Lusus Naturae

Things I like — the courses are unique and challenging with a variety of types, there’s a vast selection of cars, the head-to-head is entertaining, the graphics work remarkably well for a 5 year old computer. Things I meh — a lot of the expedition parts are not much more than “go here, find all the stuff easily, go back, get a car”. The engine sounds are a little unrealistic. Things I don’t like — No Lancia. I want my Delta Integrale and I want it now!

Strange; it’s either five stars or three people that gave it a one for... reasons, I guess. Oblivion was my first Elder Scrolls story. It was on a middle-power PC and at the time it was... a great story, excellent character development, but the main plot became annoying and repetitive. Years later, after so many replays of Skyrim and deliberately avoiding plots, I tried Oblivion again and am deliberately avoiding plots. And it’s a LOT better that way. I’d recommend it.

I didn’t know what to expect as I went in. I hadn’t reas many reviews or details. When I discovered it was more an interactive storyline than a Skyrim-style open-world game, became less enthusiastic. 5 minutes later the introduction nearly had me crying and I played it front beginning to end The story is, as many have commented, much more detailed and involved than a lot of games. No shooting, no fighting, no other people beyond a distance and I think an elk or a deer was involved. Not for people that want things like that. At the end, there was a no “Yes! I won!” It was “Wow... they were so real... I wonder where they’ll go...“ And they’re gone. Anything more would have ruined it. Great game.
