You just unlocked some memories. My dad used to play this all the time when we got our first PC. I was too young and wasn’t interested in it then, but damn if you haven’t piqued my interest in digging it up.
Great post, thanks! Looking at the pictures makes me feel like I must have played a different sierra war game using the same engine back in the day. It all looks very familiar, but I’m pretty sure I never played this.
I think there is a typo for you to fix; it sounds like the following should say to not just grab the best weapon:
Be careful, especially as a Confederate player to grab whatever the best, most high value weapon is within reach as the more expensive weapons tend to have higher rates of fire, which translates into more expense to keep the unit supplied with ammunition. Running out of supplies will turn the finest repeating rifle into a glorified club and make the unit easy pickings.
Still Heroes of the storm every day. And going through the master chief collection. Enjoyed Halo Reach. Halo Combat Evolved was fun game play with a well paced story. Halo 2 is just a slog. Such long levels. Much of it just the same section repeated because padding. Story all over the place and jumping around between characters so no real sense of cohesion. Just need to slog through it so I can start on Halo 3. Oh. I have never played Halo before so this is all new to me.
I finished Chants of Sennaar a couple nights ago, it was a lot of fun. Language-based puzzle game inspired by the Tower of Babel. It’s very pretty to look at, and a lot of the puzzles were really clever. My only real complaint is that I was really expecting the final level to be much more difficult, requiring me to do a lot of synthesizing of ideas from previous levels, but instead the final puzzles were pretty easy and linear. I’d still recommend it though, the first 80% of the game is great, and if you get that far, you’ll probably have the momentum to finish, the end doesn’t take that long.
After finishing Dave the Diver I’ve been playing sifu and outer wilds. Interesting mix of games. Sifu is pretty tough so far. Outer wilds I think I just need to invest more time before I’m really hooked
Great review! I was going to suggest you start a blog and I’m happy to see one linked! Are you on Mastodon?
Those bloody battlefields are brutal. I don’t play many strategy games but I can’t remember any that leave the ground littered with corpses like that. Its chilling.
Technically. I tried it before lemmy but I couldn’t quite make sense of it. I was never into twitter in the first place, so it all kind of baffled me. I could always reactivate my account.
The bloodiness of the battles of the American Civil War is often remarked upon, including by contemporary commentators. So it’s nice that they emphasized that in the game.
I’m replaying Omori since I was on laptop/switch friendly games for the past two weeks visiting family, but I didn’t water the flowers my first playthrough so I’m here for the good good ending.
Football, Tactics & Glory. It‘s alright, I already got it so might as well play it, but it‘s only a football manager in a very loose sense. It‘s actually only football in a very loose sense.
