So here's my take on Cendric after my first playthrough.

Short Version:

Overall 8.5/10

Playthrough about 10 hours. Up to 20 if you go for all side Quests, Books , ect.


Pro
- No gamebreaking bugs on my playthrough
- good variety of puzzles
- magic system with upgradable spells
- Lot of diffrent music tracks
- some fun refrences
- Variety of Swissgerman dialects is amazing (only counts if you play it on swiss german)

Cons
- Some puzzles need to be reseted (if you broke wrong blocks)
- Autotargeting can be annoying at times ( you could turn it off)

Text Version:

So Cendric presented itself as a solid Platformer. There are a lot of diffrent puzzles and there is a fluid story through the game. There is a Questmarker system altough not needed if you read the Questtexts (you can turn it off). It's a metroidvania style game. There are enough Teleports so you don't waste much times on backtracking. At the start I destroyed some blocks that would have been needed to solve a puzzle, it took me some time to realize that I actually failed it already. Since you can press "b" and go back to checkpoint it's not that bad, but took me some time to figure out. There is a nice System with upgradable Spells, Buffs , Armor , Trinkets. They all have a nice flavour text and a lot of diffrent stats. It's not really needed to equip the best gear possible, but it's quite nice to tank some firerat shoots with fireresistance armor. There are some puzzles where I had to think quit a bit , wich is a positive for me. The music helped a lot with atmosphere, especially on bossifghts. I especially had a blast playing it on swiss german with all diffrent dialects, for that alone I would rate it 10/10 (for Swiss People ;)) since you most likely won't find another game like this.


Final Advice (if you wanna buy the game) :

- Use f5 frequently to quicksave
- Use f9 to Quickload
- Use B if you failed a puzzle to easy get back to checkpoint
- Jumping Scales with how hard you press the Spacebar
- If you are done with a level you can ESC and Leave Level
