Bog Robot's first game, Sir You are being Hunted, was fun. A lot of fun in fact. But it lacked a cohesive story, or direction in where to go or what to do. This, Big Robot's follow up game improves on Sir by addressing both of these issues. This is a FPS with a mystery to solve. Explore the surface of Tolva while collecting data fragments, acquiring upgrades and returning to search previously inaccessible areas, which lends a light Metroidvania feel to the game. The game that it strongly reminds me of is Terra Nova: Strike Force Centauri, and TN is a game I dearly loved at the time, but in all honesty couldn't stand to play through now given its now hideous graphics! It seems to be a nicely shorter game too, which for someone with limited time and a WoW obsession, means I might actually get to finish a game. Something I rarely do these days! GoG.com oddly are more expensive than other vendors, but either way it's a great purchase and highly recommended.
There have been Sim City games since this, but none have come near it for pure unadulterated focus, simplicity and gameplay. By far and away the best SC game released, and certainly the last one before EA and the Sims games influenced Maxis. Graphics may not look like much, but they're perfect for the job IMO, retro and cool looking, which is a hard combination to find! Get this game! This is the first one that has mustered me to do a review on there, as it's one of my favourite games of all time!
