussi. J'aime l'atmosphère assez particulière.

En tout, je dirais que ça vaut la peine, même si le jeu n'évoluerait pas beaucoup au delà de l'état actuel. Mais je dirais vaut mieux attendre à ce que ce soit en soldes.

I'd love to be able to play it, but as the game doesn't support resolution changes, only a poor implementation of DLSS/other supersampling techniques, it's impossible to reach a playable framerate.

My machine is within the recommended specs but as the only screen I can use is 4k, and the game only runs at borderless or a window floating in the middle of the desktop, and it conflicts with third party tools that try to force it to fullscreen, and the game's forced-on Lumen lighting is absurdly heavy at high resolutions, there's nothing I can do to get the game above 10fps in certain environments, even within the first two hours of the game.

What I played seemed... Clunky, old-fashioned, but pretty, atmospheric, and had satisfyingly punchy combat. I hope I can play it one day.

Pretty solid co-op, Survial crafting game with some unique ideas. Skill Tree is a maze and desperately needs a search bar. I also had to google how to progress a couple times because a quest just didnt explain what to do next.
I like that the crafting system lets you use different materials to craft the same item giving the final product different stats.
Theres a few pretty big glitches. for example on Co-op if someone enters a portal before the host, you will all get an infinite black screen and will have to close and relaunch the game.
would recommend if you like survival crafting games but beware its far from perfect.

J'ai vraiment essayé d'aimer ce jeu et je lui ai laissé sa chance avec 9 heures de jeu au compteur. Malheureusement, je dois dire que je n'y rejouerai plus.
Tout n'est pas négatif : le jeu est très beau visuellement, à mon humble avis. L'univers et l'ambiance sont réussis, et c'est clairement un des seuls points forts du jeu.
Par contre, plusieurs éléments rendent l'expérience difficile à apprécier. Les combats manquent de sensations, et la gestion de l'inventaire, des quêtes et même de la base est très peu intuitive. Globalement, beaucoup de systèmes du jeu semblent compliqués pour rien.
Même après 9 heures de jeu, je ne suis toujours pas certain de comprendre clairement ce que je dois faire dans chaque monde ni quel est réellement l'objectif.
Un autre problème est la traduction française, qui n'est pas entièrement complétée. Certaines parties ne sont toujours pas traduites, et il semble qu'il n'y aura plus de mise à jour pour corriger cela, ce qui rend l'expérience encore plus confuse.
Le jeu avait pourtant de bonnes idées, mais selon moi il n'a pas réussi à s'imposer dans le genre des jeux survie, contrairement à d'autres titres comme Enshrouded que je recommande fortement!
Ma note final pour Nightingale : 4/10, dans son état actuel, je le déconseille.

Well, the game is serviceable, buy this on sale only
If u played this on normal, the game end very quickly because how weak the enemy is
But if u played on nightmare, then it will become grinding fest becuz HP of inflation
The game is fun until u reach the 3rd realm, then after that you just speed run through the realm to reach the next gear tier, becuz if u gonna farming for every single gear tier, it gonna took forever, and totally not worth it
Most quest are just fetch quest, very bland, run from point A to point B, get X item C, and so on
Boss are not unique, both realm boss and elite boss, they are just a bigger version of normal mob, result in a predictable battle/fight, and most of the boss after the 3rd realm are just dps check, no real mechanic. even the final boss
Magic system is half-baked, only Recovery are worth using in late game, give your melee some magick stats and Recovery, and never touch it again, better off with gun and bow
Even the final realm are just running around doing errand, kill a boring final boss, and that's is
The game have nothing to explore, notthing to attract your curiousity, all POI are reuse so they look the same. Just the same old biome with a slight different terrain, and it keep repeating itself
The biggest pros is the game is beautiful, every single weapon feel very nice to use with the exception for Maul (look ♥♥♥♥, played like ♥♥♥♥, and useless later on), they hit hard, they sound good, parry/deflect is also very satisfying, but sadly they kinda rush the game? So the T5 weapon look exactly the same as the T3++, and T4 are just upgraded T3++
Still, i have a good time, despite it kinda fell off

So poorly optimized it hurts.
My partner and I have thrown roughly 12 hours into this game now, trying to love it for all its worth. Unfortuantely the enjoyment we had was cut short but major optimization oversights. Running this on a 9700x/9070xt build at 4k, I get less than 50 frames. My partner running this at 1440p on 7800xt/5600xt gets roughly 50 frames. Sure the step up from 1440 to 4k is mega, but surely someone running at 1440p should be getting a significantly higher frame rate.

