Tainted Grail : Fall of Avalon

The gameplay has me hooked.

While I have had some fun in the past with some of the Elder Scrolls
games, first couple of Witcher games, etc., fantasy RPGs are really
not my preferred genre.  However, when a title is this good, none of
that really matters.

I would say this is the best game of this type I've played since
Skyrim.  It is possibly better than Skyrim in a lot of ways, despite
being 3rd person (my preference is for 1st).

What I like:

- Satisfying combat that encourages a tactical approach / interesting
enemies
- Immersive world that creates just the right amount of tension (you
never know what dangers you're going to stumble upon next)
- RPG elements like skills, crafting, inventory etc. are well done so
that they don't feel like a chore
- F5 to quick save (comes in handy because there will be many combat
situations you'll want to rewind and rethink your approach)
- Story doesn't get in the way with tiring cutscenes or any of that
bullshit that's included in so many games as a way to mask lame
gameplay.  Also no signs of woke/DEI bullshit that I've noticed.
- Feels like a PC game and not a console port
- Well optimized / high framerates with great visuals

What I don't like:
- Not all keybinds are mappable in the initial release

I never played the first Tainted Grail game, so I can't compare /
contrast, but I think Questline is onto a winning formula here.
