Finally something new!

User Rating: 9 | Darwinia PC
I've been looking for a game that pushed the limits of what had been done, that brought a new gaming experience and had originality. I really wasn't expecting this from a ordinary looking game like Darwinia.

I saw it popup in my Steam interface, saw a few good reviews and tried the demo. The first shock is to go beyond the graphics and sounds. Honestly, this game looks 10 years old or more. However, once you get into the game, the originality of the story, the gameplay, you'll get hooked.

Darwinia is somewhat like the lemmings meet starcraft. It's not quite a RTS, it's not quite a puzzle game. It's way more than an adventure game. I loved the demo so much I finally bought the game. At 19.99 on Steam, I think you get A LOT for your money. This game has many many hours of gameplay.

Highs: Original, addictive, strategic

Lows: graphics, sounds, no save game (it saves gamestate in a profile at the end of a level), no pause (only way to pause is to alt+tab to desktop)
