  • I mean, I’m not an ultra fan, only a casual one and I dislike that. The whole over the top style of WH40k is exactly what was fascinating about it. If I want to play something with modern soldiers, I have Battlefield or Call Of Duty. I play 40k games for the absurdity of it. That’s exactly the kind of “I know better what the fans want” that most bad adaptations are born out of. Luckily it seems they didn’t feel the need to change too much.

    But admittedly, I can understand that you don’t want to create something where you are pretty sure enough media illiterate idiots will not get that the fascists are NOT supposed to be the good guys.



  • Same as you, I liked the more grounded part better.

    The atmosphere is brilliant and the world was so creative. Cyperpunk is hard to do realistically, but Norco managed to create a believable dystopia to me. Because it wasn’t that different from our own.

    And I applaud the developers for the jump scare with the smartphone and the hobo. That one was really well done.




  • Thanks for the review!

    What I find fascinating is that there is no fixed solution, even though it is a detective game. Therefore you can’t just look up in a guide, but rather still need to do the detective work and deduce the culprit from the clues.

    It also is an interesting game in regard to Kojima himself. While it is cinematic, especially for its time, since it was one of the first visual novel games, the non linearity regarding who is an android and who isn’t is in contrast from the story/gameplay linearity of his Metal Gear series. You can play Snatcher multiple times and each time it will be different.

    I still have to play this game, I didn’t manage to make the emulation work in my last attempt. So thanks for the reminder.








  • I have to admit I’m not into the complex strategy games myself, because I dislike that the first 100 hours are just the tutorial. But I heard good things about Stellaris, although you need apparently some of the DLCs, so wait for a sale there. Endless Legends and Endless Space are different games but both in the same universe, but the latter is in space and the other based on fantasy. And I saw enough memes about Crusader Kings 2 to know that it is Crazy Story Generator in Medieval Times.
