Some people seem excited. Howsacome?

I'm highly skeptical of Slitherine releases... They seem to have an MO of "overcomplicated for its own sake without benefit to gameplay".

Is this game really missing Galaxy Achievements, like the GOG store page's absence of that feature being listed is implying? (but it has 50 Achievements elsewhere).

Also, that was a really bad decision for the devs/publisher to pay for a license based on the worst Termiantor film, and one that almost no one likes.

Kinda odd that it lacks achievements, while Stargate, released by the same dev and pub, has them.

Dark fate is one of the most obnoxiously bad sequels ever made, a cynical product motivated entirely by politics that is openly hostile towards both franchise and the original fanbase. Even if this was good I wouldn't want anything to do with it on principle.

Gameplay-wise it looks like my cup of tea but, ugh, the future scenes in these Terminator reboots never look as cool as the James Cameron originals.

Even though I don't really like the time travel theme, I've always liked Terminator 1+2 and Back to the Future 1-3. I'll take a closer look at the title soon.

"Minimum system requirements: W11"

Looks like we now need a "Does it run on Win 10?" thread to accompany the W7 one...

Captain Nitpick here again. Time travel is not a theme, it is a story device. A theme is a central idea, topic or concept, that a story is built around.

For example, in the first Terminoator film, there are many themes. One is the impact on technology on society, another is survival and resitance. You can go philosophical and bring in themes like predestination vs free will, even go to exitensialism and go into moral and etical choices conidering the value of a human life vs machine life. You can go topical, and have a theme like the role of a woman in an action film and so on. These are the themes, time travel is a device used in the story to convey those themes.

Captain Nitpick out.

Time travel is a double-edged sword. Yes, it allows a quick-fix solution to a problem: How do we get an advanced machine using technology that doesn't exist yet into a setting that is cheap(er) to film, without overstretching our special FX budget.

However, the moment you allow terminators from a future that you have averted in the last movie to be sent into the past regardless, you are shooting yourself in the foot. Because, you end up with branching timelines, where you can always pull another alternative timeline out of the hat

Branching timelines are bordering on the "multiverse", which is more than just a bit of an issue. It is an all around horrible idea, since it renders any plot pointless. As soon as you invite that demon in, you remove any reason to continue with the story, for in the multiverse, there is always another version of the plot where none of what you did matters. For example, the character you killed didn't die, the world never got destroyed, et cetera. Thus, any contradicting future installment and any plot hole can always be explained away by dropping the hammer of "that was another version of the multiverse and in our story, it never happened".

The multiverse is the ultimate deus ex machina plot device; a Pandora's box; an infectious band-aid that is guaranteed to kill any storyline in the long run. Time travel and repetition of a story you already told are its little brothers.

The only way out is to burn anything you touched with that plot device in a big dumpster fire, and pretend it never happened.
