Geneforge 1, the best of its genre
I remember the first time I played it, before this remake. I had a bad PC that couldn't support high quality games. And at one point I was stuck with Geneforge, Avernum and Avadon. All three games (and serie) are worth spending some time in it. But the universe of Geneforge was something unexpected. This is not the usual fantasy world, this is more a science-fantasy universe. You are sent to an old island of your people for I don't recall why exactly (or is it the usual sinking of your boat that made you refugee ?), and you discover one of the research island facility of your kind. One that had gone rogue. While having plenty of possibilities to overcome challenges, you'll find out about your people, what happened in the island and some outsiders that are still on the island. And I was delighted by the way all of it was set. And I had fun dying while playing my "blood thirsty run". Even if I don't own this game, I own the original one, and I didn't hear anything bad coming from the fandom of this game. So, if you don't mind good old graphisms and good old mechanics (because you'll have to adapt to the way games were designed back then), this new good old game will please you.
Is this helpful to you?
