One of the worst things is when you see potential and promise in something, but it doesn’t reach the heights you know it can. That is probably the best way to describe my experience with Tainted Grail: Fall of Avalon, the dark fantasy open world RPG which uses the King Arthur legend as the basis for the setting and story.

It's been over two years since Questline’s Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon went into Early Access and so much of it has improved over that time. This is a traditional RPG with not only a means of creating a character that best suits your playstyle, but also a story that revolves around every decision and action that's taken. While the game came out at a less than opportune time given the remake of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion was shadow dropped a month prior to its release, Tainted Grail offers a new type of experience that's reminiscent of old...

Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon is a good game and has the potential to be an excellent game with more patches and polish. It could become a very exciting title if the Questline development team eventually adds more depth to character-build mechanics through DLC, item design, or expansions. In its current state, it is a worthwhile experience if you are looking for another open-world RPG with an interesting storyline, lots of interesting areas to explore, and, at times, a spectacular-looking world setting. But don't expect a fully polished and bug-free experience.

Think of one of your favorite games of all time. Chances are, there’s some passionate team of developers out there trying to make their own experience molded after that same shared love for the game. Trouble is, unless you’re a development studio with the same staffing level as Bethesda or Rockstar, you probably won’t be making the next Elder Scrolls or Grand Theft Auto. Polish studio Questline has tried the impossible with their take on spinning an Arthurian tale with the first-person finesse of Bethesda’s signature RPG series. Does Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon deserve a seat at The...

It’s clear that The Fall of Avalon aims for Bethesda-level ambition without the resources to fully back it up. Still, beneath the rough edges lies a rich RPG experience that—when it works—keeps you engaged for hours.

A welcome surprise, Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon really clicked with me. The Euro indie Skyrim that could, Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon might not be as technically sound as other genre efforts, but across its 60-80 hour playtime there's a lot to enjoy here, while its inventive take on Arthurian legends and surprisingly effective writing all add up to make it a compelling prospect for RPG fans everywhere that don't want to wait 89 years for the next mainline Elder Scrolls title to drop.

Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon is an adventure to behold, especially for those who are fans of Oblivion and Skyrim. With endless build variety, a beautiful dark fantasy world, an interesting story, and satisfying combat that feels weighty, this game is a great choice for RPG enthusiasts. While the game can feel like it's still in early access in some ways, specifically with its enemy AI, outdated character models, and a world that can feel too empty in parts, none of these issues take away from what makes Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon so special. It's a project...

At its core, Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon is a first-person, open-world RPG reminiscent of genre classics like The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion and Kingdom Come: Deliverance. It leans heavily into storytelling, exploration, and atmosphere, but it's more classic in its approach in that it trades power fantasies for something a bit more desperate. Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon's world has been designed to ensure players feel vulnerable and exposed, regardless of the progress they've made. It's fairly slow, quite depressing at times, and frequently cruel, and will test even the most battle-hardened RPG veterans. However, despite its...

Awaken Realms came onto the scene not all that long ago with the publication of This War of Mine The Board Game, but since then has been taking the industry by storm with consistently successful releases. The Edge: Dawnfall came out a couple years back, followed by Lords of Hellas and Nemesis, which began arriving at doorsteps earlier this year. Now, Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon is being delivered and after playing through the campaign I can say that backers are in for a real treat.
