Forum Overview :: Pinback's Web Central :: 2. Tharsis

[quote name="pinback"]I've said enough about Tharsis. I've said more about Tharsis than anyone else in the world. It was a <i>perfect</i> game, which ruined its creators because of shitty word of mouth and <a href="http://www.pcgamer.com/tharsis-review/">absolutely unforgivably embarrassing, terrible reviews</a>. Accused of being "too hard" and "too luck-based", Tharsis was neither of those, just a perfectly balanced and executed strategy game with a timelessly compelling story -- a doomed spaceship trying to make it to its destination before splodin'. The studio had to shut down, and then the parent company came in and actually broke the game for a few weeks before putting it back in playable condition. It's still not as great as it was on release. It's all very bittersweet.[/quote]
