Saved my disappointment from Dead Island Ripturd

If you get caught up on fapping to graphics and constantly talk to your friends and neighbors about your triple SLI graphics cards in their liquid cooled heaven, then please go cry/fap to crysis 3 ad nauseum.

I turned Crysis 3 off after about 10 minutes. I like to play long rpg's, especially open world with a good, engaging story and i love a ton of side quests.

While Mars War Logs doesn't tick all those boxes, it still kept me up for two nights thoroughly engaged.

The Cons:
Not enough weapons, armor, upgrades. I had tons of loot and money left over, and without more weapons and upgrades it made the combat a little less fun.

Not enough side quests, but oddly there was enough for the areas. So I guess I'm trying to say they needed more areas, ie a bit longer game.

Alot of clipping, doesn't really bother me as much as it does others. but there is a surprising amount.

Voice roles were very strange, some of them fit, some of the didn't, but it was pretty funny so its not a big con.

playing on a controller, the camera was a bit clunky, but i got used to it quickly.

The Pros:
Absolutely loved the cinnamontography. I thought the animations were incredibly good for what it was. They were immersive and the facial expressions went well the scenes. great cinnamon.

I thought the characters were very well done except some of the voices. I really liked the writing and dialogue of the characters. I'm a sucker for some cheesy lines but overall I thought it was great. however, these above points should be taken in the context of this is not even close to a AAA title game.

Combat was really fun and had a lot of elements, I thought the skill tree and progress were well timed and well thought out. It just got a little stale without being able to have more gear.

Story was good and liked having some choice and consequence.

Bottom line:

Whoever made this is certainly on the right track, all the elements were there and it was alot of fun and I enjoyed the ride. To me this game blew dead island out of the water. I think there are much needed improvements that could be made to take it to the next level but this game proves you don't need super awesome graphics to have fun. and the graphics really weren't that bad.