Don't get me started on the stutters and 1% lows because we'll be here for a month and all be crying at the end.

Graphically it's great. Content wise, it sucks. Delivery based on initial promises... man that was more than a screwup.

평가가 나빠서 보류하고 있다가 할인해서 샀습니다.

일단 최적화가 진짜 구립니다.
렐름이라는 구역을 계속 옮겨다니면서 플레이하는데. 렐름 로딩 진짜 깁니다.
그리고 멀티 부분에서 버그가 심합니다. 대부분 등반용갈고리(피켈) 문제입니다. 어느 순간 피켈이 안써져서 재접만 수십 번 했습니다.

전체 틀로 보자면 "렐름 진입 - 정수파밍+레시피 해금 - 퀘스트 - 보스 구역 - 다음 단계 렐름 진입" 의 순서를 밟습니다.
각 렐름마다 환경만 바뀌고, 계속 똑같은 바스티유 3종/점령/지원/방어... 반복입니다. (그래도 이 부분은 생각보다 할만합니다. 좀 피곤한 것만 빼면...)
그리고 렐름 지역에 숨겨져 있는 상자들 내용물... 진심 개맛없습니다. 쓰래기통을 뒤져도 이것보단 값질 겁니다.

전투는 패링, 회피, 무기스킬들 다 괜찮았습니다. 특히 단순한 채집 도구에도 전투 스킬을 달아준 게 신기했습니다. (특히 낫)
아, 마법은 별로입니다. 성능이 좋긴 한데, 가짓수가 많은 데에 비해 쓰는 건 몇 개 안됩니다.

이 게임의 핵심인 제작 시스템은 장단점이 진짜 심하게 드러나는데
장점인 부분은 재료 별로 능력치가 정해져 있어서 그 모든 능력치가 장비or음식에 더해지는 방식인데, 빌드 구상할 때, 재료부터 생각해야 하는 게 꽤 신선했습니다. (재료 잘 써서 수치 좋게 잘 뽑아내면 기분이 좋습니다.)

단점인 부분은... 제작이라는 것 자체가 진짜 피곤합니다;; 재료를 가공해서 부소재 만들고, 그 부소재를 합쳐서 메인 소재로 만들고, 메인 소재에... 어쩌고 저쩌고... 마이너 카드를 어쩌고... 주입물을 저쩌고... 부적도 고르고...
장비 하나 만드는데 이렇게 과정이 번잡합니다. 이걸 10종류씩 만들고 있으면 진짜 정신 나갑니다.

특히 부속품 부분은 간편화가 이루어져야 한다고 생각합니다. 자루, 금속판, 장식, 버튼, 애칭된 잉곳 등등... 어차피 재료도 잉곳 1개인데...? 왜 굳이...? 차라리 합금 잉곳을 더 많이 만들지...

전체적으로 재미도 있고, 이런저런 시도를 많이 해서 신선하고 좋지만, 전부 애매하게 불편해서 사람 피곤하게 만듭니다. 할인 할 때 사서 한번 해보세요.

over all its was quite enjoyable. however i finished the game without really needing to gear up all the way. and the persistent glitches, uncompletable goals and quests....very difficult to locate resources etc. also transferring realms took quite long.

Wer sich ein wenig Zeit nimmt und auch bereit ist ein klein wenig zu lesen und vor allem zu experimentieren, kann hier eine etwas andere Mischung aus Herstellung, Bauen, Erkunden und Geschichte entdecken.

