Cornesrtone: Teh Song of Tyrim è un gioco divertente, che pur non avendo una idea originale alla base, riesce a scollarsi di dosso ben prestoCornesrtone: Teh Song of Tyrim è un gioco divertente, che pur non avendo una idea originale alla base, riesce a scollarsi di dosso ben presto il titolo di "Zelda-clone". L'avventura del nostro Tyrim scorre senza intoppi, ma anche senza una vera e propria narrazione che la renda perfettamente coerente. Aver aggiunto il crafting, che tanto va di moda, non rappresenta tanto un vezzo, ma una ottima implementazione del gameplay. Purtroppo i combattimenti risultano invece un po' scoordinati, ma nel complesso Cornerstone è un buon gioco, consigliato a tutti coloro che amano i giochi di esplorazione in terza persona e soprattutto che amano scoprire ogni minimo segreto che si cela in essi.

There’s a reason scope management is taught in game design schools. Overflow Games’ underestimation of its own limitations is the source of almost all of the faults in Cornerstone: The Song of Tyrim.

Cornerstone does have its fair share of problems, from camera to control scheme, but it is a lighthearted and whimsical adventure that doesn't overstay its welcome and even provides a laugh or two.

From what I remember the game set out to be Dark Souls meets Windwaker but fails to capture the spirit and feel of either of them. The endearing story, likeable characters and visual feel are its strong points. Janky movement and weak physics are its low points. Combat ends up at a middling average.This game could easily be a 7-8 or a harsh 3-4 depending on who's doing the reviewing and how willing one is to forgive these fresh developers' mistakes. At any rate I found the game enjoyable but with a few faults that held it back.

An artdesign reminiscent of The Wind Waker is not enough to make a mediocre action-adventure interesting. Cornerstone shows a lot of potential as well as ambition, but in the end that is not enough.
