| I downloaded the demo, mainly because I hate myself. Some thoughts:
Ha ha, "witty" narrator. Ok, we're playing some sort of clunky adventure game? It controls slightly better than Monkey Island 3 I suppose, which is fitting since it looks exactly the same. Combat is directly ripped from Final Fantasy? Seriously? We're just going to line up and watch time gauges fill? And now I didn't immediately run over and pick up an item like the game wanted to teach me how to do (disregarding everything I've already picked up) so the camera is locked in place with me off screen and with no way to get back into view. This is definitely game of the year! At least I learned that 1922 had power lines and fire hydrants along dirt roads. |
