Not a bad prize, not good games though
For a 3 in 1 bundle, 15 bucks is not a bad prize. That said, I'm not sure if all these games deserves a 5 dollar tag. If any. Let's go through them: Planet's edge- it's a more or less freeform space exploration game. A light RPG, with a moderately well realized gameworld. I played it a couple of times back in the day, but found it rather confusing and dull. It's no Starlight or Star Control. The CRPG addict covered it in crazy detail. Zephyr- a vehicular arena-combat game. You fly all over the place but in a weird, 2,5D engine, where you can't really look up or down. It's frantic, but hard to control and honestly a mess. ADG made a full video on it. Wetlands- of all the three, this one's the one I managed to finish playing through. It's a very standard scifi railshooter in the vein of Microcosm, or even moreso, Cyberia. The cutscenes look brilliant, they have a beautiful, cartoony style, but the gameplay itself is merely fine. Perfectly playable, but you really just grind through it to see the story unfold. I salute GOG for bringing these back, as all three are rather rare games. Noone talks about them anymore and they're really hard to find. Rare doesn't necessarily mean good, though. I'll definitely buy it sometime for nostalgia's sake, but if you haven't encountered any of them before, I don't think you'll find hidden gems here. This pack's mainly for collectors.
