First off, I had the opportunity to see a screening with Anna Eriksson, the director, introducing the film and having a Q&A session afterwards. I didn’t really know what to expect, but I did struggle through a horrific need to piss to hear her out, because she knew her shit. Also, I have been to such events previously and what was (gladly) missing from this one was the ego some of those people have regarding their work.
How can a game be so horrible and contrived, while I still want to 100% it?
Note: I have never played the original game, so I am not saying anything about that.
Two things first:
This is an early access game, so it is not complete. The current version is 0.9.0, so it might be getting close to release and I think most of the content is there, except that there hasn’t been a vampire anywhere, but I’m not sure that will even happen.
This is not a good game in my view, but I will still argue for it. Weird, huh.
First: I haven’t finished the game yet. I just haven’t bothered. It just hasn’t been that much fun, that I would have felt the desire to put more hours into it.
Storybook Brawl is an autobattler, meaning that you just manage a team and the system handles the actual battling for you according to some randomness and rules to guide that randomness. It’s still in early access and is free-to-play, but it doesn’t feel like pay-to-win at all, even though spending money does make it more fun.
Okay, late by just three years. That’s fine right? I mean, I can’t be the only one still playing this. Then again, I paid about six euros for this, so everyone else might have already bought this.
Note: I am a very long time player, so if you are new, this might be the product for you. Me? No.
As promised, although later than planned (because the book or booklet didn’t arrive before my little trip).
I know I’m late on this, because it’s been about four years since the last actual Borderlands game, but the Borderlands 3 is coming out in September, so maybe this is very timely. Or that’s what I’ll tell myself.
I’m actually playing through Borderlands 2 for the first time right now, so this is a very immediate experience for me.
