Germs has incredible design that hearkens back to the masterfully crafted Batman and Robin for the Sony PlayStation; Check the computer at your base for info on what's new, Go to locations and investigate. But this really doubles down on two aspects, the world is entirely handcrafted and unique looking, and there's a large focus on investigation, via talking to people, something entirely absent from the much vaunted Batman and Robin. With a wide range of immersive simulation elements such as driving, active gps, working massage parlors and hospitals, map stores, restaurants with dynamic menus that change based on time of day, in addition to a wide variety of weapons, melee, guns, etc., etc.. Simply put, Germs is a game quite unlike anything else, one of the greatest videogames I've ever played, but it's plagued with a serious problem, it barely manages to run on its original system, borderline requiring being emulated with 190% cpu overclock to be playable, it should have always been on PC. I think everyone would love this game if given the chance, and I hope GoG gives everyone the chance.
Altho we could say some games did the open world in 3D before this one, such as Body Harvest or the incredible overlooked Mizzurna Falls with its very Twin Peaks inspiration, both from 1998, it doesn't take away from Germs from 1999, in such short window 3 games have pushed the boundaries in technology and ambitious, while Body Harvest keeps it very arcade and surface and Mizzurna Falls in more cinematic details and third person view, Germs stands out as doing the 3D open world in also great details but all in first person view, bringing a level of ambitious that the other two don't have with for example when getting into vehicule seeing the inside, while the mechanics makes it hard, to see a 1999 videogame do that with the freewill to drive around is historical, this game needs to be restored and get a new life! vote up!
