- atdrummond 5y agoOpen Season, despite how regressive it may appear today, sold north of 1 million copies and received extremely warm reviews from outlets such as CGM[1]. From the Wiki summary of said review: A longer review in March 1994 stated that the game had succeeded "at so many levels", that its realism and "seemingly endless amounts of" police procedure offered "larger implications about our society and its struggle against the drug machine". The reviewer noted that treating NPCs with the same "lack of consideration" players do so in other games "seems incredibly damning—and heartrending—because it's true to life. We treat each other, the game implies, in our attempts merely to cope with the problems with which we are faced, like NPCs". The magazine concluded that "Open Season tells that story magnificently". 1. https://www.cgwmuseum.org/galleries/index.php?year=1994&pub=2&id=116 https://www.cgwmuseum.org/galleries/index.php?year=1994&pub=...
