What an odd feeling. We came across the extended gameplay overview for Nightingale and at first glance I thought it looked pretty cool. Thing quickly went downhill. The more I watched the less I liked it. And one question came to the forefront: Who is this game for?

Here’s the Nightingale video. It’s an open world survival game. Cool. The look… very cool! Can’t say enough good things about the art and design of the game. Amazing. Now it starts to devolve into crafting and designing my house… what? That’s a lot of time spent on picking out furniture. And here’s another question: Are we all playing as Mary Poppins? What’s with the umbrella? Now we get to the cards and realms, and I’m checked out. Maybe it’s just me but this seems wildly complex. Nightingale might end up being an incredibly cool game. But I won’t be lining up for the release on Feb. 20th.
