Sintopia

9 / 10 Godny następca Theme Hospital i może Dungeon Keepera. Naprawdę super gra. Minęło niewiele od premiery, więc są dalej pewne drobne bugi i ewentualne miejsca do delikatnego poprawienia, ale na ten moment to naprawdę wyśmienita gra. Zarządzanie piekłem w formie automatyzacji jest naprawdę dobrze zaimplementowane i wymaga sporego główkowania, żeby dobrze je zaplanować. Zarzadzanie "światem na powierzchni" ma pewne mankamenty, ale też jest to raczej feature a nie bug, bo jednak na ludzi (hummusów) wpływamy tylko pośrednio - co jest zgodne z motywem. Motyw, oprawa graficzna, gigantyczny dystantans działa tylko na plus! Mało gdzie motyw kolejek, czekania, nieefektywności we wszelkiego rodzaju biurokracjach został tak dobrze pokazany! Polecam każdemu!

It's actually a pretty fun god-game with some logistics management thrown in.

Muito divertido e desafiador. Vale muito a pena

Flinging Humus is very funny and fun. I'm interested in figuring out how to optimize soul extraction/collection/purification. It's a unique take on city building factory ish game. Building placement seems a little clunky but not awful. Looking forward to playing more!

Would like to love this game, the graphics are cute, the system is complex. However, does not run well on Linux.

Great concept but needs to go back to the drawing board to shore up some things. Few quick things: + Looks great and I like the style + Good music though there’s not quite enough tracks for the amount of time you spend in a level so gets repetitive by map four or so. Still think it’s a positive over-all though. + Bug free (at least I haven’t run into any) + Some adult humor and language but it’s more like, edgy for a 10 year old - VERY slow. I normally like that but because of some other things I’ll go over later, you feel the pacing - You are in control of about 30% of the game, so it often feels like you’re not doing anything - Frustrating lack of logistics tools for the factory automation portion First of all, I recommend it because I like this type of game and want to see more like it and particularly a sequel this. That said, you need to like the concept and be a fan of factory and the Sims-light type of games, which is a pretty niche demographic. [h3] Overview [/h3] It’s a two-part game. The first part is the over-world where it plays like a Sims/God game where you are lording over a civilization. Your only way to interact with the over-world is through spells that you unlock as you play. You get a good number of unique spells, with more that can be acquired and used only on some levels. What you do with them is where a lot of the enjoyment of the game comes from, which I’ll go over in a moment. The second part is where you lord over hell and play a factory-optimization game where you are fed in souls that are put into the system, processed, and returned to the over-world or voided. You use spells in the overword to do things like, blow stuff around, shock creatures, create molten boulders that explode and throw fire everywhere, or call a meteor to wipe out an entire city. Now, you can try to be wholly altruistic and use these spells to help the population, but you are an administrator of hell. Your goal is to purify souls. You can’t do that if they are still alive! Throw humus off a cliff, start their market on fire, zap a crowd, or find several creative ways to interact with the environment to kill of specific targets or genocide the city, it’s up to you. The trick is finding a balance between optimizing hell while manipulating the overworld to get the population to do what you want. That 30% of control goes a lot further than you initially think when you really dig into the game [h3]Problems[/h3] It’s very difficult to optimize the hell side of things. You are balancing between processing souls to generate spell power (faith coins in this game) and cleansing them of their sins. Here’s a bit of what that looks like: [list] [*]There are seven sins souls will generate while they are in the overworld or while walking around in hell. If their sin total is <=50, you get a heros (a currency, not a hero character), so you want to scrub those souls squeeky clean! [*]If a single sin becomes 50 or greater (max 100 per), they become a deviant and require special buildings to process and other buildings do not gain anything but will still attempt to process them. [*]If a soul is too “good”, the become a saint and much like deviants, cannot be processed. They require yet ANOTHER building to process. [*]Each building takes anywhere from 30sec to 2min to process one soul PER BUILDING. They end up going through 3-6 buildings EACH and you can expect to have up to 150-200 souls in hell at once during the late game. [*]Buildings are HUGE for the amount of space you are given, have specific input/output placements, and must be connected with one of three different path types that only go one-way [*]The most egregious problem, your logistics options are limited to paths that can overlap and be directed, and a path splitter that can only take in from 1 side, output to 3 sides, and only take into consideration the state of the soul, not anything on the path or state of the processing centers. Resulting in bottlenecks that are near impossible to address. [/list] With so little control from the over-world, a bad event can result in a huge setback as you get a sudden influx of souls, overwhelmed by lizard-folk, or the town gets over-run by zombies. [b]THAT SAID![/b] Careful manipulation of the over-world can push souls toward specific sins so you can focus on processing only 3-5 of them instead of all 7. That’s where the magic and joy of the game comes in in my opinion. I’ve restarted levels several times after 30min to an hour after I realized where things were heading. I’ve also spent 8 hours on a single map trying to muscle my way through. Make of that what you will. If the trailers look interesting to you I recommend you try it but be aware, it will take about 4 hours of gameplay to get a proper feel for it so don’t expect to be able to get an honest experience and a refund.
