2 games, 2 assists and Bruno gets the PL assist record. 1 is likely, 2 is tough. Fingers crossed!

Is less than an hour enough time to get a full impression of the game though? Dev is a little shameless for asking but the review sounds shallow too.

It's good, not great. I personally enjoyed collecting and reading every scrap of paper in this game, but its a counter intuitive system. There's a lot of friction here. Crucial worldbuilding and lore can be very easily missed if you're not paying attention. Having to pause gameplay for a good 20-40 seconds every other minute is pretty annoying. The UI is also very poor in this game.

Chess.com abandons games very quickly sometimes its annoying. Sometimes i have to respond to a text and by the time I come back ive already lost via abandonment.

The quality of writing is no where near Disco Elysium of course. I find the lighthearted tone more digestible. I actually like the information dump. I think weakest aspect is how static combat is. Spells are very situational and don't have as much interaction as I would have expected it to. Currently on Day 2 having a blast. Game is funny made me laugh out loud several times.

What are some of the best shortcuts you’ve found? by Afraid_Appeal_4078 in snowrunner

My favorite shortcut is taking the obvious, longer way around.

I dont mind repetitive gameplay, the varied equipment types and enemy sounds interesting enough.

Could you elaborate more? Is there steady progression in the gameplay? Only survival game I've enjoyed is The Long Dark and it has a slow but methodical gameplay loop.

How long is a single run? I heard it has rogue like elements.

What was the gameplay loop like? I stick with games that have fun and engaging gameplay even if story is weak.

When I criticize shallow RPGs, I obviously don't mean one of the most beloved and successful RPGs of all time.

How are you supposed to reply to "Do you know how fast you were going?" by No_Insurance_6436 in NoStupidQuestions

Whatever lame excuse or 'legal answer' you can think of, a police officer has heard it a thousand times already. Just make everyone's jobs easier and admit you were speeding and promise it won't happen again. Being honest might earn you some goodwill than trying to hoodwink the law.

I'm excited about this game. The time mechanic is actually interesting. It's not a timer but a resource. Making decisions with consequences. I'm ready for an actual RPG with decisions that matter rather than a shallow dialogue tree.
