Steve Jackson's Sorcery! Review
Steve Jackson's
Sorcery! loves to surprise players and to thwart their expectations about fantasy worlds, creating tension by making sure that the player is always looking for that out-of-place detail or conversation line that will help him decide how to best solve a situation.
The world and its core quest are familiar but also surprising; the combat is simple but offers genuinely great moments, and the spell system is powerful without giving the player a way to avoid the most important challenges.
Sorcery! never gets bogged down in complexity and knows how to use language to enhance the immersion of the player and his desire to know more about the universe he is trying to save.
The experience was created by Inkle and the first and the second books have launched on February 2 on the PC and the Mac, with both of them already out on iOS and Android-powered mobile devices, where a third chapter is also available.
A fourth book, the final one in the series, is expected to launch at the same time on all platforms later in the year and at that point a complete pack featuring all of them might be also revealed.

Score: Excellent
