Gothic 1 Remake

Gothic 1 Remake

The best RPG in at least 10 years

It's been a loooong time since I've had this much fun playing a video game. It has great exploration, you can kill basically anyone here, there is no hand-holding and in general devs don't insult player's intelligence (so there is no GPS, just some vague direction where we should look or who we should ask to know more, there are also some interesting puzzles here, enemies aren't that easy to beat, especially at the start, etc.). Quests are interesting and can be finished in various ways (same goes for enemies, they can be defeated in various ways too) and in general it's a proper cRPG with a high replayability value. Pros: + There is no hand-holding here, you can kill basically anyone, there are day-night cycles and the weather changes (which is rare in contemporary titles) + Exploration is very rewarding and satisfying, there is no GPS here so we need to look at the map, ask NPCs for directions and listen to what they say (e.g. look for a bridge near a waterfall in the north part of the colony) + We actually go in 3D not 2D (which is rare too these days) so we can actually climb and 2 m wall isn't a barrier we can't overcome (which is often the case, e.g. in Disco Elysium where any adult, healthy man could overcome) and later we can even fly + All quests and locations to explore are gems and you can tell that devs didn't go the quantity way but quality way. + Quests can be finished in various of ways and location can be accessed in a various of ways (e.g. we can lockpick, we can steal a key, we can kill for key, we can find a secret entrance, we can change into a monster/critter and more) + We have "stupid dialogue lines" here like in Fallout, except they are more subtle (e.g. when we're tasked with infiltrating the bandit camp and we mindlessly click on every dialogue option we see and say that we were sent there to spy them the guard will call us stupid and attack us - 10/10 game) + There are some really nice puzzles and secrets here + Alchemy, crafting and inscription are great + The game is highly replayable Cons: - It's still bugged and I recommend you use 1.01 version (definitely not 1.02) - The ending isn't that great (but for 90% of the game I've had 10/10 fun) All in all it's one of the best games I've played, a better version of the 2001 original and I highly recommend it.

Seeds of Chaos

Utter trash of a game

Interesting premise with very poor execution and barely any content. What's worse, the game tries to cater to totally opposite target groups adding lots of homosexual content that's often hard to ignore. Thanks to that we're getting very few scenes that would interest either group each update, although even when combined the render count is pathetic. The artwork is nice in general but sex scenes are underwhelming since they comprise of few images only and the gameplay doesn't compensate for that. Ah, yes, the gameplay. It's boring and annoying and the results are random so it encourages to save scum and reload for best results since the exact same path may be our death as well as a road to wealth depending what we will roll. What's maybe the worst though is that the game is one big, slippery slope. It starts good and interesting and then it's just worse and worse. Pros: +Art Cons: - While art is good there's not much of it here and it has fetishes for opposite groups which makes it a game for no one. - Boring and short sex scenes - Gameplay is atrocious and encourages save scumming - With each update it's becoming worse not better

Colony Ship: A Post-Earth Role Playing Game

Best RPG in the last 10 years

Even though it's still in Early Access I can already say that it's one of the best RPGs in the last 10 years, In fact the game is so good that I've bought 5 copies of it (4 on GOG and 1 on Steam). The combat is superb, offers tons of tactical options and has proper level of complexity and difficulty which makes every win very satisfactory. The plot is unique and dialogues are very well written, with no purple prose or filler trivia that no one would read anyway. Exploration is good (although don't expect Gothic level of exploration, it's a different kind of game) and there is certain mystery to the whole ship and its dwellers. Our choices matter a lot here and the dynamic between different factions is exquisitely written and very interesting. The game follows and stores our decisions so we need to choose wisely because working for one organisation might bring wrath of a different organisation on us. All in all I highly recommend it, 10/10, will play again and again and again.

Disco Elysium - The Final Cut

Overrated visual novel

- It's for one play-through only, if you'll play it once you will see almost all relevant content. - Stats don't matter much, we're still role-playing the same cop, doing the same things, using the same tools. With INT 1 we can articulate the same responses as with INT 5 - we can save-scum - contrary to what ZA/UM are advertising this game isn't open world at all, we have invisible walls everywhere and in various forms. We can't walk to the other side of the town until Wednesday, we can't progress unless Kim is with us (even though we can ask the same questions and observe the same things and his presence changes nothing we still can't advance and if we can we die because of plot reasons, e.g. when confronting a certain person that has both me and Kim under control anyway). Another example, we can't talk with "Sunday friend" once we walk out even though we know he's in there (unless he jumped through the window) because it's just a scripted scene. Or we can't play the tape unless Kim is with us. Anyway, in no other game I've felt so restrained. Even not having a flashlight prevents us from advancing in a certain area, we can't hurt ourselves trying to do it or just walk by holding our hand on the wall, developers just didn't give us that option. Writing is very uneven, sometimes it's good, very good at rare occasions, and sometimes it's just atrocious. The world we can explore is very small and with not much exploration and the other part of town that opens up is rather empty, making walking even more tedious (and it is tedious because even running is slow, add to it constant loading and you have a disaster). There aren't that many quests either and although unique, most of them are quite boring. In general gameplay is almost non-existent so if one doesn't appreciate Kurvitz's "sophisticated" humour and writing he definitely won't enjoy the game. Add to all of it political correctness and SJW content and you have a game very much not to my liking.
