Gaming Tharsis Review

10% I knew you guys were changing things up but that seems a little harsh since you say you loved it

 

I enjoyed watching a friend play this and get unbelievably frustrated by the time his crew got to week 6 and everything seemed impossible to manage with his remaining crew.

While the game has a fairly good concept, it seems that they need to do a total re-balance of the mechanics as it looks much more challenging that it should be... almost to the point that they didn't play-test the game and just accepted the random number generation would on occasion be fair to the player.

Where are you getting the 10% from?
I can't see a single mention of scoring in the article beyond the 'Recommended' badge.

 

Strangely, if you refresh page 2 while keeping an eye on the Recommended badge, you will momentarily see a 10% badge flash up. Odd eh?

 

I see, I didn't notice that initially as I don't normally skip straight to the scoring.
I guess if someone is on a slightly slower connection then it might show up for a bit longer before the script kicks in and hides the old badge.

Looks like whoever codes the templates for review pages might need to do a little tidy-up to remove any reference to the old badges instead of just running a jQuery script to hide them.

 

Got this and Darkest Dungeon on my Wish List, have bought a few too many games recently to justify getting either at the moment but I do quite like this random luck game mechanic ala FTL.

Nice review.

 

Darkest Dungeon is coming out of Early Access soon enough, so that's on my "to-review" list.

The rest of this month is pretty busy with Tomb Raider finally coming to PC though, so I'll have to see if I can find a spot for it.

 

I finally got round to picking this up (in the gog sale), the review from you guys was spot on!

I also like how I can play this game in bite sized chucks at my leisure as and when I have time with no love loss or lack of progress.

The game takes no prisoners, brutal yet compelling!
