This first person puzzler reminds me of Portal on the first sight. You have a gun/glove with which you can manipulate things. Otherwise than in Portal you magnetise objects with two different poles to solve puzzles which is a very interesting concept. Compared with Portal I'd say that the puzzles are a bit more difficult. That's the case, because the puzzleelements aren't too repetitive and therefore the solutions of the puzzles aren't often foreseeable very often. The game doesn't really have a well-told story or highend graphics but that's not really important for a puzzler in my opinion. What is not so good is, that the physics are sometimes a bit wired. That's because the Unreal Engine isn't really the best choice for physics based puzzlers. An other thing is that you can view the sphere of effect when you magnetised an object by pressing F. Sometimes it is very helpfull but sometimes when there are too many objects at a place it becomes confusing. What I also realised is that in the game two of the same poles pull the objects together and two different poles push the objects away from each other. In reality it's the other way round. Nontheless Magrunner is a solid entertaining puzzler which I can recommend if you like physic based puzzlers.
Hi, I preordered Driftmoon on the official site and played this game since the alpha. This was about the time when the Diablo 3 was released. In comparison Driftmoon was more addicting than Diablo 3 which is a AAA production. Yes, you can't compare the graphics but the most imortant thing in my opinion is the gameplay and the story. That are the points in which Driftmoon does it better than Diablo 3. What I mean by that is, that the gameplay of Driftmoon doesn't only consist of stupid enemysmashing. There are clever puzzles and calmer parts, where you only explore the world. It's also possible to come back to a specific place if you forgot something there. The game doesn't take itself too serious. The story is very amusing and poetic. If you finished the main story you have the possibilty to build your own adventure with the editor included with this game. You can also build MODs, without being affraid being banned from a server. You have also the possibilty to share your creation with the community. Some MODs and additional adventures already exist. If you are still not shure if you should buy this, you can go to the official site of Instant Kingdom and try the demo. The difference between buing it here and buing it on the official site is that here the game is 100% DRM-free. On the official and any other site you get a shareware download, which has to be unlocked with a serial key (online connection required). I can only recommend this gem of game.
I really like the game. It is unique and also has a very interesting story, but in my opinion it also has a flaw. You can't kill persons intuitively like in the Hitman series. You only can kill them in one special predefined way. That means thay you have to find specific items which perhaps have to be combined like in a Point & Click Adventure. This wouldn't be so bad, if there weren't only a few hints what to do in the later chapters. So you run for hours through the house, searching for something you dont even know what to search for. In one chapter for example you need a pillbox out of a hidden room. How could I know that? So I had to use a walkthrough.
Hi, I tried JA 2 Wilfire and think it's not as good as the original JA2. There are a few reasons: - It has the same story as the original - The game is harder then JA 2. I my opinion too hard, so you need more luck than skill. - It has a specific resolution which can't be changed. So maybe it doesn't fit to your screen and you have a black boarder on the right side of your screen. On the left side the screen is cut off. - It has no mods because the exe is encrypted. The origial JA2 has many enjoable fanmade mods and the fanmade 1.13 patch which improves the game and adds many new things. So I advise you to buy the original JA2 and install the 1.13 patch.
For me Sim City 2000 is the best Sim City of the series. So I was surprised that I can buy it here, working on new systems. I hope GOG will also release Sim Copter very soon, that I can build citys with Sim City 2000 and fly through them with Sim Copter.
