Betrayer Review (PC)

At least it looks pretty...  it makes it that much more disappointing that the game itself is so dull.  Completeing the game is simply, mechanically going through a checklist.  Open the map, walk to highlights on the map, repeat until the credits roll.

  Yes, there is some combat in the game, but it feels like it's there as an afterthought to give the player something (anything) to do.  It's not satisfying in any way, and the weapon upgrades, charms, and economy are so rudimentary they might as well not exist.  The story is supposedly your driving factor for progression, but what could/should have been some dark and compelling character exploration is delivered via short, uniformly wooden and stiff text that caused me not to care about any character who inhabited the world.  This makes performing the moral choices the game tasks you with making toward the end (by tedious backtracking, of course) fall so very flat.
