Lots'n'lot'a'bugs. Good thing you got a needle to string them up. Definetly a proper entry in the series.
too shot and too little explanation of what the heck is going on. Puzzle wise it was for the most part (to me at least) a breeze through, graphics are good looking, in 2023 no crashing or lagging of any sort (for me). So,yeah, nice game, but possibly a tad too expensive for what you get?
Industria is a very linear exploration game with some combat involved. It crashed on me once, the save point placements are not evenly spaced and there were some (minor) performance issues. But the story is good and the atmosphere of the game feels nice and oppressive - as it should in a deserted city polulated only with murderous machines. What I personally liked a lot was that if you are in a dark place and you have your flash light off you actually do not see anything. It's not just somewhat dark, it is pitch black, so that the flash light running out of power seriously sucks and hinders you.
YesterMorrow is, as expected, a nice little action platformer with some nice puzzles, solid grafics and fitting music. Gameplay is rather linear, no side missions and you don't have much option to explore. But why the title? (possible rant/whining ahead) While progressing in the game I noticed that I had to be more and more precise with my jumps and the excecution of the abilities in order to just advance through the plot. Which is not nscessarily a bad thing, but for me that ment that I had to redo one "simply on the way puzzle" around 50 times since it required very precise and fast jumps with no margin for error to speak of. Shortly after that came a "lava rising" scenario that requires you at its end to perform a specific action, which is not really well explained or obvious (to me at least). Which in my case ment running up there and then wondering what to do. (for about 2 seconds, then "lava") . Over and over again. But this may all be because of my lack of skill in these kind of games. Final verdict? If you like platforming games where you have to be fast and precise, this game might be yours. If you are someone who's looking for a more casual platformer, better go and look somewhere else.
First things first: I only played about 2 hours and am about to restart the scenario / camapaign for the third time thanks to the steep learning curve you hit at the beginning, But I didn't restart the game because I got defeated. No. First I just wanted to over-optimize, 2nd time was the Windows version of a Out-Of-Memory-Exception. Which is your system utterly dies. 16GB RAM are (apparently) not enough :-/ OK, about the Game: Sound: If you have a surround sound system, rejoice, you'll get cold winds blowing through all your speakers - right into your cozy & warm dwellings, leaving you to shiver in your comfy chairs. (The music and sound effects are fitting for the theme of the game. And there's proper surround support) Grafics: As seen in the screen shots / trailers. Game runs smoothly on my Geforce GTX 760 with everything set to high. Gameplay: From what I can tell you'll need to think ahead in your decisions a lot. And since you don't know yet what'll be important later on... :-)
