Concept: Bring the gameplay of a modern-day shooter to a gritty fantasy setting Graphics: Glitches abound, and most of the environments are obviously recycled throughout the adventure Sound: The banter between Caddoc and E'lara is one of the high points, along with the rumbling, epic score...

Okay, so there are nothing but trashy reviews out there for this game. This game is hands down an excellent game. I am about 3 hours in and I can't stop thinking about the next time I can pick this up again and play! If only I didn't have work today!

A game's success or failure often rests on the little things. An otherwise ordinary game can soar to great heights by nailing the details; conversely, a smattering of small flaws might cause fine ideas to flounder.

Varied mix of melee action and cover-based shooting; Cooperative action leads to fun moments; Good voice acting and soundtrack

Tons of glitches and execution problems; Finishing moves interfere with gameplay; Grubby; unattractive color palette and art design; Useless split-screen mode

This middling co-operative effort from Bethesda never quite rises above its generic and repetitive gameplay.

Has co-operative gameplay; wide variety of items and enemies; Gears-of-War style gameplay will appeal to fans of that style of gameplay; CONS: Poorly written across the board; local co-op is a disaster; no inventory with which to store items; repetitive encounters and challenges

inXile Entertainment had a clear vision with what it wanted to do with Hunted: The Demon's Forge. That vision came up short due to clunky controls, linear gameplay and a very frustrating single player experience.

+ Offers fantastic co-op action; the game is perfect to play with a friend both online and local; + Interesting story with good characters; tie in a the creation mode with the crucible mode and you have a lot of content

Winding back the clock to E3 2010, Bethesda had four games on display: BRINK, Fallout New Vegas, RAGE and a little game called Hunted: The Demon's Forge. Set in a fantasy world, and built for cooperative play, inXile Entertainment's latest effort mixes popular genres blended into one single...

Hunted: The Demon's Forge is a solid, enjoyable slice of fantasy action, but not much more than that, writes Ashton Raze.

A cover-based, hack-and-slash fantasy epic. Seriously it doesn't even make sense, but for some reason it works. Hunted: The Demon's Forge is not going to win over any gamers with its graphics, gameplay or even its story; however, as a mindless weekend hack-and-slash, it's rather enjoyable.

Classic RPG elements that carry over to both game types; Auto-aim makes bow and arrow combat sleek and sexy; A personalized dungeon creator

Massively steep learning curve; Repetitive hacking and slashing; Thick English accents are almost impossible to understand

Despite the strong whiff of sword and sorcery it gives off, Hunted: The Demon's Forge is far more evocative of Epic Games than epic loot. Most of the RPG trappings of this co-op-focused action game are buried deep, allowing you to focus on head shots, cover dashing, and ally-reviving.
