Sorcery! 4 for Negative User Reviews

Weakest in the seriesThe city hub is a nice idea, but removing the request utterly ruins the game. A single misspressed response ruined the entire game for me. Do not reccommend..Version: 1.1.1

An exercise in frustrationI've put in a lot of hours in the Sorcery series , and have enjoyed them. Not so much with this one. Forcing you to redo redo redo and re read text over and over isn't fun. The rewind button prevented that, allowing you to try something different right there if you messed up. They decided to take out the rewind button. If the challenges were more fair , fine; But they are brutal and illogical, forcing you to lose your stamina every time you restart. After many hours of effort, I just deleted the game. This is a character playing all the way from the first Sorcery who was well stocked with stamina, weapons, magical items, rations and gold. I was reduced to nothing, except for magical items. My stamina was down to a paltry 9 when I deleted the game. I didn't enjoy this game. The other reviewers seem to have some kind of a weird cultish reverence. I would like to punch each one in the face. Maybe someone casted the "illusion of worship" spell on them..Version: 1.0.1

Nice but not very friendly for newbiesSo I read online that you don't have to start at Sorcery 1 so I bought 3 & 4 since they were on sale at the time. I had high hopes for this game because I really love reading, novel style games, and choose your own path games but once I started the game, I couldn't really get into it. I actually felt kinda bored, maybe because I didn't really know what I was doing or how to do things, and I'm a huge fantasy fan. I felt there was a steep learning curve(especially spells) and I wish there was more help or a special tutorial for people who've never played this style of game or Sorcery before. I'll probably try again, maybe try to let myself go and just enjoy the ride. One problem I have with this game though is I feel like I have to explore everything and feel punished when I don't but then I feel I might get punished for taking so long. This game has amazing graphics, music, UI, and is a very smooth experience. Never had any issues with crashing or bugs. That's why I give it 3 stars cause it really is a great game but I just don't feel it's beginner friendly or casual friendly. Maybe starting with Sorcery 1 would be better. (If you're new, I really don't recommend getting Sorcery 3 first, I personally found it complicated).Version: 1.1.1

Love this seriesLove the series - couldn't put them down. But this final instalment gets dull when you need to replay the final city again and again. On the third go, I stopped playing for about two months and haven't had the will to pick the game up again. Shame because it's been a brilliantly written and polished series..Version: 1.1.1

So disappointingA terrible finale that betrays the very foundation that made the series great. It is advertised from the very beginning that "no decision is permanent" but that quickly turns out to no longer be the case. I can understand that they were trying to do something interesting but all it did was cause endless frustration that made me quit playing the game. Didn't bother finishing it and uninstalled, choosing to watch a stream instead. Was far more enjoyable than this waste of money..Version: 1.1

Bring the rewind feature back!I agree with another reviewer, make it an option to not have, but don’t make this great series of games into a frustrating ordeal. Please, please bring the rewind function back for this game!.Version: 1.1.1

Why?As other reviewers have pointed out the rewind button has been removed from the end of the game, presumably to punish fans who had been looking forward to an exciting climax of an epic series. The end has been turned into a boring slog of trial and error..Version: 1.0.1

Tedious finaleOh Inkle, you were doing so well! Parts 1-3 were excellent, but your decision to remove the rewind was awful. Having to repeat whole sections of the game with instakill events has just left me bored. What were you thinking?.Version: 1.0.1

Add It BackI loved the sorcery games and finishing this one I'm so glad that they exist however, one of the reasons I liked it was due to its rewind system, for example now it's not letting you rewind anymore but in certain areas (Warning semi-spoiler) After dying I was reduced to an alley at the start of the game rather than letting me rewind to a save point I found, this alone ticked me off as what's the point of saving at that area if your going to screw us anyway. Thus I love the sorcery games but this lost me with that.Version: 1.0.1

WHY?!?!?!I loved this series. LOVED it! Until this one. Removing the rewind function, that the previous entries were built around and that facilitated the joy of exploration and experimentation, was unnecessary and poorly executed. Compensating with a "hard reset" that sends you back to virtually the beginning of the story, and unlike sorcery!2 doesn't let you choose a reset point, forces you into a decision making process of simply "which option lets me NOT die so I don't have to redo the entire story". It's not enjoyable at all. Most in depth reviews point out this "repetition" as a negative, but still give it a good score. Yes it is a quality product, just not fun..Version: 1.1.1

Re-enable the Rewind!Once the game disables the rewind, every move becomes one of extreme trepidation. There are too many unexpected insta-deaths that force you to replay the vast majority of the game over and over again. This forced repetition loses its charm fast. Meanwhile, the now useless rewind button still retains its prominent place on screen, reminding me of how much fun this series used to be....Version: 1.0.1

Not fun without rewind.Punishing repetition. Games are supposed to be fun or at least compelling. Going through the paces over and over again is neither. I’ll read a walkthrough to find out about the possible endings..Version: 1.1.1

Add the rewind again, too many instadeathsIt is understandable that they disabled the rewind but replaying the whole story past a point just because of some silly instadeath is not positive in any way..Version: 1.0.1
