It's Half-Life 2 why are reading reviews just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ play it dude

10/10 definitely wouldn't play for five years

RNG will make or break your playthrough, but I've never had so much fun restarting a campaign over and over again.

There's good and bad on both sides of it, but if players needed to know any one thing before buying, it's that the game suffers from a side-pan glitch that makes the game unplayable until your cpu is restarted (sometimes more than once). That this issue reoccurs at random is annoying; that this has persisted since the game's launch is nothing short of frustrating. According to Steam forums, Klei has only suggested that it may be your mouse (it's not), and seeing that those date back to 2015, it's clear they mean to leave the game in this state.

Obviously, I've recommended the title, so hear me out:
- The game is, overall, really well balanced, rewarding careful strategy in a way that is satisfying to both beginner and experienced gamers.
- There are countless different combinations of starting load-outs that work towards a winning strategy.
- And it's not bad to lose: even a failed campaign yields EXP towards new agents and programs.
- Splinter Cell meets X-Com: a very unique take on the stealth genre.

Now for the bad:
- I've already mentioned the heavy RNG aspect, which will spawn some pretty unfortunate circumstances that only the luckiest and most prepared players will get through without calling the mission a bust and rushing for the exit.
- Not to mention the side-pan glitch (the screen locks in a downward scroll like your mouse fell off the desk). A simple restart usually does the trick, but leaving such a huge issue to come and go at random is less than satisfying.
- It amazes me how a game with such a small file size runs so poorly on start-up. Even simple movement animation will lag and stumble for the first ten minutes or so of the game, and I've never once seen a smooth KD animation.

All that being said, there really is no other game like it, and it's a welcome addition to my library.

The developers have managed to transform this intuitive and unique gameplay into tedium and monotony. There is nothing rewarding about the campaign. The hero missions are a flagrant theft from clear inspirations that simply do not fit. The story is lackluster and uninspired at its best moments, and the writing is rife with grammatical and syntactical errors. How could you have let something so lazy come to fruition, and then try to use it to justify such a price increase?

And on top of that, you try to rewrite the narrative to describe why fans are disappointed: "We understand that there are people who prefer to play Survival and are not interested in the campaign, and prefer that development efforts be directed only to the Survival." This is not why people are disappointed, because I'm certain that your fans would play through a campaign if it were engaging. Survival mode, at this current state, will stay fun and balanced. But you've taken a full albeit narrow game, stapled on a crumpled campaign mode, and called it complete. There is much work to be done in order to improve the general quality of this game, for controversy alone will not drive sales.

Though advertised as a dense tactical RPG, Hellenica is a frustratingly limited game that offers nothing new to the genre or its source material. I found myself clicking through dialogue early-on, only to reach another boring battle. The story is written poorly and has tacky animation, coming off as an amateur flash game in the end. Further, there is hardly an RPG element to Hellenica, as the game offers little in the way of rewards to improve the characters and gameplay. What we are left with is essentially an interactive fan-fiction, which I simply cannot recommend for $20.

Only bought it for the classic ASMR. Did not disappoint.
