| Simoun 04/16/19 10:56:43 AM #239: | Nibiru: Age of Secrets (PC) AKA budget Broken Sword. It's a 5/10. To my utter frustration and disappointment, I was raging when I realized in the first 5 minutes that the game engine used here was the same for Black Mirror 1 which I played 2 years ago. So...no running, featureless stages, "puzzles" that involve talking and examining the same thing over and over while backtracking. Yeah, not fun at all. Fortunately, this game wasn't so bad. Unlike Black Mirror, it didn't all take place in one big location so the backtracking was at best a few screens. What this is though is just boring. This game came out in 2004(?) and Broken Sword 1 came out in 1996 so it has no excuse. There are moments in the game that felt like padding and the plot didn't know where to settle. Then the ending was just hilariously copped out. This game ranks somewhere on the bottom alongside Still Life 2 for crappy adventure games --- It's not so cliche anymore when it's happening to you. ... Copied to Clipboard! |
