I am reviewing a game today and thought I should give you a little background about my experience in this area. A little Atari, the occasionally Pac man at a restaurant, and Oregon Trail in high school computers was the extent of my childhood gaming. As an adult I didn’t play much; not from lack of desire but lack of time and experience. It wasn’t until I married my husband, an avid gamer, that I really began to play video games. I found I really enjoy playing them.
Recently, I have been playing Sunless Sea which I purchased via Steam. Its purposely slow paced game play along with the propensity for your character to die can be mildly frustrating.Yet I am continually drawn to it. The goal based system combined with the strategic aspects are endearing despite the fact that it lacks the first person immersion I typically enjoy. This game receives a Butterscotch. See Rating Scale below.
Rating Scale (based on my cats)
5. Archimedes (mischief master) I will play with it until I have exhausted the game and myself. Then I will rest and repeat.
4. Butterscotch (evil genius) It intrigues me. I will match it wit for wit to the end and I will be victorious.
3. Vesta (street cat) for a brief moment I was transported back to the streets the huntress chasing her prey. (It brought a few moments of enjoyable game play.)
2. Tic Tac (big baby) It was something to do not something good, but something to do.
1. Yum Yum (diva) It’s not worthy of diva cat’s time or yours.
