I really like this game though it is short! Artistic design and beautiful music. If you dont take proper care of your cubs, you might get a stomach ache... ;)
One of the best 4x games ever made, every faction feels total different and unique from one other and offers a playstle that anyone can easily learn. The difference in factions enable an endless number of playstyles which guarentees their is a faction for everyone out there
I was so scared in the beginning of this game that I almost did´nt dare to play it through. Then it got exiting because I found it thrilling, then I got bored. The game needs some variation for my taste...
As a platform game, this is one of the best I've played. Very logical and just challenging enough without being overly frustrating (although there are some puzzles that come very close). The game saves itself along the way and does so after every major hurdle, so you are not having to replay large sections of the game over and over. Again, because of some degree of difficulty, your character(s) may die repeatedly trying to get through portions of the game and those you do replay. There is no skip function.
The atmosphere/plot of the game is interesting and the sound effects and visuals really lend to the game. There are a few places where it was difficult to determine depth and what looks like a platform to jump onto is actually behind your character and you will end up jumping onto nothing. This is a minor complaint though and may not appear this way to all players.
While I don't want to give away the ending, I will tell you it is rather sad and somewhat disappointing given the hours one spends avoiding bad guys and otherwise working out difficult puzzles.
I was first exploring the time management genre when I found this game. Compared to other time management games I played, I feel that this one (at least in later levels) really makes you plan out and strategize your actions more than in other games. Definitely both fun and rather challenging.
Its really a great RPG. I've spent many hours already on this game and still enjoy it. I love being able to have a pet companion. Music is pretty nice too.
This is a good trading game in an excellent plot of taking revenge of your father. Buying properties and upgrading the specialists adding more fun to the game.
Its a fun, quirky game with a quirky hero. I have yet to play the other two deponia games, but I hope to play them soon. The full price might be a bit too much for the game (especially since its only one game out of a trilogy), but if you can get it on a discount, definitely get it.
This is a very enjoyable game to play.The only reason I didn't rate it as a five star is because you can't view the battles in detail but other than that it is as immersive as the best strategy games come.
This game does not stand out very much from other space sims. The first thing to mind is "Elite" of which although technically more impressive, IMHO plays slower than, it's a great game though and there is a story, though you may not notice it for the longest tiime. Graphics are good for the time, and I think it's aged just fine, has that whole....StarFox SNES feel in terms of gfx. Pick this game up, especially if it goes on sale.
I bought this with very low hopes that it would not play or render correctly on my Macbook Pro 15. I was wrong. Killer graphics, awesome rendering, barely any noticeable glitches. Action packed gameplay. I could give this more than 5 but that's not possible. Only thing it, my laptop heats up a lot when running it, other than that perfect game.
First impressions... Spirits of Xanadu is an okay, but average space shooter. I'm having fun playing it, but I had to switch from Normal difficulty to Easy as it was pretty hard for me. You get pummeled sometimes by a lot of enemies at once. Even if you try to run, they'll hunt you down. You don't seem to die, but wakeup in a detention center for reasons I won't say. I don't want to spoil the plot for you.
My only issue, and it's not bad at all, is I wish the flashlight was a little brighter and reached further before fading out. It's useless in air ducts! I had to quit and continue my game from my last save point at the main menu, because I was lost in the blackness of an air duct. So far the game is dark and require the flashlight al the time. Unless hiding... :-)
There are save terminals in certain spots, but they are pretty close to eachother. But as I said, you don't really die, not yet anyway, so saving seems to be needed when you want to quit the game. I save anytime I see the terminals just in case I do eventually die! lol
I am not that far into the game, but it feels sort of old school compared to newer FPS games. That can be both good and bad. Depends on the player. I'm not going to say this is my final views of the game as I need to play it more. I just wanted to say if it looks like something you might want to play, then get it now on sale.
The game runs silky smooth at 1280x1024, medium shadows and AA turned on. I haven't tried any other settings as this is the default settings and it feels right. Once I turned on AA, it slowed down a bit. If I take the resolution up, I'm sure it will lag on my 5 y/o iMac.
Here are my system specifications: Apple iMac, i5 Quad-Core Intel processor 3.1GHZ, AMD Radeon HD 6970M with 1GB dedicated video RAM, 4GB system RAM, 1TB hard drive running OS X version 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard), Journaled HFS+ Extended file system, Logitech optical mouse.
EDIT: After playing the game a bit longer, and still having fun, I was able to get the lights turned on and can now see in the air ducts. If playing on Normal or harder difficulties, I can see these air ducts being essential to game play. The enemy can be ruthless! Still keeping my 3 star review, as the game isn't great, but it is good and fun to play. I may still change my views as I keep playing. I recommend getting this game if you are interested. Especially on sale!
This is the third chapter in the "Doorways" series. You can read my review of the first two chapters and apply most of those thoughts to this game as well.
This chapter is fairly short. I think I finished it in around 4-5 hours. The atmosphere is just as creepy as the first two chapters, but I don't recall there being as many torture scenes this time around, and I don't think there was any nudity in this one.
You spend a lot of this chapter running and hiding from two deranged-bag-of-flesh-monsters who will slash you to bits should they catch you. There are several stages in the game where if you don't run in exactly the right pattern, throwing switches as you go, you will be caught and dropped back to the last save.
Speaking of saving, this chapter and its predicessors, auto-save at various points along the way. The screen goes dark for a moment to indicate when this happens. This is also a good cue that you're heading in the right direction.
The fourth (and I believe last) chapter is not available at the time of this writing. Having enjoyed the first three chapters, I'm sure I'll sign up for the fourth as well. Same as last time, I'm discounting one star for shortness and excessive darkness.
I'm trying to like this game, but being a 2.5D game just doesn't work in this game for me. If this were a 3D game with full exploration, it would work much better.
Right now, it is so repetitive, almost to the point of being boring for me. I'm sure some other people will enjoy this type of game play. I'll keep trying, but I am so glad I didn't pay full price for this game! It's getting great reviews everywhere. It just seems like you're doing the same thing, over and over...
I see Mac Game Store finally changed the system requirements to OS X 10.7. Good Job!
Note: This game works fine running OS X 10.6.8 on Steam (for now).
