About
You may like this if you enjoy grim, old-school fantasy adventures with a strong lead, rough violence, and a big sense of myth; Not for you if you want fast dialogue or deeply developed characters, though fans of Excalibur may appreciate the mood.
Pros: epic adventure; strong atmosphere; memorable score | Cons: thin characters; sparse dialogue; uneven pacing
