I played Xulima for some time and it was good but it becomes very grindy when/if you beat the difficulty curve and your party becomes stronger than encountered monsters. Still, a very good game for what it is.
Despite Darth's review I didn't like Blackguards at all. Combat may be good but the setting, dialogs and characters are so dreadfully boring I couldn't force myself to play it. It's like, why even touch it when there's Original Sin, right?

I liked blackguards (and the sequel too). The really disappointing thing abut those games storywise were the obviously rushed endings. Blackguards 2 ending is slightly better about it, but it's a massive waste of a choice & consequence setup (it's actually a lot of choices without consequence). But the ending in 1 dear god, it's that times ten. Here is not so much the quantity of the choices (there are only really two possible endings) but that they're important for closure. Guess what... you get the same half-assed 'ambiguous' sequence whatever you do (this might be a bug though). But these are only the very last 5 minutes.
Resuming, this company has a really bad habit of shortchanging their rpgs ending budget. Memoria has their best ending imo (it's really clever).
