Imagine Earth

unclear dating system

It might be a good game, but I was so confused by the CE notation date before the year, I am unsure what they are trying to say, so I didnt play.

Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire - Obsidian Edition

bad SJW writing+lackluster narratives

There is really an SJW problem with this game and the mediocre writing and downright terrible character development makes it even worse. It's clear the narrative department wanted to be progressive, which is okay and actually fits the world the game takes place in, but the problem is that the quality is so below average that it comes off as pandering. This is why most, if not every single one, of the leaders you meet are strong, independent women. If they're men, be sure you can overthrow and replace them with a strong, independent woman. It's a video game trope that has repeated itself so many times now, that it's become a parody. Character development is even worse, since most of your companions are bisexual and immediately notify you of this, instead of slowly developing a relationship over time. Like most things in PoE2, there's no nuance. Most of the time it feels like you're playing a fan fiction version of a cRPG, which is probably why so many people seem to think it has an SJW problem. supbar writing and especially the lackluster character/companion narratives.

VERY SHORT BELOW AVERAGE SPACE GAME

I like short games. Sometimes when I look back at the 300+ hours in Witcher 3 or a Total War game, I think, man, that may have been a bit much... So I like short games. A run in FTL is great fun for me because I can fit it in one evening. But I won this game in 45 minutes. And that's with spending time getting used to the UI. I realized that new games start automatically on easy so I increased the difficulty to hard. An hour later I had won the game again. Essentially it is a 9 or 10 turn game. It is kinda like the start of a game. See, after you get the ship to Mars, you're thinking: Okay, now the game can really begin... But no, it's just a few still images on the screen and the credits start to roll. So yea, feels like a very easy to program chance for a guy to make a bunch of money by having all the action take place on one screen with next to no animation. Oh yea, did I mention the dice? instead of hiding the dice rolls in the background when you perform an action, rolling the dice is actually the main part of the game. Not very immersive if you ask me... Let's see here, charting a course to mars, Oh wait, let me just roll some dice in the hallway here to see if you die while making repairs to a leak crewmen red shirt. Because the dice are so in your face, you don't really bother to read the messages after a while... the text is just blah blah blah after all, all the matters are the numbers. If I had it to do over again, I would not have bought it.

Dawn of Man

Mhem, kinda like a bad version of AOE 2

I am not very impressed... they had a great idea here, leading a small band at the dawn of mankind, but the way that they interact with the environment really takes you out of the immersion. For example, fairly early on in the game, a woman was walking in the woods and got attacked by a cave lion, but instead of being instantly mauled to death as would happen in reality, there were these corny 2005 animations of her jabbing a spear into the face of this huge lion repeatedly until it just falls over dead. Also, there is no division of labor between man and woman, that is to say, a woman can go hunting woolly mammoths alone while a group of men pick berries... I actually had this happen (as you assign tasks in general, not to specific people) and she came back with a woolly mammoth. This was marketed as a somewhat realistic game based in a historical setting. In is in truth a cartoon representation of this era, a waste of a concept and not a very rewarding experience, indeed a waste of my Friday afternoon and evening. Controls aren't great, trade is completely pointless and the tech tree seems rather arbitrary.

Night in the Woods: Weird Autumn Edition

Game pushes a far-left political agenda

All aspects of these game are overshadowed by heavy-handed assertions of left-wing antifa political idealogy ranging from "pansexuals" to antifa slogans. Regards of the story, the artwork or anything else, for anyone who is right or independent or even a traditional liberal, constantly being lectured to and having a miniority political opinion shoved down your throat really takes you out of the game. I guess the bottomline is that if you are an SJW you will probably like these elements and if you are not a SJW, you will probably not like it and will make it hard to disconnect from work/life and enjoy this game as an escape from the daily grind.

Sam & Max Save the World (2007 Original Version)

THIS GAME DOES NOT RUN ON WINDOWS 10

This game doesn't run on Windows 10 and as far as I can tell, GOG has not addressed this issue or offered a patch to make the game run. I loved the original and am disappointed that GOG would sell a game in this state with no warning or explanation. Before you ask, yes I downloaded DirectX drivers and changed the resolution. Please correct me if I am wrong GOG, but it kinda seems you dropped the ball on this one.

Metro 2033 Redux

Story in the same league as Mass Effect

This game was fun to play, it never felt like work. Every bit of the game felt like it was there for a reason and the story provides motivation to compel the player forward. The story is right up there with Mass Effect 1, the charters are cool, but not as fleshed out as in Mass Effect 2. A somewhat short game (which is great for a former young gamer who is now a grown-up without the ability to fully dedicate my life to beating a given game for weeks on end, I beat it in about a week playing 4-5 hours a day. The story was great, kinda seemed strange at first, but the way that it slowly opens up and tells you more about the state of Moscow after a global nuclear war is well done and really draws the gamer in and helps him forget that its a game. And it makes sense, the different factions are an extreme reflection of today's different political groupings. The fear is real, the flash of of muzzles in the dark subway as red beams of laser sights from your squadmates find their target with a satisfying thud in the side of an enemy and you desperately swing around to be sure there's no monster about to jump out of a hole in the wall and tear you to pieces.

This Is the Police

Missed potential,unrealistic,simplistic

Firstly, the positives: the management of a police force and assignment of officers and detectives to crimes and cases is generally enjoyable. Voice acting is pretty good and music sets the mood well. The Poker was fun. Secondly, the negatives: -Too few animations, way too many still shots with voice-overs (that's like the other 5% of the game) -You literately play 95% of the time looking at a mini-map of the city in your office -The story is so crazy as to be unbelievable: journalists offer you money to kill your own officers (and the game presents it to you as an assignment), serial killers contact you asking for dead bodies, the mayor tells you to fire all black police officers because of pressure from Neo-Nazis. -Sometimes simple choices have HUGE and implausible irreversible effects on gameplay: For example, I decided to try fuel for the patrol cars from an old business partner, which meant a kickback for me and as a result, for the next two weeks until the end of the game, I had to watch 2-3 of my officers die in car crashes every day, making the game almost unplayable. Seriously, what fuel causes cars to crash? -You can sometimes make choices for your officer’s actions on a call, but they are so simple as to be redundant: a) use taser 2) throw a book at them 3) ask them for some drugs. The answer 90% of the time is TASER. The other 10% is mostly SHOOT. -There are points in the game where you are away from the department for health reasons, when you get back all the staff are exhausted and drunk without any real explanation. -The representation of the church in the game is ridiculous. The Bishop heads a drug gang and “blesses” the drugs by bleeding on them… -The save system is not well-implemented. -I THINK there are politics behind the game, but they are done so poorly, I can’t quite tell. It feels less like a simulation of a police department than it does a study in the rather negative stereotypes the far left holds about the police.
