Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon Review Cons

• Slow performance and chugging at certain parts.
• The opening is good in that it’s a big area, but it’s bad in that it just chucks you in and leaves you to fend for yourself and try and work out how the game world works.
• It can be hard to work out who is an enemy and who is a friend.
• Never sure when the game is saved or when to set up a checkpoint.
• If you aren’t careful, you can soon build up your savings.
• You can easily get overwhelmed by all the quests and side missions.
• The combat can get spammy and mashy.
