So based on the trailer, description and screenshots, I thought I was getting a game with a similar gameplay as This War of Mine; a base to build and people to manage, and a few outings for resources. I've been looking forward to it for a long time! I was so ready to play a pandemic Snowpiercer! But it turns out the train is very anecdotal and there's nothing much to manage in it; you actually spend most of your time exploring limited maps with not great level design, terrible combat gameplay, preset looting locations scattered around, all while enduring very basic dialogues with cringe attempts at humour (more like it makes the whole organization you're in look like they're just clowning around and not taking stuff seriously)
I'm sure it could have been a good game if it hadn't lied to me and disguised itself as a super cool concept management game, but now I'm just angry and I never want to see it again.

Picked this game back up for 1.6. It feels like coming home. Either you played other farming games before (excluding hyper-realistic sims of course) and you'll feel right at home, or you haven't and will love discovering all there is to the genre, because Stardew Valley is hand down the game that does it best out there!

The game is really clean, everything works, it's been nicely optimized and it's smooth sailing. The music and graphics are nice. It's pretty good... but it has no personality? No scenario, zero dialog lines, no staff or customer interactions whatsoever, only menus and tutorial with no hint of humour in it - everyone in there is a functionning, lifeless robot. Even the achievements aren't any fun or challenging. It's all very neutral and I actually got bored after a few hours. Not to mention a dozen hours, after unlocking everything, waiting on the last of the research took forever and I was bored out of my mind waiting for days to pass by with absolutely nothing to do. There is no post-game at all. Can't even let the game run by itself as days needs to be finished manually every time.
I can't feel any sort of passion or love from the team who put this out and it's too bad, it would really have made a huge difference for how enjoyable the game is... for that reason, I won't buy the mining one, even though it was right up my alley as I normally love management games

Littéralement un Banished post-apo, exactement aussi bien ficelé et agréable à faire ! J'avais bien aimé et j'ai donc bien aimé Endzone aussi. J'ai joué une soixantaine d'heures pour débloquer tous les succès sans trop galérer.

Un chef-d'œuvre, une masterclass de contenu et d'écriture de personnages, et de choix narratifs ayant un réel impact ! Quand on ne connaît pas le système DnD c'est un peu déroutant au début, mais on comprend quand même le gameplay si on a déjà les codes de jeux vidéo en général.

Okay so if you're only going to take one DLC for Rimworld. Take this one. (and then Ideology but I mean, this one have CHILDREN. also I have no idea how I was surviving so far in my playtroughs without mechs)

Sheltered players like me will feel not only right at home with this second game, but also feel like a lot has been improved and added! It feels like the way it was always meant to be from the start, with more challenge, more to manage- especially on survivors themselves- and of course, a lot more beautiful.

265 hours into this game, I just now realized you can change the game's speed by hitting F1 / F2 / F3.

You know, one of the problems of having played Rimworld inside and out is, you can't ever play any other similar gameplay game without feeling like you're wasting your time. Everything other games do, Rimworld does too, and much better; and they don't do anything that Rimworld doesn't already. The only thing what would make Rimworld perfect is actual graphics...

Après m'être pas mal tâtée (je n'aime pas les animations de ce deuxième opus) j'ai fini par prendre Curious Expedition 2 et je ne regrette pas ! Après une cinquantaine d'heures de jeu, je le maîtrise bien mais j'ai toujours pas l'impression d'en avoir fait le tour (et il me manque plein de succès !!) et il me réserve encore des surprises de temps à autre.
Le pitch des deux jeux c'est qu'on est en 188X et qu'on est un explorateur en quête de nouveaux mondes, où on va donc naviguer d'île en île pour rencontrer les indigènes, trouver des trésors, se défendre contre la faune sauvage, courir après les lieux de campement, et surtout affronter toutes les frictions et problèmes inévitables au sein d'une équipe d'exploration isolée... j'ai rarement fait une partie entière sans changer de compagnons régulièrement contre ma volonté !
Plus on avance, plus on découvre des trucs fantastiques ou surréalistes...
