This is really an initial impressions review, as I have only had it a couple of days. This is not that like many other games- it is hard, it is punishing, the graphics are nice, but there is not much action, there is no time pressure- so you know that when you die, you thought about it, and still made the wrong decision. It is sort of a puzzle in the vein of Into the Breach (which I also love) where previous mistakes come back to haunt you, with with a bit of randomness thrown in. Some reviewers have said it is too random, but I think they just don't understand it. There is chance, but just like a game of cards, you can heavily stack the odds in your favour if you know what you are doing. On my first play through (on easy), I made it to week 8 (you need to survive 10 weeks) without any serious risks, but then something threw me and I was gambling to stay alive for the last 2- which seemed a reasonable balance. Do you like complex logic puzzles, choices were there is only bad or worse, spending 5 mins staring at the screen thinking what option is the best risk/reward trade off when things start going south? Then this could be just the game for you. Are you looking for the sort of game where you can recover from mistakes with a bit of skill, or you want a bit of light distraction? Then you may want to look elsewhere. Oh, and where else might you need to eat your friends to keep going for another week?
