spoilerIt is much more than just Pinocchio’s story. Dorothy makes an appearance and there are hints of Red Riding Hood, Sleeping Beauty, Beauty & the Beast and a few others are alluded to throughout the game if you pay close attention.
The story also takes after the older rendition of the tale that is much more mature in its representation of themes. Think of it like a “Brothers Grimm” version instead of the watered down Disney edition.
Just wait till you find out about the puzzles that require certain rooms to spawn in certain places so you can get the chance to spawn a special room from that room.
Or that some rooms being drafted in certain squares will be changed with key puzzle information now visible.
Mixed bag for me. Love the puzzle aspects. Hate the roguelike elements. A lot of the puzzles relying on lucky draws makes testing theories for the more complex things a PitA.
Should be the gold standard of free-to-play yet it is still one of its kind.
The story of its development is truly a fantastic “fuck you” to the gaming industry that told them their business model that actually respects the players wouldn’t be successful.
RoboCop: Rogue City took me by surprise. I was expecting a linear shooting gallery type thing but the game gives you some surprising levels of freedom to explore around. Much more immersive than I thought it would be.
Pacific Drive is so fantastic. I love the new endless mode they added. One of the best soundtracks in gaming.
