In Verbis Virtus
TL;DR:
This game has great atmosphere with an immersive spellcasting system and nonlinear level design that also at times has really clever and hard to figure out puzzles!
Pros:
-
Fun and a really Great way of doing spellcasting that makes the game so much immersive!
-
Also if for some reason you’re having trouble casing some of the spells, make your own voice recognition model (it’s a feature implemented in the game, just go into the options menu).
This actually, for me at least, nullifies the ‘con’ I’d otherwise have since I found it a bit tricky to cast the ‘mark of fire’ spell.

In Verbis Virtus is a terrible game that you probably should not play, but not for half of the reasons I’ve seen in other negative reviews for which I’d like to clarify here.
Bad points that actually were not bad:
Like you, I was lured to this game by the voice command spells. I believe the people saying that this does not work do not have it configured well or do not have a mic. The store page warns you to have a mic, and outside of a very few moments in game I found the voice commands to work very well even when speaking quietly, and I have a voice that mumbles, so that piece impressed me.
