O forgive Tom, great Spire, for he knows not what he is saying. Before we send the bears to maul you, you better repent dear Tom. We would hate lose our beloved Tom Chick.
Man, that save system threw me for a loop for the longest time. I wouldn’t have minded so much if it had been clearer about how it works. I kept restarting levels wondering where my upgrade points went.
I like Northgard a lot, and it’s certainly a notable 2018 release for folks into strategy games! But I feel it’s got pacing issues. The games are a little too drawn out for an RTS and a little too short for a 4X/colony management game. I admire how it’s trying to split the difference, but I think it’s found itself in an awkward middle ground. Still, it’s miles better than, say, Surviving Mars.
Gah, Kingdom Come: Deliverance! I would have to put that under the “didn’t play it enough to decide” category. I put it on hold waiting for a patch, and then when the patch rolled around, I had moved on to other stuff. Hmm, maybe I should jump back into that while waiting on the dang Divinity: Original Sin patch…
Great article. I am looking forward to Wreckfest. Of Tom’s list I only played FarCry 5, which I liked but had some gripes with. Then I finished God of War, which was pretty good, and played a tiny bit of Detroit and Vampyr…want to finish both but no time. And Kingdom Come will wait for a PC upgrade.
Well, that was the idea, to do away with the clutter of traditional inventory and skill systems and wrap all that along with stats in one neat package.
No, we haven’t. Book of Demons is the first title in a series so there is no way we would give up on it now, we are invested and in for a long run.
And the game is close to being finished, we are planning on exiting early access later this year with a lot of stuff planned before that.
I’m glad you are still looking forward to it, there will also be cool stuff after the launch. Still got some neat stuff up our sleeves.
Hey I am a big fan of Book of Demons, was a little worried to read the comments about the Dev’s loss of enthusiasm. Glad to hear that’s not the case and I’m really looking forward to seeing this progress. :)