Einige Mechaniken vereinen Fluch und Segen zugleich. Fluch deshalb, weil es dazu führt, dass es eine Vielzahl von Materialen mit unterschiedlichen Eigenschaften gibt. Das ist jedoch auch ein Segen, wenn man es mag seine Kleidung und Ausrüstung individuell zu gestalten. Die Kleidung und Ausrüstung kann man dann noch weiter mit "Infusionen" und Zauber verfeinern und auch ein wenig visuell (Muster und Farben) nachträglich noch verändern. Positiv ist, dass standardmäßig alle Lagerbehälter so eingestellt sind, dass daraus hergestellt werden kann. Optional kann man bei jedem Lagerbehälter auch noch wählen, ob daraus auch gebaut werden kann.

Es gibt unterschiedliche Werkbänke mit unterschiedlichen Erweiterungen (recht ähnlich zu Valheim), die wiederum unterschiedliche Aspekte beeinflussen. Auch hier ist es leider wieder Fluch und Segen zugleich. Bevor man ein Teil herstellt, sollte man sich ggf. die Zeit nehmen auch die passenden Erweiterungen zu der Werkbank vorher auszuwählen.

Wer also kein Problem damit hat mit vielen Materialen zu arbeiten und gern "bastelt", wird hier belohnt.

Ebenfalls gibt es ein Komfortsystem (ähnlich Valheim), was wohl als kleiner Anreiz dient auch die anderen vermeintlich nutzlosen Sachen zu bauen. Tatsächlich werden hier auch Baumeister belohnt, da der Großteil der "Bauteile" und Einrichtungen sehr auf einander abgestimmt sind. Auch wenn ich das Freischalten einiger "Bauteile" teilweise nicht nachvollziehen konnte. So schaltet man im weiteren Spielverlauf "Bauteile" einer Holzhütte frei, die ich eher am Anfang gesehen hätte. Ein Bauen und Einrichten wie man es in Enshrouded machen kann, sollte hier nicht erwartet werden (kein Voxelgame).

Auch die Essensmechanik orientiert sich Richtung Valheim. Gepaart mit der Eingangs erwähnten Materialvielfalt kann man auch hier bei der Nahrung individuell entscheiden, ob man den Fokus zum Beispiel eher auf Gesundheit und/oder Ausdauer legt. Ergänzt wird das durch einige Tränke.

Ein weiterer Vergleich zu Valheim ist, dass du mit einem Charakter in verschiedenen "Welten" spielen kannst. So spiele ich mit meinem Hauptcharakter einmal in meiner eigenen "Welt" und in der "Welt" von meinem Kumpel im Koop (und entgegen einiger anderer Rezessionen hier, haben wir im Koop keine Probleme). Wichtig ist hierbei, dass der persönliche Questfortschritt und das Inventar beim Charakter liegt und quasi mitgenommen wird.

Eine Besonderheit von dem Spiel ist, dass es möglich ist neben den Hauptreichen (Realms), die nach und nach durch die Geschichte freigeschaltet werden sich eigene Realms zu erstellen, um dort gezielt nach Ressourcen zu suchen. Auch können diese Realms mit "kleinen Karten" beeinflusst werden. Leider wurde hier aus meiner Sicht einiges an Potential verschenkt. So gibt es nur wenige Biome und auch wenn es viele "kleine Karten" gibt, da wäre sicherlich noch mehr gegangen. Zum Beispiel das Kombinieren von Karten, oder das man mehrere zeitgleich aktivieren kann.

Die Biom- und auch die Kreaturenvielfalt - insbesondere die Gegner - hält sich also in Grenzen. Da hätte sogar für meinen Geschmack noch mehr sein dürfen.

Hinzu kommt, dass das Spiel doch einiges an Hardware fordert, wenn es gut aussehen soll. Auch clippen die Kreaturen beim Kampf gern einmal. Ist die Hardware vorhanden, sieht das Spiel stellenweise beeindruckend aus. Angenehm ist ebenfalls der Sound. Die Musik ist nie aufdringlich. Leider gibt es keine durchgehende Vertonung der Hauptstorycharakter. Was möglich gewesen wäre, hört man eindrucksvoll an "Puck" - wenn auch nur Englisch.

