If you're having a difficult time during the game, you may utilize our guides for completing puzzles, collecting items, and finishing quests.

Do Not Select Disable Screen Shake

Screen Shakes are designed to engage players more deeply in the game and therefore part of the immersive experience.

We recommend avoiding the selection of this option for a more immersive gameplay atmosphere.

Set Visible Interactions to On

Visible Interactions help players in recognizing if an element will be available for interaction. The option is best recommended to put a checkmark on as certain elements of the game tend to seamlessly blend into the background.

Uncheck Melee Targeting Assist and Platforming Assist

Melee Targeting Assist and Platforming Assist are designed for players facing challenges in both combat and platforming. If you're a fan of the series, you likely possess a solid understanding of combat and platforming mechanics, making it advisable to deactivate these features.

Nevertheless, if this happens to be your initial experience with the series, feel free to turn these modes on.

Set Aim Assist Strength to Normal

Aim Assist Strength primarily applies to weapons and powers utilizing targeting. Opting for the Normal setting is ideal for a gameplay experience that is realistic and natural.

Disable Auto Unfreeze

Enabling Auto Unfreeze will make you shake off the frost effect automatically without having to press buttons quickly.

Allowing the character to automatically unfreeze may reduce the difficulty of the game. It is best not to keep this checked as to preserve the gameplay's aesthetic.

Choose Warrior Difficulty for Your First Playthrough

Warrior difficulty is the standard difficulty for the game. We suggest utilizing this option for your initial playthrough, and after completing the game, you are free to choose other preferences.

Set the HUD Scale to Normal

You shouln't make your HUD too big as making it this way could use up significant screen space. Therefore, it is best to set it to Normal.

Adjust Calibration

Calibration is a setting for screen brightness. It is best to leave it as is or keep it to 1.0 - 1.2 for optimal brightness.

However, do not hesitate to customize your screen settings as needed for better visibility and comfort.

Set High Contrast Mode to Off

High Contrast Mode is a setting where you can increase contrast between important gameplay elements and the background. This affects the gameplay as it will be easier to notice chests, enemies, and other game elements.

For an unaltered gaming experience, we recommend keeping this feature off, as per the developers' design.

Choose Persian as the Audio Language

Choosing Persian as the audio language enhances cultural authenticity as the game takes place in a creative rendition of ancient Persia.

It is highly recommended to play the game with this option as a more real and immersive feeling to the game can be achieved by having the characters converse in their native language.
