Screed Gives Hope
Like any adaptation of a video game, the audience will never fit into any set pattern or standard model. In the case of this one, players can have spent literally their entire waking lives within the open worlds and rooftops before getting coaxed into a theater seat.
This film has a pedigree of excellence that will lure me into buying a ticket, even though it is set in neither the Crusades, Classic Venice nor Dickensian London (those being the only three Screed scenarios that I have lived within) and I can't imagine any currently working critic entering this scenario under similar conditions.
