i waited until End of August 2024 for playing this Game to have a possibility for a patched one. But after about 10 Minutes at begin (catching a Papyrus) using 'Quicktime' Events, I/Tintin got the Papyrus and a Sailor stopped Tintin and the Game also stopped me also with a 'Fatal Error'. And i am not alone with this Error (see other reviews). So it is possible that a human will be 'initiated' and born within 9 month, but it seems that itr was not possible to remove such (and other) error(s) in the same time?
A different kind of open world: Slow to start, but it gets more and more intense. Good connections and flashbacks to Outcast 1.1/Second Contact Natives, towns and nature are/will be connected with your (Cutter Slade's) help. Use of native language and gestures. Language jokes like: Cutter: "Some people would kill for a beach like this." Native: "You know monsters like that?" "Organic" missions: Some Native creations or growing of animals and plants takes time and will be "done" while you are on other missions. Also good playable if you don't know Outcast 1.1 Makes 9/10 for me.
I like this game (5 Stars) but on first Patch *EP1_RL_(67718) it was necessary to replace 'GameServicesGOG.dll' with the 2.0 Version to play without GOG Galaxy. Patch 2.1 now starts with *Phl_(67791) instead of (67718) from above to *0_(68001). So the Game starts but does not recognise the DLC and reinstallation of DLC will not work because of Version difference. In Vienna it takes me now about 6 hours to downlad the DLC and 16 hours for the Game. which was not my expectation when i paused playing the DLC to make an update !!! And on my 2nd Flat in Hungary, i use mobile EU Roaming with 6GB, so neither Download nor GOG Galaxy will usefully (i also use Steam in offline mode and transfer the gamefiles via hdd from Vienna) This means that GoG/Project Red will have massiv problems on quality and/or they betray their Customer and ther own communicated values, which gives a 3 stars subtraction.
This is the final Masterpiece from mimimi.games (they will quit soon*). With this undead pirate setting, maps can flexibly solved with more strange skills, than on the Games before (e.g. Desperados III) and with the Ship as hub and Teammember missions, there will be more possibilities to get their attitudes and backgrounds. * Mimimi co-founders Dominik Abé and Johannes Roth said. "After the release of Shadow Gambit we decided it was the right time to prioritize our well-being and to pull the brakes instead of signing up for another multi-year production cycle."
If you start Gloomhaven without GOG Galaxy running, it will stuck with the initial Loading Screen with running/changing Gametipps and a heavy load on the Graficscard (~ 90% on my 3080Ti for 1440p. I tried it (also started as admin) for more than 1 hour. There should be a hint from GOG on the Shopsite for Glommhaven for this behaviour !
This Game is a prequel, from an engine and stealth perspectivea but with different setting. It has an eastern mystical vibe and a fair save-game system with three quick-saves and also normal saves und represents a little gem (which is avaiable now (12 . Feb. 2022) at about 4€.
This Game is a logical/time sequel to XCOM 2 and is easier with fixed timeline, smaller maps and missions than the "original" XCOM Games, but its a fine game and a good choice to play it before buying/playing the XCOM 1 and 2 Series. You get a good impression of different types of weapons, tactics and skills of different Humans and Aliens and the basics of turn-based tacticals and you can play ally Aliens, which will be helpfully in/because there just enemies in the XCOM Series,
I have played this Game for over 50 hours on June 2021 on Steam and find it is a well written turnbased Game with a beautiful world and story. There where only a few parts, like the gem crafting (should be reworked, because less appreciably and infelcible on/for changes) and 4 or 5 stand up's against multiple attackwaves, which is/was not my thing (may be less waves) but overall it took less than one hour in complete Game. Now on Black Friday with 40% off, this is a must have for all Jrbg Fans.
This is an innovative walkingsimulator with a good Story, sneak and Actionelements. I now don't understand the "Gaming community", if i compare this Game (Time/Money) or Horizon Zero Dawn (Metacritic, stability, Story), with Cyberpunk 2077: This Game about 25% less price than Cyberpunk, but played about 16hours instead of 150hours CP. Horizon Zero Dawn, about the same Metacritic as Cyperpunk 2077, but about 100 crashes within the first 4-5 days, no dialogline selection ever changes the story, same structure of sidequest, ... compared with 3 crashes, a lot of different ways to solve Quests and Dialogs can change the Story. So for me it is not clear, why there is such a shitstorm about CP2077 ?
I started with a female Nomad (german) and solved all sideactivities in Watson and Badlands + all cyberspychos and have seen 6 of 7 ends in about 70 hours (just 60% affinity Silverhand). Next will be a male Corpo (german) which will hate Johnny and all Westbrook activites in about 30 hours planned. And the last will be longer play with Streetkid (english) with the remaining 3 districts, a friend of Johnny, and the secret ending. My wish to a New Game+ will be a start at 0 but all done sideactivities with another colour on map (maybe with this activities named out for recognition). This is for me an extraordinary Game witch i give 6 Stars and minus 1 for a not playable V1.03 on my Win7: I had to switch to my Win 10 Partition for playing with 1 or 2 crashes in 10 hours, until V1.04 (crashfree, and better for me than 1.05 -> language settings lost and noncollected Items in screen). I play on a 8 year Dell T7600 WS: 8 core, 32 GB RAM, and GTX1070 in 1080p ultra (via steamlink) on my HD TV.
