As a Baldursgate fan, from the first game where I could barely understand english to the 2nd game where I was so involved with the story and its characters - I must say BG3 is not a disappointment! It has been a long time since I longed to play a new RPG. Now I am on my seat hoping to see some familiar faces from the old games ( I do not yet know if I will, Ive been dodging alot of spoilers lol ).

I am daily surprised by new features, the feeling of having multiple ways to play, the interaction with characters etc. And I cant wait for the day when I can play with my friends to ! currently thou, I want it to be my experience only - Since its... its so amazing. This is the opposite of Duke Nukem and how let down I felt, this really made me happy and like the old games will entertain me for years!

I have been oogling this game for quite some time, ot looked pretty fun and I love survival games in general. Only thing that made me go ' But but... ' was that there was no option to decide who I am in the game and how I looked ( choose gender and appearances ). But to my surprise it didnt really mess up with much of the experience, even thou I love being the villages snowflake by choosing my specific looks.

The things I love the most is the micromanaging and story, I did not expect to giggle so much over the storyline in a survival game lol.

The building can be a bit tiresome thou, especially in the beginning but there is settings for that i believe? Im kinda into pain so I push myself throu it anyway xD

the biggest fault thou, you cant cuddle your animals. If theres baby animals I want to be able to pet them ! end of story !

Lovely game, music is amazing, the art is fun! the whole intro blew me away tbh - it looked so great!
The gameplay is easy to understand and pretty fun, you defend your human from the alien bacteria who wants to overthrow his immune system ( aka you, the player ). Totally worth to pick up, quick to start, enjoyable and cute. Only thing I lack is a volume button, I can only find how to turn on and off sounds. Might be a user error but I dont think so?

This game is lovely, I played it for the first time on a browser. I love games I can pick up multiple times and yet have a new fun expreience each time! The enemies are varied and you can build different strategies, and thanks to multiple characters to choose from you wont be bored quickly, Id put it up on the same shelf as I put the binding of isaac! which is a great compliment coming from me since I think Isaac was a masterpiece for the genre.

Both sound and visually its very cute, and the small details makes me giddy! just the detail that each character has their own foot prints is adorable.

Get this game if you want a fun adventure in your own pace, its perfect if you have a cat that likes snuggling since you only need one hand to play. I usually have to act like a cat basket with my left arm, so its a perfect game for the cat owner lol.

A quite boring item finder with booming music, this far I havnt been able to find any volume settings.
the maps pretty weirdly made to, its like a badly laid out game of carcasonne. you can see the seems between tiles.
I dont really recommend this in its current state, some annoying bugs and the fact everything is static makes it very boring.
If the villagers had some movement or the trees blew in the wind it would be more interesting, maybe some items gets more viisble due to the movement.

A very fun game with amazing details, Theres a few things I dont like with it thou. The enviroument is amazing, so is the sounds. Hunting is super fun, since you can both track animals down and hunt everything you see. Need a horse? go tame a wild one! ( sadly no way to sell horses ingame thou ). make your avatar unique with clothing choices, gun mods, hair etc. The bad is that there is so much that locked either by level, carrier, gold bars ( that take alot of time to grind ). Like, One would believe fishing would be something you got to do from start, but nah. Also the cheaters, I have no idea how and if they deal with them. Ive met 2 that kinda ruined the session in different ways. Ive heard also that they wont update this game with new content in favor of the new GTA game which is a shame, I think this could reach really far if it got as much attention as GTA. I do recommend it thou, its amazing. Especially with friends! running around making mischief is hella fun, and if you want it to be harder. Try to only do good deeds

Update

After being away from the game for a while a new update dropped, I was contacted by the devs to give it another shot. And I must say I am very happy with the changes! quite a few upgrades to the sinner's mental abilities ( They actually notice the need to find the closest latrine and not just keel over because they need to walk for a minute or two ). But also fixes that make it easier to manage your hellscape. I really like the priority tool which lets me decide what is most important for my naked lads and ladettes, which in turn means way less " Help Mistress! I am stuck in a hole and can't get up! " moments.

