This game release to me as a complete suprise. I wasn't expecting GOG.com to hand out these two pioneers of wilderness survival games, not both for the same price at least.
In these two first person, survival adventure games, you're stranded on an island and must make use of the nature's supply of food and items to survive. The games offer a huge amount of challenges when you must combat fever, treat your injuries yourself and make food by cooking whatever you can find around the wilderness.
Combating both lack of equipment and diseases you encounter, crown these two games the kings of survival adventure games. Whatever you find, you must use to create makeshift supplies and equipment. As food will be scarce, you must sometimes eat uncooked and unknown plants that may give you one of many different diseases. With all the survival micro-managing, you still need to concentrate on getting away from the island, which is a huge challenge on its own aswell.
The games have an incredible amount of micro-managing, as they monitor your heart rate, body temperature, artery blocks, several internal organ conditions plus need for nourishment and dehydration. I wouldn't be lying if I told you pretty much everything can be combined and used on yourself and other items. The amount of medical conditions you must battle is mind baffling, I wouldn't wonder if a medical school student couldn't come up with all the cures you must invent in this game.
Although you always start at the same location, every gameplay is different because of all the little things that. There are just tons of things I could praise about, but let me just say this: If you're fan of adventure games, first person shooters, role playing games or survival games, these games should appeal to you all in some way.
