The Thaumaturge Review
Despite a repetitive gameplay loop, The Thaumaturge's mix of demons and magic has created a detective-focused adventure worth visiting more than once.
Right from the beginning, it's easy to see the extensive work and effort that make The Thaumaturge feel like players are stepping back into the 20th century. From the rough-looking, wet, and older-style buildings found in the countryside of the time, to the beginning of 1905 in Warsaw, developer Fool's Theory put a lot of effort into creating a lived-in, gritty, and believable world. That realism juxtaposed with the ethereal nature of the various demons found throughout, and the magic practiced by protagonist Wiktor Szulski creates a new sort of reality that could be almost believable in the real world.
