Testament: The Order of High-Human

Testament: The Order of High Human is a bland, frustrating, and buggy fantasy adventure that would have been a bad four-hour Skyrim knockoff. At 40 hours, it’s hard to bear.

This video game is like a vacation by the sea, but in an average resort with modest food ' you'll fill up, at times you might feel unwell, but you're by the sea and have some leisure time!

The game Testament: The Order of High Human has several strengths, such as its visual design, animation, and puzzles. These aspects are executed beautifully, but then flaws begin to emerge that are hard to overlook. Close-quarters combat with a sword is quite frustrating, and the AI literally does whatever it wants, whenever it wants. It’s definitely worth a try for fans of the genre, but this game certainly deserves some further tweaks.

Testament is the type of game you play to learn what you should not do when you make a game. Everything about this game is either mediocre at best or absolute broken.

Testament: The Order of High Human was a rather ambitious attempt to combine action and puzzle gameplay, but in the end, it has proven to be too ambitious for the developers. The game is long, but unfortunately also bland and repetitive.

Testament: The Order of High Human is just a bit dull, with the game’s combat and puzzling proving repetitive and uninspired throughout. Nothing about the game is awful, but it was rare that I found myself buzzing when facing a challenging encounter or satisfied after solving a drawn-out enigma. It’s just all a bit meh, with nothing about the game feeling interesting enough to make it stand out when compared to all of the other (and far better) first-person fantasy adventures out there.

Every minute I played this game was just a reminder that I still need to play through the updated classic, Metroid Prime Remastered (I’ve just been too busy!). While I simply can’t recommend this game even to the most forgiving fans of the genre it so badly wants to be a part of, if you want to put “metroidvania” and “first-person” together, there really is nothing better than the Metroid Prime series. Go play those instead of this.

With its mind-numbingly tedious combat, clumsy dialogue and a storyline which sounds like it's still an early draft, Testament’s greatest crime is that it severely outstayed its welcome.

Rather than being outright terrible, the problem with Testament is that everything is mediocre to the point of being utterly boring. The ideas are there but it doesn’t quite stick the landing. At least, the game is perfectly playable from start to finish. Definitely not worth the asking price and as it currently stands, not worth your time either. Hopefully, the developer can come up with a more cohesive product the second time around.

Testament: Order of High Human shows the studio has a lot of ambition, but without channelling that energy, the result is this game
