I'm from Buenos Aires and I say kill 'em all!

Fun and short game i really enjoyed it
but there was no slug made of metal

Did i ever tell you the definition of a great game?

Assassin's Creed Chronicles: India takes you on a mesmerizing journey through the colorful streets of 19th-century India. The story is captivating, pulling you into the world of assassins and intrigue. But let's be real, those controls can be a headache, and don't even get me started on the difficulty spike at the beginning! At times i felt like smashing my keyboard across the room. Still, if you can push through the frustration, the beauty of the game and its story make it worth the struggle.

Huge downgrade from ACC China IMHO. This one is a pass for me.

Text based game where you choose 4-8 (difficulty dependent) crew members each with a job and different positive and negative personality traits. You are an AI that has to find them a world to live on. There is some good writing but like most games like this it is often too limiting, traits and choices are rarely logically used, death can be too random (extremely random on some planets/stations), and you need to try to manage fuel and food as is the common thing in survival space games which just adds even more randomness that never does anything interesting. Simple but can be good on the more interesting planets and I liked the ending I reached. No ship events or crew interaction outside of planets.
