I have a mixed feeling about it. Yes, it is still KotOR so it is great. The plot is interesting, many characters are memorable, and evil section is not standard. There are some great moments like dividing your squad into 2 teams. Also the addition of mods for armours and weapons is just great. But then there is this great feeling of being unfinished. There are no romances, and no personal quests, some locations are somehow buggy. And there are also some loop bugs which stops you from progress. Maybe they fixed it with some patch.
Probably best Harebrained Shadowrun game so far. It has really epic story which touches everything what is good in Shadowrun: Corps, Magic, Astral, AI, Cyberdeck, Dragons... Quests are rather short, and not really open, but have some planning in it, so we can do it our way. Companions have interesting design, and come in variety, we can also specialize them for our preferences, as well as take part in loyalty missions. Some of quests are really memorable. Just remember that this is turn based crpg with instanced quests build mostly about tactical combat.
There is something of perfection in KotOR I. Story is typical epic starwars. But the universe magic is just flooding out of screen. Quests are interesting, locations versalite, it is fun how player can aproach game in different ways. The companions are likeable. Game mechanic has some twists to make it interesting, and is easy to manage. There is this wonderfull semi open act II. Just modular design of story is great, when it feels like we have freedom even if everything is on rails, but it still dosnt matter, since story is so appealing. Even graphic is not so bad (considering the age). The only missing things are weapon mods and companion sidequests.
Brilliant game, very complex but in the same time easy to navigate.
This little game is masterpiece. Devs had the idea, and executed it to the end. However game is short, but or me, it just end when gameplay is about to get boring, and story comes to conclusion. Cant blame game to end, when it ends on right time. The gameplay is very fun. Easy to learn. Allows to find your style, either real time action or turn based, or mix of both. Player can setup own favorite attacks, and apply combos with it. Can just play own way. Encounters are hard enought, especially in the end. Beside story mission there are challenges to break routine. One can complain that there is not enought enemies variety, but then game ends before things get boring. Game has story. Which is presented with notes found here and there, and talks with our weapon. Story is open to interpretacion, there is some love, or story of young game dev finding his way in big corporations. Game is beautifull. Preatty background and arena design, stylish cutscenes. Even better soundtrack.
Not sure if this is game enought. More like interactive comics. Player have little to do, only picking dialogue options, some quick time events, and occasional point and click adventure. The setting is very interesting (for me) and characters fun to interact, main 2 (wolf and snow) are easy to like. The story is ok, there is mystery, and dog on trail. The bad thing is that main antagonist is shown to us, not something we learn by ourselves (looking for clues). Graphic, and sounds are ok. The main problem with game is that it seems to be too much independent from player's actions. No matter what you pick you will end with similar events, so it is more about who we want annoy on our way and which leg break. We make a lot of decisions, but i do not think most of them matters. But comic is good.
This game is ok cRPG with turn based tactical combat. Same game type as Shadowrun Dragonfall (same studio). It is visible improvment to earlier (also very good game). The main problem is that it is "next" game, so expectacions could be really high, or good stuff does not have such impact. Good: Good story in Hongkong with cybernetics, cyberspace and a bit of magic. However story is just ok, it is nice, and is entertaining enought to run for it, but it is not groundshaking. Interesting companions, with personality and loyality mission, as well as unique development. Cool thing is that your companions are really strong, not just sidekicks, but as important as pc. Plus companions fight in very unique way. Also they are a different beasts comparing to Dragonfall. The missions are in variety of obectives, some of them are longer and more complicated, which gives time to walk around map and seek for hiden secrets or aproach quest in different way. Some of them have no lethal solution. Customization is improved, especially in remark of cybernetics, some of cyber toys are really cool. Generally there is more interesting stuff to buy. The drawback is that consumables are costly and player cant spend much on them. Game is preatty in own way. Nice background, ok animation, music is good. Bad: Game is not perfect, however it is not drawback. Honest craft, however i dont think it is masterpiece. Main problem is with comparison to Dragonfall. In HonkKonk there is less stunning moments, missions which i would remember (like fighting dragon, apex, hitman cult, doge, literally going to hell) the final boss in HK is cool, but fight is rather easy, also vampire mistress is nice, and plastic face was not why i had expected, but it seems less. Final notes: It took mi less than twent hours with almost everything. However speed run would be more like 8. There is a minicampaig DLC announced.
It is corporation simulator (simplifing), a ver niche game. Good things: Good tutorial. Interesting scenerios. Easy to learn. Bad things: Limited selection of goods. Some of goods are no brainer good to go (beds) others are very hard to pull out (faring, autos/computers). There is no "rest of the world" partner/supplier, so on any map player have limited options to start. Stock market, merging does is not very interesting. It is a shame there is no modern version of such game.
