Curious Expedition

More Frustrating Than Fun

Don't get me wrong, this is not a "bad" game. It's very pretty, and it seems designed to appeal to a very particular audience. My problem after playing for several hours is how bleak the randomness makes the game. It doesn't feel "curious" and I don't feel like an "explorer." The game is clearly designed to get you back into the action ASAP after you die. When I hit the 'New Game' button again and again, it wasn't because I was having fun, I really wanted to figure out what I was doing "wrong." But you don't have to do anything wrong to fail. And for me, that made this game frustrating, and boring. Too much random, too little strategy. You don't have enough time to recognize your mistakes to correct them. You just have to hope for some better rolls in the next game. Also, I got tired of my dudes eating each other. Cannibalism is funny. But not funny enough to see over and over and over. . .
