It's disappointing to see a potential GOTY get ruined by overreaching corporate data brokers. Let's hope they walk it back, but I won't hold my breath, nor will I play a game that revokes the ability to play months after release.

Love the game, hate the publisher.

UPDATE (05/06/2024)
Democracy won out. Review reversed and a win for the common good of gaming.

One of my favorite games of the year. It's a fun mix between Battle-Brothers and Mount and Blade and would highly recommend.

Updated review as of 3/3/24:
I've seen a lot of progress made within the community and development of the game that I believe warrants an updated review. This is a wonderful game that deserves the support and continued development. I hope to see the same amount of transparency, accountability, and devotion to the game.

Previous Review: I can't in good conscience give a positive review for a game that remains filled with bugs to support a Dev that threatens a community for resisting predatory pricing practices. I've poured hundreds of hours into all three games and have found the current state of the game to be less than enjoyable. A damn shame.

I have both hated and loved this game. You should buy it.

Me, after buying 4 new games with interesing world-building and exciting stories:
"Ya know, I haven't done a 'Fists Only Midget Bosmer Played Only While Drunk' run through yet"

If you enjoy fantasy and strategy then there is no other game for you. Creative Assembly has managed to bring the world of Warhammer Fantasy to it's full potential. 10/10 would give my consent again.

I just got done playing Investigator and I was genuinely surprised at how well it was made. After purchasing this game from the steam summer sale I had very little to no expectations for it. If you're thinking about buyin the game I'd wait till it was on sale because it's so short and the replayability is close to none.

PROS:
+Ambience: Very few horror games that I've played have been able to evoke a feeling of anxiety and fear like this one had.
+Setting: The game altogether is beautiful, if playing horror games has taught me anything at all its that scares and foreboding music will do nothing if the setting isn't just right. Investigator achieves so much by letting the protagonist explore in multipe places including caves, buildings, tunnels, huts, the wilds, etc.
+Soundtrack: The music fit the story very well and I really enjoyed the few cutscenes where I got to just watch the player and listen to the music.

CONS:
-Short: The game took me only about 2 hours to finish and that was with me taking my time to explore and take screenshorts, etc. I realize there are more parts to come, but I felt it was lacking a little in length.
-Subtitles: The game is voiced in Russian so the developers kindly put subtitles over the voice acting, however the subtitles don't always make coherent sentences and don't make sense. It didn't detract too much from my experience, but still enough to be a hinderance.
-Slow: A few time throughout Investigator you're tasked with either solving a few puzzles or finding miscellanious objects. While this enabled me to explore a little more I found myself getting frustrated at having to do said puzzle/search and ended up rushing through a few parts in frustration.

All in all I'd give it a 7/10 and the ending has given me enough interest to want to keep looking into the game and play a future installment.
