Well this was quite a thread :/
I just restarted this for about the 4th time so I can work out what the hell’s going on. About 5 missions in I think I see how hubs/factories/attachments/upgrades relate. If I’d played any of the Starcrafts back in the day or spent much time with whatever Total Annihilation became, I’d be more jaded, but I haven’t played much SF ‘strategy’. Shame the Ground Control people went contemporary too.
So I’m finding this quite enjoyable.
… but the final mission has a painful difficulty spike, even on easy, and I can’t be bothered with that much micro. That’s why I was playing on easy, developers. So in my ending the Goo are defeated. I’m fine with that.
I love reading drive-by comments on reviews :-)
