And all those five star reviews for this turkey turd prove what a bunch of loonies, absolute raving, gibbering loonies, all the "GOG five star nutter brigades" really are. Especially the dumb perv who said "90000 stars". Now five-star loonies, hit the no button, this'll be up to "1 out of 1000 found this helpful within days"! Even though I'm right, and you're all a bunch of raving loonies. Better still, have woke censorship fight your battle. Hit the report button! I'm sure Falran will be round to service you, pronto!
You got it. FAECES!!!!!!! Exactly the same as AB1 and AB2, and just as shite!
Ah, I feel at home again now I've got the chance to use that, my favourite review title! Exactly the same shite as AB1....... and also, well, just as shite.
The recent crop of GOG freebies have suprised me, they've been 3 and 4 star affairs! This is 1-star. Controls stink. Camera control worst of all....... the dark grey scenery strains the eyes and brain, and right at the very start of the game, and 30 minutes of going round and round and round the same few rooms searching for this non-existant keycard, I assumed this was a broken turd from the git-go. Avoid.
I would never have bought this game, I only have it because I caught it when free earlier this year. £7 full price is overpriced IMO, I'd sell this for £3.99 maxiumum. You are "Flint" an anthropomorphic duck (they should have made you Uncel Dolan!) who becomes warden of a reserve that rather reminds me of that DLC for Fallout New Vegas that was set in Utah. There's even a slight post-apocalyptic vibe that this is the world long after humans have gone and animals have developed intelligence. Basically you just explore the park, uncovering the map, visit 12 different campsites across this map, developing and maintaining them, and keep the other wandering anthropomorphic animal campers happy. They provide a few side quests to go on as well. Estimates say 3 - 4 hours of gameplay, well I reckon you can get more than just that out of it, and it's not that "tiny" as many descriptions (even the game's own title screen) say. Everything is simple as, and is an ideal game for youngsters. It's ain't brilliant, but it does harm a certain charm to it, even for adults!
I enjoyed playing this. I liked all the Worms franchise except for maybe "Armageddon", it's 3D levels didn't bond well with the Worms idea and the 180 second long "posturing God worm" video every 60 seconds that you could NOT skip meant you spent 75% of the game just watching that shite. But "Revolution" here is Worms as it should be. It's a bummer online MP has been removed, but you can still hotseat MP. And the AI's uncanny accuracy with grenades is a serious pain, especially when you miss for the 20th time in a row due to either too much, or too little shot power!!!!! Not worth £17.09 full price though. GOG's prices have ROCKETED this past few years, and has some very overpriced titles now. I was lucky enough to get this for free though!!!!!! :D
The hand drawn graphics were indeed good, but I soon had to quit this unfortunately. Right near the start there was a bit which demanded you press space, E and D at the same time, or in sequence....... but it was just beyond my fingers to do so. It says at the start, "controller recommended". Well, it's essential by the looks of it....... So with a controller probably a nice side scroller fighting / platformer. Unfortunately being stuck with keyboard I can't really try it out properly.
Ok, 3.5 stars really (rounded it up as GOG won't let you give half stars), so that's a 7/10. There are a lot of bad reviews for this title, usually bad GOG reviews are more truthful / trustworthy than the 5-star raves, and I usually are over critical in reviews myself. But this was better than I first set myself to expect, once I got into it I was enjoying it. It basically is trying to be a very simplified No Man's Land........ and that's where it does fall flat for many, it's too simple, it's early 1990s level complexity, with 2010 level 3d graphics. Give it a proper chance though, and you may find yourself really getting into it like I did. Full price? Oh dear, HELL NO! £24! FAR TOO HIGH! Wait for a good sale...... which you always do, right? Me? I was one of the lucky ones who caught it when on a free offer! Yes, if I'd spent £24 on this, I'd be probably be giving a 1 or 2-star review here!!!!!
So, it's pointless playing it as a result. It's simply a completely and utterly broken product as of now. It may, or may not get fixed in future updates (if any), but even then it's a simplistic, unnecessarily cartoonish plate of standard bread and butter fare. You've seen it all before and played it all before. On it's own merits, fully working, with saves enabled, it could get as high as 3-star. I got this when it was on a free offer. GOG have been giving out a LOT of such offers this past two years, but they have mostly been utter 1-star dross. Maybe stick to giving decent money off sales for good games instead of filled poobags for free GOG? Or just give out better freebies? Make them less frequent if necessary! Full price of £20 is sheer robbery.
It's stylish for sure, and surreal, maybe too surreal as sometimes it comes across as a big pile of Matrixesqe hooey. But it's a platformer. And a difficult, awkward and frustrating one at that. Such games are not my thing. But if they are yours then go for it. I only acquired it due to it being on a free offer. I'd never pay for a game like this in a million. Especially not £20! It is NOT worth that. It has it's qualities for sure, but they are sadly lost on me. Hardcore platformer fans only need apply.
