Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon Is Blowing Me Away (First Impressions & Gameplay)
10Hey, welcome to my first impressions video for Tainted Grail! I don't know how firstly these impressions can be considering I have 30+ hours in this game already. But here we are. Feel free to play this video in the background while you do your thing!
Spoiler alert: I really like this game, I have some thoughts about it and I'm kind of trying to sell you on it. There may be a slight hitch to all of this: I don't have a script! Not even some basic cue cards...
It's just ya boy Mac talking from the hip for close to half an hour while occasionally pushing buttons to make sure things were still happening on your screen. Hope you enjoy! And if you're still curious about the game, feel free to drop a question in the comments and I'll try my best to answer.
