Pixel 3D is a great idea but it's too shiny, a great example of mindlessly utilizing PBR techniques. Ends up being very ugly, and very clunky. It's fun but I've played all the better imsims and it's not doing much for me.

Wish I could play this consistently but I'm not quite built for it. Cammy rules. Always fun.

Eye-rollingly dumb, nothing dramatic happens and the "slow burn" is 100% padding. I hate the story. The world is very pretty and worth walking around in.

PS360-ass game, very cool. Playing as a merc for evil corpos is great storytelling.

Very expressive game, someone made it for themselves and it shows. I hate the walljump and the music doesn't work for me.

Been playing off and on since release. Kind of a restrained attempt to reform civ. I like the respect for independent people, the fame system, the UI, and the cultural mixing.

Ultimately changing your identity completely every era kind of sucks, and you have to go from story-making to treating it like a board game to get over it. It's liberal and not even close to absolving 4X as a genre. Very fun though, with great AI.
