I played it in former times when it came out. At this time it was THE SH*T because of this really nice feature to evolve until NANO Age. I started playing the game again a few days ago and i have to say it didn´t age well. I do not talk about the graphics or the behaviour of the AI. The game was made by the guy who also made Age of Empires earlier. I guess he wanted to do somethink fancy and new. In 2001 it WAS kind of fancy. But if you were looking for a real-time-strategy game just stay with Age of Empires. For all the others who played the game in former times. It was so cool to play the campagne again. So many nostalgic memories came up. I even had to laugh a lot because I didn´t remember how simple some dialogues were. Nevertheless it is a nice game! If you are new into real-time-strategy just dont start with this one :)
I really like the Lovecroft universe. This is why the trailer hook me directly to play the game. I haven´t finished the game yet...maybe i will someday... Pros: - interessting story with enough sidequests - a mix of detective work at scenes and killing ´monsters´ like in resident evil 2 (felt like that for a few moments) - they put a lot of love into details what i like Cons: - to many bugs while playing (i got stuck often in the surrounding for exemple) - i don´t know why but i didn´t manage to master the controls blindly...maybe it is unnatural in comparison to other games (it borders because after several hours of playing the game I stil misclicked for the same function during a stressful moment ingame) At the end it is a nice game but I didn´t catch me to play it regularly because of the cons.
