The Forgotten City

I did NOT expect to enjoy this game as much as I did, at all Very good game, very good game indeed Unless you don't like philosophy, perhaps, as if you don't, this game might not be your thing

Lovely.

I'm a big fan of puzzle games and I picked this one up because it's by Aussie devs (gotta support my homeland devs) knowing very little about it except that it was a mystery. I had no idea there was a time loop, I didn't know about the curse either. Went in totally blind. And it was so worth it. The characters and story were really interesting and well written - I won't say much about either because figuring it all out for yourself is so rewarding and satisfying - but I was impressed how attached I got to some of them for so short a game. Galerius is my home dog, that guy is the best. I really liked Naevia, also, she was a little bit batty and I wish there'd be a proper conclusion to her story; that's one of few gripes I have about the game, honestly. That, and I did experience crashes a couple of times. Could not for the life of me figure out why, though. Just minding my own business and then crash to desktop. My PC is good enough that I don't get a lot of crashes, so I'm genuinely not sure what happened. I wouldn't have expected the game to be particularly heavy on my system, the graphics are pretty, but they're not exceptionally high detail or dense. I streamed this for my friend who also enjoys puzzles and we had a good time theorising about what was going on and who the bad guy was. A couple of the plot twists we figured out well before the game expected us to, but I don't consider that to the game's detriment; it just goes to show that good foreshadowing/clue drops can help the player unravel the mystery without being too heavy handed. And, to be fair to the game, if you're not super brushed up on your Greek/Roman/Egyptian history/mythology, you probably won't think too much of it at first. We did not, however, find the end reveal to be the most satisfying. I won't spoil it, but after the 'OH, I get it' moment, it was kind of just... I don't want to say a cop out, but it could definitely have been a little more creatively done. It felt like it had been done before and detracted a little from how excellently the game's threads had woven together up to that point. Ymmv, this was my (and my friend's) personal feelings on it. The achievements were fun too. This was a game that encouraged wandering around to find things out for yourself, trial and error style, and a lot of the time, the weird little things I was doing would reward me with an achievement. That's the best kind of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ around and finding out. I love it when games have a little whimsy in that regard. I definitely think some of them need to be reworded, though, especially Super Looper: across three play throughs, I absolutely did ten loops, but it only triggered when I did ten loops on one save file which was not clear in the achievement description. Minor nitpick, that, at least it's easy to get (sorry Galerius). Anyway, overall a really solid game, I had a great time with it. Well worth a play if you like puzzles and mysteries and actually being able to solve things on your own because you're given all the clues you need to do it.

Nothing special about this game. Took 6 unremarkable hours to get the 'canon' ending. I wouldn't recommend it.

sicuramente un gioco che consiglierei a chi ha amato outer wilds,

i think this game is really intricately plotted and very fun to play! i like the story (minus the final plot twist) and i like how interconnected everything and everyone is. did you know the game was originally a skyrim mod?
