Veilguard would have been better without eyes to see.... or ears to hear.
We're leaving.

Event Horizon are a small Polish team that did Tower of Time and Dark Envoy. Tower of Time was good but Dark Envoy was a mess but not woke. I had hopes for them.
Now apparently they were so proud to be compared to Veilguard that they posted this.
Looks like they added an edit to walk it back after the backlash.
Bros are just trying to get some SEO and reflected light from the dumpster fire that is the Veilguard media circus, cut them some slack.
Tower of Time was good and I remember giving Dark Envoy demo a shot and thinking the writing was refreshingly old school. It's a little off-putting to have a girlboss on the cover but it was a brother-sister deuteragonist duo and I enjoyed the "family before anything" writing, and we all know lefties hate family values.
The Dark Envoy story is ok, definitely not woke but boring and the voice acting and reactions are awkward and clunky. You had important characters die and then have normal dialogue like nothing happened shortly after. It is also missing all the interesting back story that Tower of Time had. Now the big reveal about humans not being native to the world was completely unimportant, I was like who cares?
They also had balancing issues and loads of bugs.
Dark Envoy had potential, the setup was there to make it interesting and thought provoking but failed.
Ironically, even though its a coincidence of name, this was the general reaction of gamers to veilguard.
They're proud because they're a small team that got namedropped alongside some giants of the genre. There's nothing wrong with that.
