“And on far-off Earth, Dr. Carlisle Perera had as yet told no one how he had wakened from a restless sleep with the message from his subconscious still echoing in his brain: The Ramans do everything in threes.”
–Rendezvous with Rama, Arthur C. Clarke
That’s classic science fiction there. And I dare say this is some classic science fiction right here.

Am I just here to play clones of Legend of Grimrock, FTL, and Dark Souls? Maybe. I don’t know any more.

Creating a believable and realistic speculative fiction world is a tough challenge. One false step and the whole facade falls apart.

Have I simply grown bored of puzzle games? Or is it that I value puzzle games less because I played so many for free (in Flash)?

I’m afraid I can’t exactly say what bored me about this game. Perhaps it was the level design that felt uninspired and generic. Perhaps it was the plot clichés and constant reminders that the “Main Character is so powerful.” Perhaps it’s because I just finished playing Dusk (and started a new run of Dark Souls). Whatever it was, it’s sad to think that after waiting 13-ish years to finish the fight that I may not be interested in doing so now that I have the chance.

Is this basically someone’s custom DOOM .wad made after watching Mandy? Yes. Do I particularly care? No. Why? Well, among other things, I was having so much fun that I forgot to take screenshots until well into the first chapter. Plus, you get to dual wield scythes.
There’s really not too much more to say, other than guessing what “Morale” is or how it affects gameplay (Edit: it functions as armor, halving damage taken). Amusingly, I only purchased this because it was in a bundle with AMID EVIL (also fun, but not quite as pure as this). Tier One.
Edit 2020-07-08: Having made it through Chapter 1, I’m finding Chapter 2 even more enjoyable. This is an excellent game.

This is quite possibly the only game I’ve played that starts you out sitting through a meeting and going through a PowerPoint. I honestly could not tell you if it was meant to be serious or not; it seems to be since it is the introduction to the game and meant to set the stage for a banal start, but it’s just so ridiculous I can’t be sure.

This is a tough one to categorize. On the one hand, this is the most Nintendo game I’ve played that wasn’t made by Nintendo. On the other, it feels a bit like its trying too hard.

Ah, Tier Four. I haven’t put something there for a long while now. Old Gods Rising, however, is offensively bad in every conceivable way.
