Venetica Reviews

Deck 13’s Venetica is finally getting some mainstream exposure with the addition of a semi-favorable review on IGN that awards the action RPG with a 6.0/10:

If you don’t expect much from it, you’ll have a pretty good time with Venetica. However, without the patience to figure out quests and gameplay elements on your own, you’ll end up incredibly frustrated. If you don’t need a game to hold your hand, or mind that it’s not up to snuff in the graphics or combat departments, you’ll find that questing around Venice is a good time.

And then Diehard GameFAN comes up with a quick set of their own impressions:

So far I’m actually pretty impressed with Venetica. It’s a neat little action RPG that has the better aspects of Morrowind, Demon’s Souls and Untold Legends. I’m really digging it, and it’s pretty fun especially for a budget European game. Of course, I’m only a few hours in and you’ll want to wait for my full review in a few days to see if my first impression holds true. Venetica is available for the PS3, 360 and PC, but from what I’ve seen and heard, you’d do well to go with the PC or PS3 version of the game and steer clear from the 360 version just in case the North American version is as buggy as the UK one is supposed to be.
