Grey Goo

"Goo"d game haha

Unique take on the RTS genre. Only played the campaign but it is built interestingly with great voice acting (they're australian too, fun to see aliens speak australian instead of american). The races are very divers and the grey goo itself is a totally new RTS mechanic that I've never seen before.

While it was not the easiest game to initially learn, once you get the hang of it, it can be pretty fun. I didn't enjoy the way it played as much compared to C&C games, but the story kept me going and was worth the price I paid for the game being on sale. Worth trying if you like RTS games.

Pretty neat RTS game. Not as stressful as StarCraft 2 but still is a very enjoyable experience. The servers got taken down but there is still a small community where you can find games or even tournaments. Would recommend to check us and the game out if you are looking for a chiller RTS :) https://discord.gg/9uE3RFQ

A game with many interesting concepts which either aren't fully explored or aren't executed well enough to remain entertaining past a few hours. I wish it'd had more time in development or simply a full expansion to flesh out the ideas. [i]My playtime is from a previous playthrough around the time the game released, I recently replayed and then wrote this review.[/i] [h3]Campaign[/h3] The campaign has a cliché but fine story about a spooky unnamed threat which you keep assuming is the next thing you encounter. The objectives and map variety are good but the balance holds it back; It results in the optimal way to complete missions being turtle-expansion until you have 4-6 extractors and then just wait until you can max-pop your army and steamroll the map. This is partly due to defences being so strong but also because units are so easy to kill/lose regardless of faction. As a result every level is 15m of sitting around and then 5m of action before you repeat on the next. The Goo levels are even worse for this as they have pitiful collection speeds for resources even with multiple 'Mother's harvesting. [h3]Conclusion[/h3] I wanted to like this game but by halfway through the goo campaign I was just bored, it was sitting around and just wasting time more than actually playing the game. The Skirmish AI is okay but can be brutal for new players. Multiplayer I didn't try and have little interest in. [b]TLDR:[/b] Interesting concept held back by flawed design, only [b]get on sale[/b]. The DLC is only 3 missions, so again sale only.

The physics is great! The micro is great! The macro is great! The faction balance is great! The multiplayer is great! Grey Goo is the best RTS game I've played since the early 2000s for these reasons. If you like to focus on unit and building management and don't care about a complex economy, Grey Goo is essential!

Game is too simple and the campaign feels too short even with the dlc(3 missions xD).
