The Tale of Bistun is a story-driven action-adventure game inspired by the famous Persian tragic romance "Khosrow and Shirin". A stone carver with no memory of who he is, must traverse blighted lands to discover his identity and the source of a pleading, strangely familiar whisper.

Honestly, it's a weird game, the story is okish, it plays like a hack'n slash but there is not much else to it. It's also very quick to finish (~2 hours)
Played the demo.
The Tale of Bistun is a storybook that you play. It is fully voiced, even with narration as if it was being read to you. It is slow, but meaningful in its actions. The combat is neither terribly exciting nor challenging but instead serves as an action to drive the character through his story. The level design is interesting with set pieces and obstacles being placed cleverly, even though removing them was always trivial (at least in the short time that I played). The camera is fixed but dynamic, following your character as it zooms in and out or changes angles to avoid terrain. It gives it a very cinematic feel.
Overall I think this game would be very enjoyable to a person who wants a relaxing experience and a tale that feels like a classic, but it was not for me as I was bored of it before the demo was finished.

El amor es un lenguaje universal. Independientemente de sus formas de expresión, en todas las culturas existen historias de amor. En el caso de la mitología, conocemos unas cuantas parejas con mejor o peor desenlace, pero probablemente no conozcamos la trágica historia persa de Cosroes y Shirin, el relato sobre el cual se inspira Black Cube Games para ofrecernos este The Tale of Bistun.
Como en tantas otras obras, nuestro protagonista, Farhad, sufre amnesia, por lo que su única alternativa es seguir hacia adelante en un terreno montañoso en el que irá encontrando una serie de grabados en piedra. Esto junto a diversos seres de la mitología persa irán despertando los recuerdos de Farhad, hasta construir el puzle de su personalidad.
No obstante, lo cierto es que nada de lo que pisemos se parecerá a un camino de rosas, por lo que nos veremos obligados a luchar a partir de un sencillo sistema de combate y, también, a superar una serie de pruebas en la fortaleza del olvido, un escenario donde cobran una mayor importancia los puzles y las revelaciones.
Así, bajo el amplio paraguas del amor, la autoprotección y la mitología persa, The Tale of Bistun es la aventura de un humilde escultor que solo quiere volver a poner su existencia en orden y perseguir cualquier efímera pista, a pesar de los obstáculos que intenten apartarlo del camino correcto.
