After playing it for 15 hours, the most annoying aspect is the fact that you have a small team but you have to attack bigger teams. Items are boring, like the fact that you can heal only once per level... or throw a grenade only once per level... most of the time had to heal way more times than one, also using grenades was quite rare and this is two dimensions game.

I lost a lot of missions because I don't like to lose operators and also that leveling is incredibly slow. Skill & tactics are irrelevant, most of the time just playing random is easier. Some of the weapons are pretty interesting to use, because the game has no large spaces, considering that all locations are ships... with mostly small rooms.

It's obvious that the developers never played a turn based tactics game before there's one thing missing: reaction or overwatch if you prefer. The idea is that you attack a ship that can have let's say 20 enemies. You have 3 operators in your team, thus 3 attacks. The enemy has 5-20 attacks... vs 3 attacks = the dumbest strategy ever. The only move that can match the number either of enemies or well turrets is called "overwatch" or reaction shot. Each mission can be done either in a "fast" way or a "slow" way. My problem was losing a mission or losing stars because the enemy has way way way way way too many opportunities to shoot me. 3 vs 20 is not winnable in these conditions, but it can be won, just not in this game but in other games with better gameplay.

The robots are irrelevant but one is funny, most weapons could be interesting with a different approach, but the inventory is a nightmare. We use a big ship to move around but all we have is a small inventory. I have no idea what was the idea behind this gameplay design.

One of the boring things to do is just to redo the same mission till you get all the stars... as I said earlier... is has nothing to do with skill or patience or even planning... But again... why do it differently?

I do like the game, I've played it for around 150 hours or more but... after some years still... there isn't a "Complete Edition" to buy. I don't care about "subscriptions" but I don't like the system, I am against it. That's why I vote against buying other titles from Paradox. PC Gaming is an amazing universe full of wonders... why not ♥♥♥♥ on it with "subscriptions"?

This is one of best city building strategy that I have ever played, but with one mention... that is about Mars :P I like the set-up, the whole idea plus most the buildings, also most of the research ideas, plus some stuff that can be added and should be added in the basic game. Now, building stuff is quite awesome, considering you can build a lot of stuff that makes sense. Also a lot of ideas behind it are pretty awesome. Some quests are hard to finish, sometimes you'll lose people and some of the maps are very very hard but also most of the stuff works, with 2 exceptions: storage and how it works and... lowering the land.

Storage is rather one of the most important aspects and here is the 1st major weakness in the design and shows how little experience some have in logistics :P The lowering of the land is a rather boring issue but it has to be done and that's why is the 2nd major problem. One mention... moving resources sucks... Logistics again.

Now to finish the review, I would advice to anyone to play it, it will teach you a lot of stuff about logistics :P Yes it's Mars, but all the ideas behind it except the domes work also in the every other game :P

Some small issues that should had been fixed before the release of the game:
- moving resources, also maintenance and drone hubs + waste.
- Maintenance is quite, but sometimes having a resource in a spot where it is needed... takes time.
- Drone hubs should have 12-15 drones + storage, because that's the best idea on how those drone hubs should work. Probably the developers never played "Transport Tycoon" :P, an old game that had some amazing ideas.
- One small issue that domes never fix... why we can't build a tunnel between domes? Are the domes in space? Even in space one could build a nice tube :P

This is my favorite strategy game where I can build cities... on Mars :P Thanks for releasing it :P

A simple game, with some interesting puzzles and with the most boring puzzle at the end. The story is rather simple, irrelevant. Some puzzles are interesting but most are quite simple. The ending is rather boring and irrelevant.

This is a simple game. Pilot a nice mech with some decent weapons, move slowly but with passion and destroy other... mechs, robots or something in between. The story is simple, the graphics are simple, but shooting is even simpler :P
There are 8 misssions, call it a small campaign story, with 5 missions... where one defends the base. Some 6 hours to finish everything if you're not in a rush. Nothing more to say :P It is a very simple game, try it. You might enjoy a relaxed session of piloting a mech :P

Torchlight II... is the same Torchlight with nothing new. All the spells are similar to the previous ones, gear sets are the same thing and the only new thing is that you can choose between different pets. There's 9 pets to choose from and I found none new... pretty disappointing. The story is rather simple, but with some small twists. I liked one character that lost her husband and wanted the children back, safe, from a cave. Also a quest with... skulls :P

Some of the maps seem better but in reality everything is very similar to Torchlight I. It's like Torchlight I with some colors changed + a bit more story. The best part is that most quests work easier, there's no longer the need to go in a town every 1-2 levels just to you can pick a quest to kill some strong enemy, now it's just a kill and fame is added :P

I can't say that I liked it more than Torchlight I, I only wanted to finish the game, nothing more. I had no issues, saving is easier, running around doing stuff is also easier, fishing is the same... but the major disappointment is well... the sets. I found no full set, I never liked any of the sets and the stats the sets offer are a nightmare... But if you like it... don't let me stop you playing it :P

One of the lamest games that I have ever played. The story is dumb & boring. The itemization is dumb & boring. Everything is boring in this game, including fishing...

I liked the 1st Broken Sword but I think the 2nd is better than the 1st one. The remastered version is like playing the same game years later but with a better save system. Try it :P

It took me quite a long time to finish it since I made some mistakes along the way but all I can say is "Impressive :P"

I liked the characters more, the story more but the ending... I hope there's a DLC or another game coming in the next years since... with only "hope"... I would rather head the ending :P

Try it, but only after playing the previous two games since the story is connected!
