The Inquisitor

Playing a medieval church cop hunting a vampire is a great concept, but blurry choices, weak combat, and a ton of handholding keep The Inquisitor from leading a compelling inquisition.

The Inquisitor is a grim yet strangely gripping dark fantasy story, memorable if a little rough around the edges.

An action-adventure set in the medieval inquisition and with a touch of the supernatural has enough potential. It's a shame that the authors didn't use it.

The Inquisitor is a title that could really offer a different experience, especially thanks to a narrative compartment that is out of the chorus and hardly addressed in the videogame landscape. We feel like rewarding this departure from the Polish company's comfort zone, but we can't do the same for the gameplay and the technical compartment, which is really dated and unsatisfactory.

I cannot stress how disappointed I was with The Inquisitor. It’s all due to how much I wanted to love it. Its setting and premise are downright amazing. I loved Königstein and the mysteries haunting it. I wanted to know what would happen next in this crapsack world. Sadly, that required playing the actual game, which ended up being janky, messy, and full of questionable design choices.

The Inquisitor had some real potential to it, an intriguing concept that’s let down by crippling performance issues among many other bugs.

Unlike its peers, The Inquisitor isn’t an instant classic. Instead, this game does enough to make you smile. The blend of mechanics is enjoyable, and the setting is uncomfortable and interesting to explore. Moreover, I liked the seamless transition between realms and the challenging boss encounters. If you then consider the pleasant cinematic and interesting characters, this was a fun game to play. Accordingly, I enjoyed it and I recommend buying it here! Can you solve the Vampire problem? Question the locals, take down the bosses, and survive The Murk.

The Inquisitor is actually often like a car crash that you simply can't look away from. But as you look further, there is always a real sense of wonder at the twists and turns in the story, a fresh setting and fun ideas. The battles are as bumpy as Mordimer is grumpy and the Unworld is full of frustration and yet you still want to keep going. If you are not opposed to the bizarre, you should definitely give the title a chance. Otherwise, let the vengeful Jesus come for you!

Praying in Vain

The Inquisitor is definitely worth your time, with a chilling story, a likable protagonist, intriguing features, and gameplay mechanics. Unfortunately, the issues mentioned earlier knock this game down some excellent points. Nonetheless, the game has just enough to be an enjoyable post-medieval-era experience.
