But there were some annoying things that made me angry while playing. In some places if you miss an orb there is no way to return an catch it and there is no solution for that other than restarting the game from the beginning. Also in some cases the camera rotation was confusing when jumping over rocks etc. But generally I liked the design, the story line, songs and Raji reactions in emotional states.… Expand

   Let me start by saying, I really wanted to love this game. I gave it all the chances, repeatedly, and played it all the way through. But Raji:Let me start by saying, I really wanted to love this game. I gave it all the chances, repeatedly, and played it all the way through. But Raji: An Ancient Epic is just not a good game.
   
   Let me get the good out of the way: this game is beautiful. It is narrated beautifully, it look beautiful, and I really really enjoyed learning about the Hindu culture and mythology. That part was magnificent and I will definitely continue exploring that in my free time.
   
   But ultimately, this is a game, and should be judged by gaming properties and criteria. So let's delve in.
   
   Raji: An Ancient Epic is a hack and slash mechanic that's inspired from the likes of God of War and Dark Souls. It pits you in an environment, throws monsters and other creatures at you, supplies you with different weapons and upgrades and wishes you luck.
   It can be argued if Raji manages to do this aspect of the game well. I, personally, do not think so. The controls are janky, and more often than not, the depth perception is so poor that i was hacking at the air while the enemies took potshots at me. In the end, it was easier to just brute force each one of them, making sure i do my "special finishing move" that restores all my health, rinse, repeat. Once you unlock some of the more advanced weapons in the game the fighting becomes a nuisance, and more often than not I breathed exasperatingly while more enemies spawned on the screen, while all I wanted was to listen to more folklore and enjoy the scenery.
   
   Raji also incorporates some puzzle elements, which felt to me were put on there in a failed attempt to lengthen the play time.
   There were three types of puzzles during the gameplay - organizing circles on the floor, organizing circles for a tree, and playing around with cogs.
   Each one of those suffered from a distinct slowness. Why would it take such a long time to move a piece of the puzzle, why do I have to spend so much time rotating circles? Again, this brought me to the brink of frustration, but I kept pushing through, because the game is so beautiful.
   
   And lastly, the controls. In one word: bad. In several more: very very bad.
   The game has some elements of a platformer, which requires you to run and jump. However, due to a distinct lack of depth perception of the game, I ended up more than I care to admit just jumping to my death, mainly because of the weird angles and weird artistic choices the creators have made. Again, the platforming part of the game stood in the way of the game, instead of enhancing it.
   
   I really wanted to love Raji: An Ancient Epic. I gave it all the chances, but this game was frustrating, unnecessarily obtuse and uncomfortable to play.
   I loved the story, the mythology, and all the visuals. Perhaps a graphic novel game-style would have suited this tale a bit more than a hack and slash, and I hope that, should there be a sequel, the developers would learn from their mistakes here, and not just dig in their heels and repeat the same mistakes.
   
   6/10, mainly and primarily because of the story and visuals.… Expand
