A bit crud tower defense with multiple strategies to implement and boss gimmicks to counter.

Бессмысленный Falcom-овский гринд из двухтысячных. Забористая дрянь.

Ну, живём. Я прошёл и не пожалел, но не могу не отметить, что, во всяком случае, если вы пытаетесь ориентировать героя на бытие нейтральным по отношению к противоборствующим силам, история быстро превращается в кашу.

On one hand, "Arctic Eggs" is one of the best cooking games out there, atmospheric and all, with interesting mechanics and lots of recipes that can be recreated in real life, on the other hand, the game definitely lacks well-articulated message.

А что? А неплохо. Впереди тянут лямку визуальное и звуковое исполнения, история тащится где-то посередине, и далеко позади ползёт полумёртвый куцый игровой процесс, подгоняемый единственным на всю игру противником.

A decent stealth-centered adventure with heavy focus on visual storytelling and a bit messy double A level implementation. Neither great, nor bad in any way, but I can be biased because I am definitely not a fan of stealth games.

If you liked "GRIS", you may like "Neva", given you're ok with the usage of a more restricted palette and bland environments.
I liked neither. Both "Neva" and "Gris" are spectacular cartoons, but at the same time they are underdeveloped mediocre games.

The game gives off strong "Gothic" vibes, but manages to create its own unique atmosphere. "Drova" presents you with a relatively small but densely packed world to explore, with its own quirks and logic, faction relations and multiple side quests to find and complete. The biggest issue is the gameplay: "Gothic" series had abysmal fighting mechanics, and now it can proudly pass the torch. The battles are unbelievably protracted, sluggish, and unrewarding.

Cool game, not to my liking though: the difficulty curve is too steep and uneven.
Maybe you'd enjoy "Diplomacy is Not an Option", but if you prefer to focus more on city building and less on army management, try "Kingdoms & Castles".

Не понимаю, на кого игра рассчитана: для подростков и взрослых откровенно скучно, да и для детей, если уж на то пошло, весьма спорный выбор как в плане игровом, так и в сюжетном.
