So far, it seems a good game. Mechanics are new, but the vibe is there
I do not have many hours in this game so you can take everything with a grain of salt. Pro: The game is text based and all action take place though text prompts, which is good as long as you know what you are getting. The art style is kinda nice and I liked it (drawings, UI, etc.). Your decisions seem to matter and it is not always obvious what is the right thing to do. Contra (rant unlocked): However, as this is a novel-like, i.e. story based game, the story has to be coherent. What destroyed my immersion was forceful character inclusion. For God's sake, if you want to write a good female characters, you need to focus on authenticity, not on perceived power or strength. Power is not going to magically make a character better. If she turns out to be strong, good, but power in and of itself is no virtue to humans, unless used properly. Also, I am pretty tired of this narrative. It is doing no favor to women rights movement to force them into all possible "leadership" positions just to achieve some imaginary cosmic balance. If she fits the role, good, but make it feel that way, it has to be authentic. The only feel I get from this story is that devs do not respect any women other than those that they perceive as successful/powerful. Like what kind of mindset is that? Are other women any less valuable? Cmon devs, you can do better.
Great game. To make sure it runs, run a program called Video Settings, that comes installed with this GOG releases of the Star Wars: Episode I Racer. You do not need any additional external tools. Just run this program before running the game and enjoy the ride!