One can say my former complaints are pretty much gone, I did not notice any game breaking / Immersion breaking moments and the game runs smoothly. I really feel like the dev team listened to their audience and polished their game, So if you were like me and really felt disappointed at first - Give it a try again!

Some things I really felt a good impact of was the new perk system, it's a fun new way to integrate game mechanics and the games overall humour. I mean, come on. Dominatrix imp? I can't wait to buy that perk!

They also have random events, which I must admit I really REALLY like. Just like in Dungeon Keeper "One of your imps does a great impression of you. He can even do the ears", the big difference is that in HA something happens while in DK it only was triggered based on either amount of time playing or similar. Here it directly impacts your gameplay rather than just some random joke pop up.

The new torture tools were a riot as well, I dont want to spoil to much about the content since I think a huge chunk of gameplay is to experience it yourself.

I will now return to my torture tools, sulphur pools, and separation of family jewels!

Old Review
----------------------------------------------

I got this game after watching Angory Tom playing it, it tugged my interest since Dungeon Keeper is one of my favorite games ever. It also reminded me of the old game " After Life ", which is like a heaven and hell Sim City game. So I was pretty stoked and excited, once more I could build the perfect hell and cackle like the wicked witch I am.

Bad things
When playing the game there is ofc a big resemblance with the game Oxygen Not Included, which I dont think is a bad thing if it wasnt that the sinners isnt as smart nor as flexible as the duplicants. For a already released game I dont think its a charming trait that the sinners are so clonky and for some reason in my game LOVES to fall through the earth and get stuck in the bottom of the map. It is very game breaking since theyre also my source of income, its especially devastating and annoying if it happens early in the game. I have to constantly keep an eye out so they actually go and feed/pee/drink etc since they seem to be confused if the machines etc isnt straight under their nose. Another thing that really makes me moan in pure frustration is the glitchy building, the blue prints ( with lack of better wording ) can at times 'get stuck'. When this happen you cant remove it, you cant build over it, it just sits there - ruining your perfect mental imagery of how your hell should be built. Who's supposed to be tortured? me - the player? or the sinners?

The good bad things
The game do thou give you the initial hook that wants you to continue play, Theres good voice acting, amazing art, fun humour, and you can clearly see a red line on what this was supposed to be. The problem is that my immersion gets stopped fairly often due to things i mentioned before - which is bad.

Do you reccomend this game?
Sadly, I dont. Not in the current state, Maybe later? I think they released the game a bit to quickly. The immersion breaking bugs and frustration really ruins the whole thing for me, I will probably return after a month or more to see if its better by then. The things I mentioned in the spoilers really need to be looked over and improved, it shouldnt be " its like ONI, but not as great ".

I love a good horror game, and to be honest this started out kinda promising. It looked cool, you could interact with alot of stuff. I liked the enviroument etc. But then the actual game started, and I really felt the game mechanics fell short. Now I will write some potential spoilers Its like the game doesnt know if it wants to be a horror game with mood and jumpscares, a running simulator or a FPS. Some of the puzzles was fun, but the part where you flee... Those are horrible and happen way to often, and some scenes feels just like a copy of amnesia ( specific example - the water monster ). Some of the games solutions to problems makes no sense, like, you need a knife to cut a rope but at the same time you run around with a machete that would cut pretty much anything, or a hedge scissor... you get my point? Would I recommend this game to a person who loves horror games? not really, if you like to check stories etc its OK but otherwise. No , dont buy this game. Go play Amnesia instead.

This game is amazing! I seldom get scared, especially from movies and games. But this succesfully made my go ' [BLEEP] No no no nope nope... ', last game that did that was Amnesia the dark decent! It's so clever with its voice recognition, its *mwah * great! Cant wait to see how it developes! surely best halloween game this year!

This is one of my favourite games, you have survival, you have crafting, you have building, and you have beating zombies to a pulp with various weapons! it's an amazing and forever evolving game. If you want an amazing time with your friends or just solo play, this is something for you ! You dont know hardships until you tried to survive on spoiled sandwiches and dirty water haha xD
