Ixamyakxim: No more Knock, Knock ;)
How is this one by the way? I was super excited for it on first release and every time I've passed on it since I've found it more and more easy to talk myself out of it. I talked myself into thinking it's probably just a click-on-icon fest, where I then build exactly the same stuff but in different order, to the same end. Should I be grabbing it next time it comes around?
Nope, finally finished it :-) I think... It didn't tell me that I won or lost, but the credits started rolling in the middle of a level. *shrug*
This War of Mine is pretty good. It is the least-glorious "war game" I have ever played, which is something quite different and welcoming to me. But it is difficult to really call it a "war game", since you are controlling civilians instead of soldiers. It is really a survival game, that takes place in the middle of a war. The atmosphere is quite good, and there is a constant feeling of desperation. There are a lot of difficult decisions - like whether you let a person in your shelter starve to death, or try to steal and possibly kill other civilians for food. But killing other civilians might send your own survivors into a depression... Do you sell the much-needed supplies to afford a bandage for your wounded guy... No easy decisions.
However, like you said, it is a bit of a click-on-icon fest :-p It does get a bit repetitive after a while. It's usually the same routine every day - which I guess could be said is realistic? I dunno.
Overall, I like it. I'm not sure whether to call it "fun", but it is interesting, gripping, and decently challenging.
