still a pretty decent time. biggest piece of criticism off the bat is that the UI does not scale well, making it a pain to read. another bit to criticize is that the campaign does drag on a bit - maps end up being very similar and there's not a lot of variety on offer at the end of the day

with all that said, it's still a pretty straight forward game, and there's definitely some fun to be had with unit tweaking. i'm not a warhammer fan so i can't speak on the quality of the story but what i got wasn't too terrible on that front!!

being very honest, this is still a good game but you should wait for the remaster. this game sorely lacks in some things, like modern screen resolutions.

if the remaster is bad then you can come back here and play this one. if the remaster is good, that would probably be the one to play over this.

this is a good game. anything i would criticize about it would be petty and purely subjective, because it is not for me. regardless, i think it's worth at least your consideration.

still good but needs a decent pass for modernisation in regards to controller support and supported resolutions. some of it can be fixed with mods and steam input, but having native options would be better.

other than that, it's the original splinter cell. predates ubisoft's garbage DRM so you can just install it and play as you will.

confidence is a slow and insidious killer except in this game where it will kill you really fast. i think mullet madjack is a pretty damn good game and dismissing it as "boomer shooter for zoomers" is selling the game short. it's a very frantic time and can get demanding, but plowing through hordes of robots feels pretty damn good.

my cute girlfriend quit because i didn't make her stressed enough.

this is a game you play for the story. there's nothing wrong with the gameplay - matter of fact the combat is pretty alright - but it's nothing you haven't seen a thousand times by now. open-world checklist is a pretty decent summary for that part of the game.

game regularly goes on sale for a handful of pennies, and i would say i think it's at least worth a look, if only because the game feeds you a lot of story regularly.

it's quake, i bought it because i thought buying the id pack would be a good idea 15 years ago. really nothing much to say. it's quake.

i love this game. the gameplay is great. i love having anime girls scream in my ear every 3 seconds. overstimulation nightmare. i cannot recommend it enough. thank you inti create.

lost eidolons is, at its core, what i affectionately think of as a "b-tier" rpg. in the past, this would've been considered a big release considering the production on display, but in modern times, it inserts itself comfortably in that sort of in between.

the game is a strategy rpg that mostly plays by the rulebook - class progression, a story that serves as a way to introduce more maps & characters, character bonds, etc. it also plays by the rulebook relatively well. i guess if i had to criticize it, it's that the map are somewhat dull, being all variations of medieval battlefield. not a problem for me personally, but something i can easily see people getting bothered by.

topping it off is a pretty decent voice acting cast - essentially b-tier fire emblem three houses - that made me actually sit through cutscenes and wait for the performances. i usually read faster than voices and just kinda glance over voice acting, but i think it's pulled off well here and it definitely grabbed my attention.

as a whole? a pretty decent package. i like it a lot. i think there's a lot to enjoy here. i don't think it's perfectly - definitely some seams that show cracks, being this studio's first game. which i think is fine, i like jank and light ambition in my video games.

if you are looking for a massive production, this isn't it. if you arent a fan of strategy games, this also is not for you. if you're looking for a game that has heart and clear direction, this is it.
