Far Cry Samurai.

More like 3-4 than 5-6. Which is good imho.

Let's be real, you're interested in if it lets you do cool samurai stuff in a pretty setting. it does that well, even if I was hoping for more.

Good game that is only going to get better.

I genuinely don't understand why people like this game.

I got 2/3rds of the way through and I couldn't stomach playing anymore... I feel like I've been catfished and I'm glad I only spent $7 on it.

So many poor decisions (nb: not limitations as all my complaints were active design decisions) that I'm both angry and bored even as I write this.

Good game. Better than it has any right to be.

What can I say?

It pushes itself into a very specific audience.... But as a member of that audience, I think it's very exciting.

It was fun...

I enjoyed playing with most of the classes.... If it's your sort of game, you'll spend a lot more time with it than I did.

I'm more into story than PvP though.

Seeing as it's free you may as well give it a shot...

Bear With Me a moment...

This review may not be what you want to read. However, I feel I must voice it.

The game has a lot of good going for it. The Noir/Fantasy/Horror is actually pretty exciting and so is the characterisation. This said, game falls short in two areas.

Firstly, it has all of the problems that point and click adventures usually have. With counter-intuitive puzzles and the poor pacing that comes with that. This is magnified when the protagonist whinges, "Are you are you even trying?" Over and over, when the only way to find the answer to some of the 'puzzles' is to place everything you have in your inventory on everything in the environment, until it solves itself.

This leads to the worst crime of the game.... The protagonist is an absolute prat... Some of the nonsense that comes out of her mouth could only be rational if she had just returned from her monthly meeting at the Wear a Running Blender as a Hat Club.

This saddens me... The scenes where she isn't in the game are good; properly good. I'd happily play 5 episodes of the game as Ted, without her. But her voice and actions make me grind my teeth.

So to conclude: Cool idea... What the hell happened with the execution?

Well... It's fun... And the story seems interesting...

Only trouble is the Matchmaking is rubbish... So unless you intend to buy this with 4 other friends I don't know what to say....

Breaking Bad Easter Egg! 10/10
