It’s got some visual polish, but with the steep price point, this 4 hour experience is well below par, and I struggle to recommend even for die hard fans of the genre.

As someone who’s averse to huge challenges in games, I’m not saying I want Where Angels Cry to become impossible, but it would have been nice for the game to show a little bit of life somewhere. Instead, we have a game that looks awful, sounds just as bad, and whose boring gameplay can’t make up for those drawbacks. Even if you go in with fairly low expectations, Where Angels Cry won’t manage to come close to clearing that low bar.

Honestly, for as many good ported games there are, there’s just as many bad – and Where Angels Cry: Tears of the Fallen Collector’s Edition is a perfect example. With achievements/collectibles that can be earned through playing the game casually, eliminating any possible replay incentive, and the elements of an awful story, it is really difficult for me to justify anyone picking this game up. Unless you really like medieval Europe and poorly-made adventure games, there’s no real reason to pick up this game.