Kleines Fazit:
Es ist etwas anders und wirkt gerade am Anfang teilweise abschreckend. Dabei übernimmt es stellenweise gute bekannte Mechaniken und erweitert diese sinnvoll und auch stimmig. Und dennoch stellt sich teilweise das Gefühl ein, dass da noch mehr gegangen wäre. Lässt man sich jedoch darauf ein und akzeptiert die Schwächen kann man doch einiges an Zeit versenken und Spaß haben.

Задумка игры визуальный стиль и геймплей мне понравились, но сильно хромает реализация этого всего,
Хромает ИИ мобов\Нпс,
Визуальные эффекты\графика одновременно и красивые и ужасная
Редактор персонажа с интересно механикой но уродливыми лицами
Ну и конечно же оптимизация она просто ужас

Вообщем как по мне игре не хватает Мощного патча посвященного оптимизация и шлефоке игры в целом,
Потому что игра выглядит как Деревянная Телега в которую пытаются загрузить 10 тонн камня, контент завозят и завозят но оптимизировать это никто не хочет.

Honestly, game deserved way more recognition. It’s a top-tier visually, has deep crafting, compelling setting, and a story that’s actually good, which is rare for genre. Early Access was rough, but at this point game is polished and balanced.

Can't recommend enough, especially for solo players.

Vamos lá, joguei praticamente 70 horas e antes de avaliar preciso comentar algumas coisas sobre esse jogo. Ele tem muitas boas ideias, mas que esbarram em muitos problemas e estragam a experiência do jogador.

Primeiro, o desempenho é ruim, lembro que joguei assim que lançou e era péssimo, melhorou hoje em dia, mas continua ruim, é praticamente obrigatório o uso de upscaling e de framegen pra se ter uma experiência minimamente aceitável, o jogo em si é bonito, mas é um show de blushs borrados, luzes (lumen) bizarras piscando o tempo todo, a todo momento você fica entre "que cenário lindo" e "que gráfico horripilante" (por conta das muletas da engine). A jogabilidade é ok, mas acho que é mt frenética, talvez fosse mais divertido se fosse um pouco mais lenta, tem hora que dá pra limpar uma wave inteira só clicando feito louco com uma espada.

O ciclo de gameplay é repetitivo e cansativo, são os mesmos minigames de notas musicais, encontrar gliphos e matar bichos do início ao fim. As missões são bem simplórias, confesso que a história não clicou pra mim, mas achei o final bem meh. (pra mim)

A UI do jogo é muito complexa, tem zilhares de itens e muita informação (a tradução ptbr é incompleta, vários itens), o gerenciamento de baús é horripilante no early game, você vai precisar de muitos baús, mas ao menos dá pra craftar direto dos baús (ponto positivo).

O crafting do jogo é um jogo por si só, uma pena que é um jogo extremamente chato e massante. Acho que é o sistema de crafting mais complexo que já vi em um jogo, cada item que você utiliza influencia na qualidade do item final, o que é legal, mas é EXTREMAMENTE massante, são muitas e muitas etapas pra craftar um item, tornando muito chato o processo de fazer um item pra fazer uma etapa de um item, que vira mais uma etapa de um item e cada item tem um status, mas no fim você já até esqueceu qual o item que você ia craftar. A ideia é muito boa, mas achei que ficou muito complexo, deixando muito massante.

São muitas mesas de traballho e melhorias e digo isso no sentido ruim, pq o tempo todo você tem que ficar modificando as mesas pra "criar uma arma ranged" e depois modificar tudo pra "criar uma melee" pq cada melhoria aumenta determinados status... cansativo... e fora que maioria das mesas não tem personalidade, parecem todas iguais, e muitas delas não tem nem animações ou indicação visual apropriada pra mostrar que o item está pronto.

A parte de construção de bases é "ok mas meio fraca", você não tem liberdade pra misturar os estilos, as escadas não encaixam, é como se fossem pra ser usadas em apenas 1 tema, funciona, mas é bem fraco. E AS PORTAS QUANDO FECHAM NÃO TEM ANIMAÇÃO, achei muito paia isso.

