Also an update today added higher-refresh support (up to 100fps) to the game, which should make it feel significantly slicker. A genuinely great action RPG (not really an MMO, but co-op optional) given a second chance beyond capitalism.

The developers have addressed a host of issues and made numerous improvements that significantly enhance the gameplay experience.

It could use some work, which is fair since it's still EA. Growth and expansion is interesting. You don't just go around, slapping settlers in random tiles. You have to befriend native tribes and convince them to join you. I believe you can also war the tribes and seize the land, though I haven't done this yet. Once this is done, you can…

positive · AI labelView post →I also reviewed Hellraiser: Revival! Genuinely a worthy part of the film canon now. Never less than good, but the game is by far at its best when it's confident enough to just be Hellraiser, and not Clive Barker's Resident Evil 8.

neutral · AI labelView post →Let's start with my conclusion: No, I am not convinched, and I think I am done with this game for now. But that is my very personal taste. I bought the game because I play a lot turn based 4x or 5x games and I was impressed by the user review percentage. Now I am quite disappointed. The pros: - The setting is unique. - Units can be customized, which I love. - The terraforming aspect is a neat idea. - Grafics are fine. - Performance is okay. That's it. The cons: - Despite the setting gameplay…

neutral · AI labelView post →Due to the way the loyalty system works at this time, it's hard to recommend this game. Also take everyone giving a positive review after only a few hours played with a serious grain of salt. The glaring single player issues of this game only become obvious later in the game, when the AI players take over your cities you thought were secure in a matter of a few turns. In this state it shouldn't even have been released. You have been warned.

neutral · AI labelView post →There are so many bad decisions with this game. It's very obtuse and nothing about it is intuitive. The tutorial tells you to attack the robots around as if that's a good idea, but it's actually the opposite of what you should do. You'll lose units, get slim rewards, and if you do beat one group of robots, the other robots around are automatically beefed up and more hostile, which you can't do anything about with your group cap of 6 weak units (which it doesn't tell you about ahead of time).…

neutral · AI labelView post →1 hour gameplay here, so take this with a grain of salt. This game is just an unofficial Endless Legend 2, but executed badly, lacking all the smoothness and excellent UI of EL. Most of it's "unique" features are more of a hinderance than actual gameplay. City building locations are restricted for some reason, your "hero" unit is kinda useless in fights, which are EXCACTLY the same as Endless Legend but clunkier. Your whole gameplay style is based on which minor faction you encounter…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wish there was a mixed option here. The game seems fun, but some things really bother me. The tutorial is really bad, and ran into bugs where I had to reload in the first 20 minutes of the game. Not only that it doesn't explain half of the systems before throwing you out of the tutorial. This has to be a bug, but half the tool tips are in what seems to be Cyrillic. Doesn't inspire confidence considering I ran into this issue in the tutorial. Some stuff that bothers me is if you queue up moves…

neutral · AI labelView post →I mean this 100% positively, don’t get me wrong, Hellraiser: Revival feels like a really impressive remaster of a game from 25 years ago. Something about its level design, enemy AI, and sense of humor all feel like they fell through a wormhole from the era when Max Payne and VTM Bloodline reigned.
positive · AI labelView post →I tried to like the game, but it is just frankly boring and hard to get into. The AI also massively cheats and often by turn 20 or so will have allied 5 cities while you are sitting with 2 because all the neighbors hate you due to traits etc - the AI doesn't seem to have this issue and it is a love-fest with all the clans and them.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Was fun for a while. Tutorial went well, then shifted into my first game. Was apparently not even remotely aggressive enough collecting neighboring clans and was rapidly falling behind, so decided to start a second game. Got the "forcefully assimilate clans" objective at start, which fit my plans for the game perfectly. Was going well for a while, won my first war (started due a loyalty flip, but was looking to start a war soon anyways), and then got declared on by the other faction on my…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →After playing several more hours, there are many problems and I have decided to change my review to a negative. First, no amphibious attack possible so marine cities are impregnable since no units can get near them, ships, anti-grav, nuclear attack, etc..I even tried to freeze the sea around them but no, no units can get near them. Very frustrating since there isnt any manual, of course... There are bugs like disappearing armies and other pain in the ass problems.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Persona 4 Revival is a Day One Game Pass Title.
neutral · AI labelView post →Surprisingly mature Early Access in the very hard "what-else-left-to-be-done" environment of 4x Grand Strategy. It feels like Sid Meier himself has made Might and Magic in an alternative universe, but with enough tone of each of them. Very balanced new concepts. Very good and fluid graphics, not too much not too little. I salute the developers.

neutral · AI labelView post →On paper this game should be an underrated gem with many interesting and cool ideas and features but in execution the game just mishandles nearly everything. Despite obvious comparisons to Civ, the devs were clearly inspired by Amplitudes' Endless Legends with various systems such as districts, FIDS, map regions, and unit upgrades & progression lifted directly from EL; the strength of this game rests largely in how closely it emulates Endless Legend' systems that it masks the rest of the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Took a little longer than expected but I love Clive Barker's Hellraiser: Revival. It feels damn good to get a horror IP game that isn't just a slasher (i like those but c'mon). Everyone forgets that Hellraiser was a romance movie at its core, and this game GETS IT. My review:
positive · AI labelView post →Hellraiser Revival finished. What a wild ride! Took me about 11 hrs or so even though game timer says just under 8. I ran into no major bugs, had a fantastic time honestly with some challenging moments. Way better then I could have anticipated. Solid 8.5. One of my favorite games this year.
positive · AI labelView post →Edited review: As for now i am totally thrilled about the basic concept of this game. sadly it does not yet live up to it. (yet?) let me give just a few examples of issues that probably/hopefully get fixed sooner or later: * though changing and adopting the right climate in your zone is one mandatory task, it is almost impossible to spot the difference between the climate-zones with your naked eye. Ok, the snow/desert in general is easy to spot. but once the fields contain something else, it…

positive · AI labelView post →I enjoy the game very much but I am frustrated by the lack of documentation of important things. For example, I am now stuck because I can't take cities from AI as the slander mechanic is impenetrable. English translation also a big problem because you really need to keep oaths and so you need to know what they mean.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Reviewing current state in early access, so it may be improved in the future. 1. The tech tree is simplistic. It just lets you build things you need anyway, instead of giving advantage or changing gameplay. 2. The "spell" tree is super simple and not clear at all as to why any of them are useful other than the change temp ones. 3. Only 3 leaders to choose from with unequal powers is not enough. 4. The combat is really simplistic strategically. And unbalanced. A tier one enemy can shoot you…
