Relic: The First Guardian ReviewWhen I was a much younger person and a novice carpenter, I built a chair. Relic: The First Guardian is a much better game than my misguided chair was a piece of furniture. In Relic: The First Guardian you can buy protective potions in limited quantities, but they aren’t especially effective. Relic: The First Guardian is not so messy as to be unplayable. But the devil is in the details, and Relic: The First Guardian is bedeviled by issues with balancing, character progression, bugs and some questionable design choices.