O grande ponto positivo pra mim é a identidade visual do mundo do jogo, o estilo artístico é muito bonito, porém é impossível criar um personagem masculino minamente aceitável kkkk são todos feios d+ kkkk (mas isso é besteira pra mim)

Enfim, eu até recomendo o jogo, foi legal as primeiras 30 horas, mas depois fica EXTREMAMENTE massante e cansativo, as últimas 30 horas de jogo eu ja tava rushando e tava nem aí mais pra craftar os itens mais elaborados, só queria terminar logo e terminei deixando a história de lado por conta disso.

Como já tava rodando muito ruim no PC, tive nem o trabalho de tentar rodar no steam deck, deveria estar pavoroso kkkk, mas fica aqui a observação.

No geral, é um jogo fraco mas que tem muitas ideias boas (e olhe que nem me aprofundei nas cartas que você pode usar pra alterar características das dimensões, pq no fim das contas são todas bem parecidas e com o mesmo loop de gameplay) mal usei isso no meu save, usei apenas pra testar. Mas curti muito os bosses, são divertidos e até que variáveis.

Pareceu que só falei mal do jogo (e realmente foi isso kkk) mas até que recomendo se tiver em uma promoção boa e você estiver sem nada pra jogar, vale a pena a experiencia, e se tiver paciencia e MUITO tempo talvez você aproveite mais esse jogo do que eu.

An absolute disappointment. A few years back I saw the trailer for Nightingale and it looked pretty awesome; Victorians vs. the fey, magic and early-modern firearms! Meanwhile a friend kept talking about and streaming Enshrouded which looked neat, a-ok generic-ish fantasy game.

I have barely 30 hours in Nightingale and almost 170 in Enshrouded. Nightingale does not hold my interest because it's not a good game, where as Enshrouded is great, and I will be replaying it once it releases as a completed game. I bought a copy of Nightingale for said friend when it was 80% off, and we barely put in another 3 hours and just entered island 2 before they lost interest.

80% for an early access game is an obvious death sentence. There are much better and older games that don't reach 80% deep sales--this game technically isn't even "out" yet!

Our open world is a series of small, single-biome islands, not exactly thrilling even if there's neat architecture and visuals around. So a couple of islands of quests, survival, and then we go to an MMO hub to get daily quests to farm currency to buy recipes? Just, no thank you.

I think the crafting system is neat on paper, I prefer more in-depth crafting systems than "metal + metal + stick = sword". But being ranged damage-spec doesn't seem to make that much of a difference over someone who isn't, with a lot more complexity to get there.

Guess I'm not getting off the second island. I paid way too much for this game and even at $6 my friends aren't sold on farting around more. I suppose there could be a mother of a 1.0 release that really pulls this all together but I'm not counting on it.

It's not a tough game, which is fine. The crafting is really easy to manage, and interesting. The building is actually above average, with the ability to place unfinished walls and structures you can then fill in all at once.

But man.. whoever thought hunting for runes on walls and pillars was a fun way to completely kill the games momentum, needs to be thrown, naked, into a portal to Ubisoft's hiring office.

Realmwalkers! What a shame... what a real, real shame. This game had my friends and I so excited for such a fresh and unique survival game, but boy-oh-boy how it did not live up to expectations. Somewhat funnily enough, the game was BETTER when it was first released years ago in the early stages. From what I can tell from reading up online, the change in hands at the top has been the core cause of this game's demise. Such a waste of incredible potential.

In short: not worth it. Unless you want to feel sad... then go for it.

