Better than I expected - much better! Very nice point-&-click in a fairytale setting, with witches and dragons and talking animals. I'm very pleased with the story, it was exciting and different. Very good puzzles I must say, even though I had to use a guide for a handful of them, but most of them were fair and interresting and made sense. Really high quality overall on this game! No bugs or any problem at all for me :)
Cute game with an interesting story that will get you hooked. It's a slow game, no action, perfect to relax with. I love the graphics, and the soothing music and ambient sounds. I probably played this for at least 10 hours, so you get a lot of game for the price, as long as you don't speedrun it ;) Lots of dialogue and story, but just a speechbubble worth of text at a time, so it all is very easy to read and follow. Here and there the voice acted storyteller fills in the gaps, and she has the most pleasant voice :) The only thing that made me almost not buying the game after watching some clips on YT was the very loud and annoying sounds the characters make when they speak, but there is a separate sound-slider for that so I turned it down pretty low and it all got much better!
I liked the first half of the story, but then it got a bit too much, and partly very very booring. Game is not very well optimized, there are much prettier games out there that run a lot better. Game is ok, like a very long movie with interactive parts where you explore and look for hotspots to interact with. And a bunch of QTE.
It started out well, easy to follow, interesting. Not too heavy text, easy to follow even if you aren't a native english speaker. But after a few hours I realized that no matter what I did, or what happened in the story, I couldn't see any allegiances or power changing between the factions!? Also, you constantly gain/loose favours to people, but those where nowhere to be seen either. So I started feeling that what I did had no effect, or if it did I couldn't find it anywhere. And there are only like three tabs in your journal to check, so it's not like stuff are hidden in obscure menus or so. Game could use way more explanation of how everything works, specially the stats/factions/favours. Easy things like hoovering over the never changing levels (power/allegiance) to bring up information, or easy things like clicking a person/portrait and giving you information about your relationship. I can for example choose not to pay my servant, and it says she will not like it, but I can't see anything change. Who likes/dislikes me? I have no clue, the game doesn't tell me. Playing this blindly is no fun, and I'm uninstalling after like 4-5 hours.
Very chill game, perfect for couch-gaming with a controller! Playing this with Xbox controller, and I definitely prefer that in a slow game like this. Good for the driving too, with analog input for throttle/steering. Very good controls layout! Don't worry about updates - right now we have 1.7 on GOG, and that corresponds to 1.20 on Steam, so we have the newest official patch in here too! Graphics look great, amazing immersion while out sneaking around in the tall grass. Playing this on a 3060, and at 4k (DLSS) with most settings on highest I get 35-50fps, and that works very well on controller since all movements get so smooth. Performance-patches are in the works so will probably be better in a near future. I've only played it for an hour, trying how it works and runs, but I'll wait for some more patches/content before continuing. Game could use some more work on sound balancing and sound settings, and it would be nice if you could choose different profiles/saveslots without having to delete/move the savefolder manually... Very nice and ambitious hunting game, and it's the only one we have on GOG so it's without competition in here!
Very cute game, perfect to play with your partner! No worries if you only have one controller, it's totally playable with the mouse too :) Challenges are easy enough, but will require some teamwork, and that is what makes it fun. Along the way you can collect coins which let you buy cute/funny outfits for your robots, so you have that as a reward for trying to complete the levels as best as you can. Singleplayer is probably ok too, but coop takes it to the next level!
I'm only like 4 hours into the tutorial (takes hours to learn), but I feel someone has to write something about this nice and affordable little game :) First of all, you can rebind your keys! You can also choose between moving camera with keys, or mousedrag, or enable mouse edge scrolling! This isn't a regular citybuilder, instead it's all about placement. Not like some cheap idle-clicker, but instead more like a puzzle. To be able to place a building, or upgrade an existing one, certain criteria needs to be fulfilled. You might need something within 3 square radius, while not having something else within 5 squares, and also needing four of something else within 6 squares, while at the same time fulfilling some global stats like population or happiness...as well as make sure you have enough production and food and energy to sustain it so it won't abandon right away. There is no money/budget, you can build what you want, but some buildings cost production or wood to build, and then also consumes things like food/energy/laborers. There are five different maps/biomes, as well as different sizes and tweaks of them. While playing a map you will enter a certain ”path”, depending on which of the initial goals you start to work on first, for example wealth/productivity/leisure. To beat that map you must then fulfil that path by fulfilling all goals that come with it (click N to view). So you always have goals to reach – the overall goals for the map, or just the next building/vehicle you want unlocked, or maybe just some personal plan for how you want a certain area to develop. There are loads more, I've just scratched the surface of this, but I like it, and I have a feeling the developer will continue to work on this!
Controls are awful, and the mouse has no acceleration in menus/GUI, so it'll move very fast when you just want to move it a tiny bit. Feels totally awkward. Selecting resolution was a pain, I ihad to "hack" it in the registry - the resolution selector in the game is totally broken. Also the game is letterboxed, with large black borders top/bottom, that you can't deselect. On top of all that there are all these glitches (since everything is seen through cameras) which is very hard on the eyes, and no option to disable those effects either. Everything smells cheap console-port, and this is totally unplayable for me! Sadly I bought it long ago so can't refund, but I bought it very cheap on sale, thank god...
Truly horrifying - I dare say that this is the scariest game ever made! There are (almost) no cheap scripted scares, as in so many other games nowadays - here you are hunted by a AI-driven Xenomorph, searching for you using its senses. So you better stay silent, and out of sight! The sounds are amazing, this game is so extremely immersive, and the sounds of the Xenomorph lurking the vents and corridors are like a nightmare! I wish it had more/better physics, like more objects to interact with or knock over and so on, and better shadows/lighting, but being from 2014 it still looks amazing. Note that this is a slow survivalgame, where you hide, loot, craft, and try to survive while exploring a huge space station. The game is loooong, and you also get all DLC:s so there are a lot of value for the money here. DLC:s are of different cathegories so you'll get quite some variety there.
