This is an RPG that takes several hours to progress, but there are bugs that can leave you unable to leave the map to move on. The worst part is that it seems to be a roulette but you can run into them since the beginning of Act I.
Great game, recommended specially with the Epic Mod that adds Soviet, NATO and Chinese subs and surface vessels for you to command.
As of the date of this review the game works fine on Windows 10. Good job GOG! Now as for the game itself it is a very nice Tropico game, the multiplayer and coop aspects are fun. The music department is not bad but in my oppinion the music in Tropico 4 was better. Gameplay wise is easy to pick up and quite fun to roleplay being Fidel Castro. Personally I prefer Tropico 4, however, now that the compatibility issues are fixed this game deserves a second chance.
It's a pretty good game with lots of room for improvements and expansion. I think this game has the potential to be one of the best games of the past few years (at least personally). The worldbuilding is incredibly good and you really feel there is more to the city that what you can see and experience. I would love to see more games or expansions dealing with different characters in the same world! I'm playing on a toaster and so far haven't experienced any game breaking issues, only minor bugs and glitches which hopefully will be patched soon. I think most of the really broken stuff is on consoles, which to me is hillarious (I'm not a big console fan). However, I understand people being mad about it. Personally, I would enjoy some additional minigames or leisure time side missions (Kinda like dice poker or Gwent in the Witcher, or golfing/tennis in GTA). If you like immersive sim type games where you can roleplay a little bit and get to know interesting characters I would deffinitely recommend this title on PC!
This is a very fun roguelike that dares to get out of the beaten path and tries to do something new. I like the cheesy 50's sci-fi vibe and it's atmosphere. One huge bonus is the modular way you can build your ship, the game really lets you go to town (within limits) on what your ship design is going to be. To be honest, it has a number of flaws. The gameplay loop can and will become repetitive, and most of the ship modules don't really have anything to do (some side games or interactive objects would have made them feel more lived in). I would have liked for the crew to have a little bit more of personality but then again, since its a rougelike its all procedural so having compelling characters is almost imposible since all of them are also expendable. You can change their names so thats something! So, why the five stars even though this game has those flaws and more? Well, easy, the developers really stepped out of the comfort zone and created a game that to my knowledge is unique. It might not be the best base builder, nor the best space exploration game, and it certainly cant compete with the polished action or visuals of your AAA game. But it is the best game that combines all of these themes into one. I think the result it's pretty solid. If you like this type of games give it a try,. It's more than worth its retail price, but if you are on the fence get it when it goes on sale.
Hellblade is not a bad experience of itself but it is just trying so hard to be artsy and "unique" it falls short and feels super bland. My major painpoints were: - Super narrow over the shoulder view, I never liked that type of camera angle and in this game is so close to the character that it took me a little while to get use to it and not feel motion sickness due to the tiny FOV. - The "permadeath" gimmick as I understand after googling some articles turns out to be a sales pitch by the devs but in all reality doesn't even exist. - The game is boring. It basically boils down to walk around for 10 minutes, do a couple of "puzzles", walk into a suspiciously round area that looks like an arena fight some waves of enemies... rinse and repeat until you fight a boss. This makes the game predictive and repetitive, it doesnt feel like organic exploration and it doesnt feel like intense hack and slash either. - The puzzles are not very good either, they basically consist in moving from one point to another and pressing "E" to focus if you are standing where you should be then congrats! You solved a "puzzle". (Mind you the first few times it was fun, but it gets old really fast). -For some reason there is a photo mode that allows you to take cool pictures if you want to make a collage for your scrapbook or something, I was midly annoyed that we got that instead of an FOV slider. The only positive thing I can say about the game is that I really liked the way they use real life actors and that the cutscenes are seamlessly integrated to the little gameplay there is. Bottom line, Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice is just a boring game with boring mechanics and a kinda interesting story that really doesn't carry the whole game past the second boss... It has nice visuals, environments and aesthetics but that's it. If this game is a piece of art, is one of those you hang on a wall and don't touch it!