Прошел основной сюжет почти до конца и так и не понял, а где тут игра?
Да, графон шикарен, можно часами обустраивать хату и любоваться как тени викторианских вензелей играют на стенах, но это не игровой процесс, это просто симуляция обустройства жилья.
А игры самой тут похоже и нет. Миры заполнены одинаковыми примитивнейшими точками интереса, которые видимо создавались для процедурной генерации. Но генерацию так и не реализовали как я понял в результате. Ресурсов достаточно много, но 99% из них в результате просто занимают сундуки в виде бесполезного балласта. Точек интереса много, но в них нет никакого смысла. Квесты есть, но настолько плоские и с такими бестолковыми наградами, что лучше бы их не было. Есть много разноуровневых материалов, шмоток, инструментов, декора и прочего, но кроме чисто декоративной роли смысла в разнообразии никакого нет. Есть только небольшая разница в характеристиках, на на практике это кроме искусственного растягивания геймплея ничего не дает.
Сюжет прост, но искусственно раздут до невероятных размеров пустой бессмысленной мишурой, отчего похож на сгенерированную ИИ билиберду, которая настолько кривая и душная, что привычку перематывать диалоги развивает уже в первые часы игры.
Говорят вроде разработчика купили китайцы, может поэтому игра многими чертами мне напомнила последние игры funcom и неприятную историю с известным варфреймом (их обоих кстати тоже купил китайский tencent).
В общем на данный момент как симулятор обустройства хаты - вполне себе очень даже неплохо. Но как игра - чет никак вообще как то.

I'm playing solo, I like survival building PVE games and Nightingale does these three things quite well. Combat feels balanced. You need to constantly improve your gear to keep up against the creatures. Your companions can gather resources for you at your base, one of them will accompany you and carry part of the loot.
Building blocks are numerous, and because they improve the gear you need to produce, they are also useful.
You may change the aspect of a whole map playing cards, that's a nice thing.
The game has been absolutely stable and I found no glitches until now.
The UI needs more refinement, but inventory management is easily done.
Quest are lackluster because NPCs look all similar. You don't feel you are doing some work for someone or some reason. Also POIs feel copy-paste. Each maps ends with a boss fight. These feel underwhelming because of the lack of proper animation of the bosses. The progression and discovery of new items feels quite rewarding.
The world is visually excellent.
All in all, this is a nice game, worth many hours of exploration and building.

Online multiplayer is pretty much non existent at this point. It's a genuinely moronic and completely unnecessary level of faff to set it up using third party guides or paid servers and even that seems unreliable. They don't explain any of that in game though and have left in obsolete menu functions so that you'll left be confused on why it doesn't work until you look online for the issue and are prompted to rent a server. There are offline single player games with better co-op support.

I bought this early access game on sale for like $6 to play solo, and despite some subpar design choices I'm pretty blown away by the amount and quality of game that's in here.

Pros:
- the graphics in this game are way too high quality.
- the whole gaslamp fantasy/the fae courts premise is a nice mix of familiar and unusual.
- despite the mythological basis in wordplay, you don't usually to have to read a lot of belabored prose for no reason
- getting back build materials when you delete stuff and keeping your stuff when you die is nice. Dying is still annoying enough.
- i think the ways you can recruit NPCs are nice, even if the dialog is identical every time and the tasks you complete are very similar.
- the fast travel and inventory management mechanics feel pretty fair
- I'm not a stickler for combat mechanics but I feel like these have a good balance of difficulty and a variety of strategies.
- every material can be recycled into basic "essence" which you use to repair items and unlock the skill tree. You get higher tiers of essence from harvesting materials, killing baddies, and doing quests in more difficult Realms. This has felt like a pretty balanced system so far. There's only three tiers of essence and successive levels of the skill tree seem to be blocked by plot events not essence types, but I haven't progressed enough to say whether that still feels good.

