Review summary

Sorcery! 4 is praised for its engaging story, rich characters, challenging puzzles, and satisfying conclusion to the series. Players enjoy its exploration, multiple endings, and overall design. However, removal of the rewind feature and lack of mid-game saves cause frustration, making some sections feel tedious and repetitive. The Trembling Sickness mechanic is widely disliked for increasing difficulty unfairly. Despite these issues, fans appreciate the game's depth and its place as a standout in the interactive fiction genre.

Pros

Engaging and deep interactive narrative with a rich story and interesting characters.
High replay value due to multiple choices, endings, and exploration possibilities.
Beautifully designed with smooth gameplay and a well-crafted fantasy world.
Challenging puzzles that offer a rewarding discovery experience without rewind feature.
A satisfying conclusion to the Sorcery! series appreciated by fans of the genre.

Cons

Removal of the rewind feature frustrates players causing repetitive tedious gameplay upon mistakes.
Lack of mid-game save points leads to having to replay large segments after dying.
The Trembling Sickness mechanic is seen as overly difficult and detrimental to enjoyment.
Certain puzzles and areas require frequent use of walkthroughs, reducing the feeling of discovery.
The disguise system and some gameplay elements feel thin or underdeveloped compared to previous entries.

2025-10-02	Ut*****	Seriously bugged. I have played through using zed spell multiple times, trying every single option and the goat demon kills me each time. I'm out of any other options other than restarting from the beginning of this chapter. What a waste of time!

Just a great game.
2025-07-18	Ha*****	its old game and developer yet want to make any change. at the very least make some setting for optional difficulty instead of making it a static must to "cannot rewind" feature. It is not playstation 1 era anymore, the plot and everything already perfect from the 1st to 3rd series, why this one make it anticlimatic?

2024-08-09	Aa*****	This one ended up being the most tedious for me with all the repetitions near the ending. I ended up using a walkthrough for the Throben Doors. At first I enjoyed that the rewind feature was taken away, as that made choices feel riskier. But replaying long swaths of an interactive narrative is not enjoyable. Still worth finishing

2024-06-09	To*****	This book is not as fun as the previous 3 too much dying over and over and over again making the game feel more like a grinding and too repetive doing the same things 10x times
