Gamespot: Baroque Review

A fiendishly difficult, randomly generated dungeon crawler that at times can be an incredible work of interactive fiction, and at other times, a muddled mess.

The Good

* An incredible number of weapons and items to find and experiment with
* Very strong and compelling story that tries something different and mostly succeeds.

The Bad

* Extremely inaccessible for anyone but fans devoted to this genre
* Intentionally vague storytelling method is very difficult to get into
* The expressionless, doll-like characters seem awkward in cutscenes
* Atrociously awful camera.