Cons:
- the build system has one pretty serious flaw but is otherwise annoying in standard ways: it is pretty inflexible with block placements, furniture placements are finicky, and it's way too easy to autobuild stuff with rare materials and have no way of knowing that you've done so, but the real kicker is that in order to delete a series of objects, you have to point your cursor at the first object, open the build menu, hold X for 2 seconds, close the build menu, point your cursor at the next object, and repeat. You cannot move or look around with the build menu open and of course, there's no highlighting of what object you're deleting, though you do get all your materials back so you can just rebuild something if you delete it by accident. For a style of game that partially hinges on getting better and better tiers of materials and blueprints, you'd think they'd make it easier to rebuild your base using your new stuff. Sometimes if you can't build something in a certain spot, it will show up red, but often it will not show up at all. In theory you can turn off block snapping, but if you want to have a base with blocks built at two different angles you have to do silly workarounds.
- climbing stuff is buggy and annoying, and also kinda mandatory. You can craft climbing picks, but good luck getting your character to actually use them. You will climb up a steep slope, reach some sort of ledge that causes your character to stop climbing and stand up, and fall all the way back down the slope without being able to catch yourself and start climbing again. You can right click to shoot them into a surface and yoink yourself up, which works kinda well, but you always let go once you've yeeted yourself, and you have no way to engage the climbing picks again except for getting *extremely* lucky or trying to shoot them onto something again. If you shoot them right below a ledge, 30% of the time your character will do a little ledge catching and climbing over animation, (i think i've discovered it relates mostly to how shallow the angle is that you're firing at) but you do not ever get to yoink yourself up to your picks and continue climbing normally from that point.
- there's no hotkey to automatically add everything of the same type to a storage container, you have to open every box, click "add equivalent" and then close it.
- this might be a skill issue or the fact that "aim in first person" is marked beta, but right clicking to aim with a rifle seems not to work well/at all, and I can't tell why. I feel like a bigger visual of where my bullet actually hits something, or maybe an audio indicator if I'm too far away, would help a lot. I just snipe things with my revolver.
- If you try to fire when you're out of ammo you seem to sometimes automatically reload one single bullet, which is confusing and time consuming with a revolver. If they want you to press R that bad, they should just make the usual sad little clicking noise.
- minor item bugs: tea is bugged to take up a planter box but never actually grow, and one of the the tier 3 sewing augments (mangling rack? or something?) seems not to work at all.
- other reviewers have pointed out that the multiplayer implementation is pretty inconvenient for this style of game, but I haven't tried it.

Other considerations:
- There's a *lot* of mechanical complexity in the crafting. Every base material has specific stats, and combining materials often combines and stacks those stats. (for equippable items; structures do not appear to be affected by their materials.) Also, there are augments you can build that have various effects on various crafting tables, and depending on what you're crafting you might want different augments. I found this a little overwhelming, but it seems like doing some kind of vague optimization every couple of Realms is good enough to keep you progressing, so it's not like you have to perfectly optimize your equipment with your limited rare materials or figure out exactly why your crafting bench won't recognize your specific set of augments.
- This also affects items' appearance--every material has an associated texture, which will be applied to the corresponding part of the item's model. For clothing, roughly 50% of the materials are some kind of bizarre neon leopard print or metallic green leather or something, so your super optimized outfit will look absolutely bonkers. You can eventually apply glamours to objects in order to pretend you made them out of different materials than you did, but it's not super clear how it works (do you have to currently have the item in your inventory to apply it? does it use the material up? idk but it's fine)
- there are also charms and enchantments you can apply to items to boost their stats or give them a specific advantage. It's not clear whether you have to be holding an item for these buffs to apply or if you can just equip them but whatever.
- you also attach magic spells to tools in order to e.g. cast fireball while holding your hunting knife. Higher level items have more slots for magic, guns don't have any.
- you pretty quickly reach the point where you can craft like 7 types of ranged weapons.
- because there's so much crafting complexity and you can find anything in a chest/out in the world, it's easy to get your inventory taken up by carrying around multiple forms of the same semiprecious material, but the game does make some attempts to mitigate this--you can recruit a companion who also has an inventory (and seems never to become overburdened) and eventually craft a type of interdimensional box that shares an inventory with every such box in every Realm.
- this can also affect the storage situation in your base, though you can unlock bigger storage too.
- for every storage container, you can designate whether its contents can be used for crafting, building, or neither
- you can also allow or disallow your companion NPC from building stuff for you, but if you're using their inventory to store rare materials, maybe don't. They can also harvest ore/wood and pick up any materials you leave on the ground.
- you can access procedurally generated temporary Realms as well as the plot ones, and you can apply one of many magical effects to those Realms depending on your goals.
