Kenshi

Kenshi

I have a lot of games in my library. This one has the most hours.

There is just something to say about suffering and struggling and every bandit pwning you for days. Then one day you are standing victorious while unconscious enemies lay piled around you.

Take the fight to those holy nation sanctimonious bigoted jerks, seriously those guys suck.

Shoot the tax man when he comes to collect, and when he returns with muscle I shoot them too.

After being beaten nothing says I win by making your own rules even if the NPC says no.

Simply the best game of this genre I’ve played, which is no contest because Kenshi is the first of it’s kind. I stayed away from it for years because I kept saying “ew, graphics.” I couldn’t have cheated myself more with that sentiment. Kenshi is far and beyond anything I expected. With a handcrafted world full of history, it’s up to you and lady luck to decide if you create a story of untold triumph, or utter defeat.

Wanna be a bounty hunter? craftsman? farmer? wandering samurai? Robin Hood? Maybe you just want to found a city, you can do almost anything! Additionally the modding community is very active to this day, heck, the game comes with it’s own built in modding tools so you can make your own mods!

Shadow Tactics: Aiko’s Choice

Shadow Tactics: Aiko’s Choice

It’s like they were short on their Q4 financials and some bean counter said, “Hey, how can get a quick cash infusion before Dec. 31?” And then someone said, “I think there’s a bit leftover on the Shadow Tactics cutting room floor we can wrap up in a bow and sell for cash grab so we can all get our Christmas bonuses.”

This DLC is just way too short. No new characters or abilities. And all the achievements are super easy. There’s no achievements for doing the missions on hard difficulty. No achievements for getting all the badges. It’s like this was all just quickly picked up off the floor and thrown together.

Not much to say here, it’s more of the brilliant Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun, for which you can see my review here . It’s made in the exact same engine, so all the pros and cons of my original review stand.

The 3 short interlude missions, with no badges, allow for a more relaxed pace to deliver story and plot in. This adds character and is very welcomed. The maps are most huge and, as usual, richly detailed (except the second, which takes place on an archipelago with smaller sandy islands that tend to look mostly the same).
