... in the vein of P.K. Dick minus his craziness. In the end I didn't care to find out what realy is in the offing, pehaps it is a bit too long. As much as I was excited at the very beginning, when it came to an ominous conclusion the whole tension of uncovering the truth was somehow gone. Maybe I had just assembled enough pieces of the mystery and the rest was just final credits? It just didn't qork out quite the way it was expected. Storywise it is a quite refined technothriller set in not so distant future when the question what it is like to bew a human and what is the difference between a human nad a machibne the where the boundaries lie becomes all too important. As a game it is something between interactive fiction and an exercise in taking correct shots where the difference between a proper and improper camera angle means you can find the right way to progress the story or not. An adventure game it is not in full technically as puzzles are few and far between which is perhaps good when you like to focus on a story It has decent controls, much better than , for instance, Quantic Dreams games or all those other tank control type ones which I truly detest so the whole affair here is smooth and leaves no gruge. I have a feeling some of you might have a much better experience while watching a properly shot full walkthrough on the net unless you desperately neeed your interactive toolset. But it is good nevertheless, mind you.
To all you good people out there who moan that the game does not work - let me assure you t does. It works on Win7, Win 8.1 - that is what I have tested so far, but I am pretty sure it will work on Win 8.1 and presumably on Win 10 either. First of all it is an advanced flight simulator so it requires a bit - or actually quite a lot - of technical savvy to learn the ropes to fly a Hornet so you should be at least prior to that able to use compatibility mode, set the game .exe file to run in compatibility mode with Win98, disable Display Scaling On High DPI Settings. After that it would be good to know that in a serious flight sim it is at least recommended to use HOTAS and not just a mouse - otherwise a fully interactive virtual Hornet cockpit here will be from clunky to unresponsive here rendering the game unplayable indeed, but only due to a player's inability to build an interface with the game. So if you are after a a sci-fi type of an arcade shooter with no science and lots of fiction I suggest you chose 'Simpleplanes" where even the name is simple. Anyway, great addition of a game hardly available this days anywhere else. You should only perhaps consider adding F-18 Korea/ Precision Strike Fighter and Jane's F/A-18 Hornet so all the bad people out there who are really after a truly rewarding sim which requires seriously learning the ropes have all what's best about simulating high tech modern naval aviation in one easily accessible place like here.
