So, I have to admit that I played the spiritual sequel. Omensight, before I played this game, and I really liked it. So, going into Stories: Path of Destinies here, I was trying to view the game on its own merits rather than the constant comparisons to Omensight. That's almost impossible considering Omensight takes everything this game is trying to do and improves on it in every way. However, even trying to divorce …

i played this game back in 2016 and loved it. guess what? it's still a great game. the combat itself isn't the best but the story, writing and narration is just on another level. it is such a novel and unique way to tell a story and they used it again in Omensight; and thats another great game!

Short and sweet... ...unless hunting for the last two achievements, in which case it'll require around 3x the amount of time plus the patience of a saint as well as an extraordinary tolerance for repetitiveness. An off switch for your brain also wouldn't hurt. The game is fine, but completionists will want to tear their hair out.

A game with a unique style and beautiful narrative, gets destroyed by repetitive gameplay and boring combat. The game could have been so good, but the combat alone turns it into a very average game. The story is so good tho it's worth a playthrough.

If there was a "mixed" option for reviews, I would choose it. The game works as a handful of short stories: you choose the path you take and follow a series of chapters, each one also having choices that lead to different paths, depending on your previous actions. As you reach the end of each story, you may unlock one of a set of Truths about the story, and once you know all of them, you get the options necessary …

Players who liked Stories: The Path of Destinies talk about unique story-telling with branching paths and a narrator; those who didn't talk about repetitive gameplay and combat. Which matters more to you?
Critics, per Wikipedia
Stories: The Path of Destinies received mixed to positive reviews on release. The concept of the game, which combined the nature of action role-playing games with the allure of Choose Your Own Adventure books, was seen initially as a positive, and the gameplay was considered a cross between Bastion and Star Fox. However, critics found that the game's combat system, though considered very fluid similar to the Batman: Arkham Asylum game, to be repetitive with little variation in the types of enemies or the range of moves that Reynardo could complete. Further, because the player must play through the game several times to get the right ending, critics further highlighted the limited range of…

A "maybe" Sometimes you play a game that is bursting with some excellent ideas but frustration mounts when playing it as these ideas end up being half-baked or not fully fleshed out and so what should be at least a fine experience ends up being a letdown and that is the *ahem* story of Stories: The Path of Destinies, A choose-your-own-adventure action-RPG, Stories biggest draw is its story path…

neutral · AI labelView post →Got the game on sale for $6 and even then it probably wasn't worth it. Don't get me wrong, it's a nice fun game, but not worth the price tag. I think I finished the main game within 2 hours, that's about how long it takes to get through the 5 runs it requires to unlock the "good" ending. The big problem, for me, is that there are 26 endings required for achievement completion and the VAST majority of the dialogue can't be skipped. You'd kinda expect this about a story driven game, but after…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Generally enjoyable, with most of the progression systems in the game lasting long enough for the casual playthough (5-10 endings). Worth a try if you already have the game (like me). Unfortunately, obtaining 100% achievements in this game is a slog, and there are questionable design choices in this game that quickly sour the game experience after a while. My playthrough of this game is strictly with keyboard and mouse only, and some aspects may be different from playthoughs done with a…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A good indie RPG. The gimmick is that you have to go through the game 5 times to unlock all the "truths" and then reach the true end. Each run is very short (around an hour) and different from the previous one. Combats start out kinda boring but get better as you unlock abilities. Environments look very nice and the game is generally well polished.

The game looks and feels good, works like a charm, and seemed positively focused on its gameplay and story without much of the fluff that surrounds many other games nowadays. However after having unlocked 3 out of I dunno 20 or so stories in this game that basically sort of revolves around you trialling and erroring your way through different story variations to eventually find the…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →"Stories: The Path of Destinies" is an older game from 2016. It's a venerable 8 years old at the time of this review. It's basically a console ported Furry friendly Choose-Your-Own-Adventure E-book with a really mediocre console top down action brawler stapled to it badly. As always with E-books on Steam, the writing is terrible, if they could write books properly they'd be published authors instead of having to pay $100 to dump console games on Steam. It's a bad console port with a slew…

neutral · AI labelView post →This game doesn’t just tell you a story — it hands you the pen, lets you mess up, and says: "Alright, try again... but smarter this time." At first, it feels like a simple action-RPG: Cool sword combat, smooth movement, talking animals — all wrapped in a fairy-tale world. But then you hit your first “ending” and realize… you’re not done. In fact, you’re barely getting started. The magic of Stories: The Path of Destinies is in the branching narrative. Every choice, every path leads to a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game has a great idea, but the problem is that its either executed badly, fine or good. It felt like there should have been more chapters since most of them end so abruptly and do not get fleshed out at all. The fact that there was also only one choice during the level, only for Lapino's path is disappointing as well, and the final chapter. Also the choices that kill you which put you back all the way at the beginning of the level instead of right before the last fight and/or just could…

Sometimes he can't start running on the first try or does it with a delay if he's close to an interactive object. Why? I don't know. During battles, it literally kills me (but just in the game). The target-assist system always sucks, but if you get punished for targeting the wrong enemy, it makes you suffer because you might not even do it, but you still get punished just because that's how the game…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's ok. For a while it's quite an entertaining action rpg(-ish). However, it does become very repetitive: same encounters over and over again, same sub-story over and over again. There are also some technical glitches: getting stuck in level geometry, items falling through the floor, item-hit-detection doesn't always work (enemy hits do register reliably). Overall, I would say a fun few hours but don't try to complete it. Just stop playing when it gets annoying.

Refining the remaining 20% on the other hand takes 80% of all effort and time invested. Another aspect is burnout. Sure, vibe coding means sped up development, but what I noticed was... I also lost interest in projects much quicker. Unless it directly delivers something I need - e.g. I've built a 3D printer stand for my new Bambu H2C - it's going on the pile of "80% finished crap".

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Stories: The Path of Destinies from Spearhead Games is an action RPG that distinguishes itself less through raw mechanical complexity and more through the way it treats storytelling as something interactive, cyclical, and deliberately fragmented. You step into the role of Reynardo, a roguish fox hero navigating a war against a tyrannical empire, but what unfolds is not a single tale—it’s a tapestry of possibilities shaped by the player’s decisions. The game frames itself almost like a living…
