This is what Numenera was supposed to be
The game makes me feel like an explorer. It is weird. But it is not weird for weirdness sake. It does not feel fake weird. It just feels like people trying to survive best they can in the world imposed upon them. It feels real ( as in, I actually hesitated really hard over my options in, what i thought was, end of the game ). I will straight up say that I would not have recommended this game to my 16 year old self ( then again, who knows..the writing is good; not Terry Pratchett good, but maybe Douglas Adams? ). The heavy dose of politics, whodunits, weird meta jokes and other teen unfriendly themes is what makes the game attractive to me now. But the story. The story sucks you in. And each time I think I had it figured out, it threw me off with a new piece of conflicting information. The game is now without its flaws. The autosave could be implemented better. There seem to be minor bugs ( re-loaded save may contain results of last event ). Nothing game breaking. Other: At the time I am playing it, achievements don't work, but.. in this game it worked. Maybe there should be an option to just turn them off altogether? The game is by far the nicest game surprise of 2019.
Is this helpful to you?
