This is really a superb game, well worth the $10. OK, there is a chance you might not like it, especially because of the controls, but it grows on you eventually. I think I finished it about five times, great every time.
First time I played it, I got lost in the forest after dark and stumbled into an old tower near he cliffs. I thought there would be a bed inside so I could sleep till morning, but all I found were skeletons. I ran out as fast as I could, then hammered at the forge for a day just to get my stress level down and make some extra ores for armor or something.

They're very Activision-y as far as their pricing policy is concerned.

For crying out loud, it's only $9.99!!!

As soon as G1 gets a discount, I am getting it. I've never actually seen it on a sale here. :-/

On Steam (and GG) you can't even buy it separately. :(

It hasn't been on sale for 3 years, and even then the highest discount it's ever had was 25% off. Just buy it now, or buy it never.
