These sub-quests are technically optional, but the things you find when you complete them are essential to figuring out how to end the plague and fix the world. The swamp at least had the occasional scary, hammer-wielding mutant to spice up the journey through it, but the fortress is packed with generic knights of various stripes, with no real visual or thematic surprises to be had. The latter is just a medieval fantasy fortress, dilapidated and casting a shadow on some sparse forest areas around it. The foggy plague swamp of the former features lots of rope bridges and treehouses that look so alike under the putrid haze it becomes hard to navigate. Two of them, the Sea of Trees and Hermes’ Fortress, are largely bland environments that you’ve probably seen done in other games before (and likely better). Also, the story itself is tried-and-true territory when you get past that opening pitch – the fact that it's based in a conspiracy swirling around magical blood that turns people into monsters doesn’t help Thymesia shake the “ Bloodborne-clone” allegations.Ĭorvus’ memories take place in three locations. This sort of storytelling has lost its shine a bit after being leaned on so heavily in games like this over the past decade, and even ignoring that fatigue Thymesia’s notes aren't written in an especially compelling fashion. This is partially due to there being surprisingly little dialogue and very few NPCs to pry information from, with most of the plot delivered through notes dropped across the maps for you to spend time collecting and deciphering.
