Senaste recensioner av Killer Rabbit

For anyone who picked up The Flame in the Flood from the Humble Monthly Bundle, I suggest giving it a shot before it gets forgotten and disappears into the black hole of your collection of unplayed and forgotten games. I really liked the ambience of it all. Sailing down the river on the raft was fun, yet stressful at times trying to dodge floating wrecks of cars and other debris. I get the sense that exploration of areas is meant to be quick and that we shouldn't meander around too long. Hunger sets in very quickly. Inventory space is at a premium and can be annoying when trying to craft items and finding out there's no room.

My biggest complaint at the moment was accidentally selecting the raft, leaving the area prematurely, and not being able to return. I had went back to my raft with the intention of moving stuff to the raft storage. Next thing I'm back on my raft. I was annoyed 'cause I left a couple of snares and a couple other items I was going back to retrieve once I had space.

I wasn't looking for this
but now you're in my way
You're hull was holdin', Ripped armor, deck was showin'
Hot fight, cannons was glowin'
Where you think you're going, heretic?

Hey, I just met you
and this is crazy
but here's my tactical cogitator
so evade me, maybe?

Before it came into my life
I missed you so bad
I missed you so bad
I missed you so bad

Before my tactical cogitator came into my life
I missed you so bad
And you should know that
So evade me, maybe?

This game truly stands the test of time!
This game is a labor of love!

"What's for dinner?" my kids asked.
"I'll pick up some pizza," I responded.
"When?" they asked.
"In just one more turn. I promise."

6 hours later the lights are off in the rest of the house. I think they gave up and fed themselves cereal. Or maybe my wife packed them up in the car and left to go to her mother's house. I really don't know. I'll go check after this one more turn. Or maybe after the next one.

(Seriously, who does that? I only made them wait an hour. I'm not that heartless.)

Because the Steam Awards requires an update... a couple thousand turns later, my wife is back home, the kids haven't starved, and I still enjoy playing this game. Civ VI is very deserving of the "Just 5 more minutes" award! If it was up to me, I'd rename it to the "Just 5 more hours" award if I could.

I'm only 12 hours into this game but I am totally loving it.

With the exception of Compa, who I find slightly annoying, the characters I've met so far are awesome. The dialogue, especially Neptune's is funny. It literally makes me laugh out loud at times. The theme is awesome. When you put yourself into the frame of mind that this is a game world, things make a lot more sense and it really fits together. Being able to craft plans to adjust things in the world really works in that it fits with the theme of the game. If you want to increase the difficulty, decrease the difficulty, have alternate items drop in dungeons, it's done by crafting. I really like the disc development where you can customize based upon what chips are added to the disc. Chips are drops in the world that when added to the disc (level requirements and type) will impact the character.

The combat is okay for what it is. I do like the transformation option to shift into the stronger CPU form. I'm not a fan of all of the monster graphics... some of them do look sort of lame. But they are computer / game themed so I can deal with it.

The one dislike I have about the game are some of the voices during the battle. They sound "childish" with things like "ouchy" in a little kid's voice. I think Plutia's is the worst during battle... "what should I do?" Makes her sound helpless. I wish they were more like IF's "who wants to get beaten first?!".

I'm sure there's more I can add, but I need to get back to Gamindustri while I have time to avoid the responsibilities of the real world.

Cities: Skylines is awesome. It reminds me of those summer days playing in the sandbox with tonka trucks and buckets of water!

Imagine my surprise when I discovered there was a game included with this water simulation program!

If you're looking for an epic 4x space strategy game like Endless Space, Galactic Civilizations 1-3, or something else, this is not that game. If you are looking for a game with spreadsheets and lists, this is not that game. If you're looking for a game where you command hundreds of ships divided into multiple fleets, this is not that game. If however you're looking for a lite 4x space strategy game that includes tactical combat and can be played start to finish in a few hours, then this might be worth consideration.

The unique element of this game is how it's focused around your single fleet of ships. In the beginning of the game, the fleet is not very strong. However given enough resources it can grow in size (up to 8 ships) and strength to become a formidable force in the galaxy. You'll be faced with the decision of choosing between engines, shields, armor, and different weapons. Do you continue to upgrade your existing ships or buy more ships to add to the fleet? Do you choose speed over armor? Do you build out your ships for specific roles? What tech do you research to compliment your upgrade strategy? Then there are wonders which further enhance your fleet and can provide huge advantages. You'll also find battle cards which provide bonuses during missions.

Another fun element of the game are the missions. When you visit other planets you'll be faced with missions that range from escorting transport ships while protecting them from pirates, escaping with sympathizers aboard your flagship, defeating waves of attacking ships, and so on. Successfully completing missions will provide influence or other rewards.

As for the complaints about this being a tablet or mobile game, it is true that the options screen is missing some common options available on PC games, the game isn't a true full screen in that the taskbar isn't hidden, and the screen doesn't scroll automagically when the mouse hits the edge. However none of these things have prevented me from playing the game. The map can be moved with either the arrow keys or the left mouse button. The taskbar can be set to auto-hide if it's that distracting (or just deal with it). In regards to price, I do think that PC gamers unfortunately do end up paying a premium over the mobile platforms. This isn't the first game and it won't be the last.

Finally, in regards to expectations, I think people saw Sid Meier's name along with this being set in space and left their expectations unchecked. First, the low price point should have been a major indicator that this wasn't going to be anywhere near the scale of a Civilization game. Second, a Sid Meier games doesn't automatically infer an epic game. The past few years 2K/Firaxis have had smaller Sid Meier titles such as Ace Patrol, Ace Patrol: Pacific Skies, and Civilization Revolutions which were on the mobile platform.

When I took over responsibility of the family estate, I had big dreams. Those dreams were quickly shattered as the first adventurers emerged from the dungeon highly stressed and borderline crazy raving about ungodly abominations. They pleaded not to be sent back in, but I didn't listen. They never came back. Months later, I've come to accept that it's best not to ask names nor look at their faces. I look away, pointing to the pile of cheap torches and shake my head.

They're not coming back... at least the lucky ones don't.

The less unfortunate ones will never be the same.

This is Grimdark.

This is a surprisingly good game. If you're into RPGs and you see it on sale, grab it! A controller is highly recommended!

My one complaint is that I wish there was more combat cause it's a lot of fun. I often want to jump right into another mob and just keep going. Otherwise there's a lot this game gets right. The quick travel is a great feature. I mean, who wants to spend hours just running back and forth. With this, you just click on points of the map and go. So much more to say, but I want to get back to gaming. So stop reading and go buy it!

This is a fantastic game. There's just something about this game that has me hooked.

I love the humor which is just right in that it doesn't try to hard and isn't repetitively obnoxious. It doesn't take too long to level and so far (at 8 hours in) doesn't feel overly grindy. It scratches that JRPG without the terrible grind. I'm also loving the art / feel of this game. The variety of outfits is nice and they also look great. The creatures are cute.
