I was disappointed in that one. The concept was great and the world was interesting, but I found the characters to be bland and poorly developed.
The Bloom was a monotonous slog. I wish you spent less time in the Bloom and more time in other parts of the game (or new areas).
The combat was mediocre at best (nothing like Wasteland 2 or Divinity which are great).
Finally, the bugs were terrible. I only finished the game a couple months ago, so it's had plenty of time for them to get fixed. I still ran into one game breaking bug where I had troll the forums to find out how to hand edit a game script to cause an event to trigger so that I could continue the main quest. That sucked, especially since I didn't do anything unusual. The flag just didn't get set and I was too far along in the game to go back to a previous save.
It's the only game I've kickstarted. I did that because I knew there was no other way a game like this was going to be made at the time. I wanted it to exist. I'm still glad I did and glad I played through it, but it could have been much better. I'd put it at the lower end of my list: worth playing if you really like these kinds of games, otherwise pass.
- peferron 8y agoThanks a lot. I guess I won't play it anytime soon—too many other great games to play in too little time. I may very well play through the "enhanced" original though... It's my favorite game of all time but I somehow only played it once more than 10 years ago.
- bmurphy1976 8y agoThe original is definitely the better game.
