1666: Amsterdam; Great Concept, Half-Baked Execution I really wanted to like this game. Honestly, I already did. I played the demo quite a bit before purchasing the full game because I genuinely enjoyed it. The concept, storyline, setting, and overall vibe completely sold me. The demo was definitely clunky, and I noticed things like the weird movement...

Out of sync animations and dialogue, Performance....
The aesthetics and visual direction for the game are great. The fundamentals of the magic here are interesting to me, and I adore witchcraft themes.
