Just completed the game and I'm not sure if I would ever play it again. Inquisitor really shines with its '90s CRPG nostalgia goodness, but delivers a frustrating experience in certain key areas. For TLDR, skip to section below for Final Judgement. The Blessings - Dark and mature storyline. There aren't any jump-scares of course but some of the things the antagonists do/say can really give you the creeps. - …

Inquisitor is the sort of game that I really want to love, but just don't. I have started it up several times, but just get frustrated and end up putting it down every time. It has a major plus in its writing. Seriously, whoever wrote the dialogue in this game should get a medal. The dialogue is huge, detailed, interesting, and responsive. Talking to characters is consistently interesting. There is an engaging …

Good RPG with amazing writing, dialogs are long and interesting and the atmosphere is dark and intriguing. Fighting is in action-rpg style, but exept that it's an old-school cRPG. And the world of Inquisitor is much more realistic than of those AAA games like Mass Effect, Fallout or Dragon Age. There's no such things as sassy gay elves, exaggerated tolerance or artificial gender equality. This game is harsh, cruel …

I just can't understand people saying this is not a good game. From what I've seen in about 50 hours of gameplay time, this game is a hidden masterpiece. More than that, this is the number one most underrated game of all the underrated games I know, and I know many of them. You're an inquisitor, and not just in name. You have a job of actually burning people at the stake in a world of spiritual and moral decadence, …

They do not make games like this! Not even games for Commodor 64, Amiga, IBM 486, nope back then nothing was like this. It's Insane!

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wonder how successful Inquisitor would have been as a game if it had used 28mm scale, so that players had a really big range of minis and bits to work with right from the start. Customization and conversion was such a huge focus of the game, after all.

neutral · AI labelView post →Inquisitor is an excellent game. It has its flaws but it has abundant strengths. There is some truth to elements of the negative reviews -- it's complex, it is difficult, it doesn't have state of the art graphics, it doesn't have redundant randomly generated 'levels' that developers are trying to pass off as a quality world, or randomly generated loot composed of mad-libs descriptions whose creation clearly lacked conscious thought, it doesn't have many of the "features" of modern RPGs, like…

neutral · AI labelView post →RPG elements are interesting and fun - dialogues, quests, story. However, most of the game is just running around killing things and that is no fun. Therefore I don't recommend this game unless you're a great fan of Diablo. Too bad the developers decided to make it mostly hack'n slash, because if there was no combat or just little of it, then it could be a really wonderful game.

I've never made it past the first town in Inquisitor, though I've got incredibly close on my last try: it's brutal combat and need to scoff health potions in ridiculous amounts after every single fight make it at times a grind.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Having mixed feelings towards this game. It's not that it's a bad one. Just not well-made. From the creators of the dark, atmospheric, story-driven albeit a bit clumsy adventure Daemonica comes a dark, atmospheric, story-driven Inquisitor… but the RPG part and the duration made the whole clumsiness part exaggerated. Delve deep into the tedium of 1. pixelhunting! 2. stacking on bottles like a hobo junkie 3. collecting scalps 4. lengthy monotonous conversations 5. reeeeally slow walking 6.…

It's also not an easy game so for those who like some challenge, it won't disappoint. Enjoy, your welcome!
