I have played Wolfenstein 3D as a child, and was thrille to get to play Spear of Destiny now: After playing through the main game as well as the two Mission packs, I can finally tell my thoughts: Spear of Destiny is great, of ofcourse it is not a "histroical" game, as there are robots, zombies and demons, but the game is quite good. When it comes to the Mission packs, it is much of the same - so much that it even is a little unpolished: They originaltes from user's own material and when packed together as an official release (by FormGen, mind you - not id Software), they didn't update the status pages at the end of the level or the boss defeted pages. However all in all it is quite good - good enough to get a 7.3/10
I quite enjoyed Assassin's Creed; the story and the setting of Altaïr is great, and the story of Desmond in present day is an interesting one, however it is a bit annoying that you are pulled out of the gameplay just to go to bed and overhear a conversation. Yes it makes sense storyvise but it is an annoying happening some times. The controls seems pretty good - especially when using a controller (I used an Xbox One controller connected to my PC), there are a general annoyance when jumping and climbing where it sometimes is like Altaïr decides to do something that you did not believe you were doing - this I have also seen in other Assassin's Creed games. Generally it is a great game that I enjoyed both the gameplay, story, controls, graphics - and only had a few annoyances from. But highly recommending this game!
The game is quite alright - but either there is a bug in the game/version - or it was simple GOG Galaxy that twice during the game decided to kick me out of the game in a crash... (might have been GOG Galaxy due to an update), but this made me having to redo some missions - just as the mission was over and was about to make the cut scene - crash, and welcome back to Windows. The current progress is not saved. The game uses point saves, but the save points can't be loaded; if you start a mission you play it through or loose progress; if a mission is over you can stop and start again next time on the next mission in the campaign. This is... actually fine, but a bit annoying when the game crashes. The game is what I like; a first person shooter; you can use various Vietnam War weapons - both American weapons, as well as you can pick up some of the NVA and VC weapons - and you can change firemode on them. As a soldier I am usually training to fire fast and accurate my M16 in the semi-auto mode, which I also do a lot in computer games when I can - and I hit a lot better playing games when using Semi-auto rather than Full-auto/Burst mode. I did use the AK47 quite a lot - and in the start of the game I loved to use the M1 Carbine and the M14. The missions also gets harder throughout the game, which does make it less boring to play - and can really piss you off when you fight the same sequence over and over again! I really love the trivia/quote loading screens, the small videos before each campaign starts, and the pre- and post-mission letters - as well as the condolence letters sent back to the family when you die. An interesting thing that I personally do not see much in games are that you play as a black person where it is not an active choice for you to make.
I remember the fuss there was about this game - but I never tried it: Until now! And I will say that it is great! There are some things I don't like about it such as the fixed save spots; yes this can be both very good so you don't forget to save during progress - but also you can't save in between save spots, making you fight all the way back in case you die (so please - don't die!). It have a good storyline, plenty of action, and lots of tropical beauty!
