Critic Reviews
DualShockers - Christian Bognar - 8 / 10
It's a project where passion is on full display and I can't wait to see what Questline does next.
Game Rant - Josh Cotts - 8 / 10
Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon delivers a bleak, immersive RPG experience, though its clunky combat and unbalanced gear system hold it back.
Game8 - Michael Gerra-Clarin - 72 / 100
While dark fantasy open-world RPGs are nothing new, Tainted Grail: Fall of Avalon is an ambitious open-world RPG that backs up its comparisons to the greats and is a worthy newcomer in a saturated market.
GamingBolt - Matt Bianucci - 8 / 10
Despite major technical issues, Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon is an exciting "Scrolls-like" that offers a tightly-scoped RPG experience that shows a ton of potential for the franchise and genre.
Hobby Consolas - Miguel Ángel Sánchez - Spanish - 82 / 100
Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon achieves its ambitious goal: to follow in the footsteps of Skyrim and Oblivion, with a game that looks squarely at the classics. Tremendously fun and varied, it offers complete freedom to experience all kinds of adventures in Avalon, and its epic scale is a testament to the hard work of this independent team.
Loot Level Chill - Mick Fraser - 8 / 10
Despite some obvious influences, Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon manages to be an excellent action RPG with an interesting, dark world to explore.
Spaziogames - Italian - 8.5 / 10
While Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon may not shine from a technical standpoint and can feel like a patchwork of successful ideas reassembled in a new way, pulling off such a feat was far from easy. The developers never hid their (notable) sources of inspiration and have instead crafted a love letter to open-world role-playing games, brought to life through a compelling and well-executed dark fantasy atmosphere-one capable of winning over genre enthusiasts and, perhaps, drawing in newcomers as well. It took some time in early access to reach this point, but it was undoubtedly worth the wait.
The Games Machine - Emanuele Feronato - Italian - 8.5 / 10
The developers of Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon call it a love letter to open world RPGs as if the game were just a tribute to the masterpieces of the genre such as Skyrim or Oblivion, when in fact we are dealing with a production with great personality, spectacular from an artistic point of view and with a plot entangled enough to stick us to the monitor for quite some time. The gameplay does not aim to innovate the genre, but it offers everything you could want from a modern role-playing game, reinterpreting the story of King Arthur in a dark key full of compelling combat.
