A crazy amount of mechanics and fascinating interactions between them. Either DF is your thing, or it isn't. I know that it isn't mine, although I still appreciate it for what it is.
Kinda OK I suppose... if it wasn't so goddamn slow and long. I don't have the nerve to finish this game. And I can't see why a reasonable human being would.
Stacks of Doom, and long periods of time a new player isn't sure what they should be doing. Kinda understandable.. it's geared mostly towards the fans of Civ 1-3. Also has some pretty cool mods.
Violence for the sake of violence. Oh, and communism bad. If you happen to be a person of some sophistication, look elsewhere. Just like Bioshock 1, the setting is good, but that's about it.
I believe it took the FPS game in a worse direction. Xen is boring. It's still a good shooter.. I suppose? Single player isn't that special. Multiplayer on Crossfire would still be pretty fun. Shame it didn't have bot support.
Arghh why does the pacing of CRPGs need to be so goddamn glacial. Not my cup of tea... I never understood how ppl can play these games again and again and again for 100s of hours.
Cool concept, but drags its feet later on and lacks polish. The game development self-reflections are amazing. Moreso after what happened to Disco Elysium's creators.
