ImpulsegamerMay 20254.9/5I'm always keen to dive into an RPG and open RPG's provide a satisfying level of freedom but if the story telling isn't there then interest can fade quickly. Tainted Grail: The Fall Of Avalon doesn't just hold that interest… it keeps piquing it. When you build your world upon an established legend it can be tempting to let the existing elements do all the heavy lifting… here that legend is simply the starting point and helps colour the world, but the new Lore is what really brings it to life! If you are a fan of the Arthurian legend you might well enjoy this furthering of the stories. If you enjoy open world RPG games… then definitely grab a copy!

Try Hard GuidesErik HodgesMay 202510/10Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon delivers a refreshingly dark and engaging RPG experience with a strong narrative, a reimagined take on familiar mechanics, and a world that feels both mythic and original. Fans of classic Bethesda titles who’ve been left cold by Oblivion Remastered should absolutely give this one a shot.

Niche GamerJun 20259/10Being divorced from the Elder Scrolls and being able to do its own thing elevates Tainted Grail. It has more personality than being a generic medieval Tolkien-esque fantasy and combines elements from real-world history and myth to realize its twisted vision.

TheSixthAxisAran SuddiJun 20255/10Tainted Grail: Fall of Avalon has a lot of promise but maybe it just wasn't ready to be released just yet. It needed a bit more time to iron out some major issues like the regular crashes that can be triggered by all sorts.

ShacknewsLexi LuddyMay 20255/10There are things I respect about Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon. Its soundtrack, for one, is uniformly pretty good, and the game’s ambition is undeniable, but I can’t really say I enjoyed much of my time playing it, moment to moment. Occasional striking vistas and questlines can’t make up for a world that feels pretty inauthentic in its representation of a fictionalized version of Celtic culture, and the way you are forced to constantly wander it to complete straightforward missions makes it a space that is hard to enjoy exploring. And while there are interesting roleplaying narrative beats, that is rarely reflected in gameplay that railroads you into one of two playstyles.
