A brilliant remake of an old gem
Geneforge is such an amazing saga that even minor changes to it may feel blasphemous, and yet... This title is the perfect mix of respecting its predecessor and boldly introducing significant changes. The story and old maps are still the same (with new esthetics), the mechanics however are new and refreshing. Two examples: 1) there is an entire new line of spells specifically dedicated to Guardians (full disclosure: I am a Shaper so haven't tested the new skills); 2) if Spinecores and Pylons were your nemesis in the old games, wait until you see them now... I am also really glad that the creation system has been kept in line with what done in the first remake: if a creation dies no big deal, after all we can shape a duplicate at will (even if you are the kind of shaper that feels bad about it). For those new to the series of to the developer, I give my usual advice: definitely go for it if you like rpgs where your character has a hard time choosing a side, well written dialogues and stories, a well characterized universe, meaningful choices.
