NHR:
"This game does force some backtracking on you. In my least favorite instance you're forced to run to the end of a level, then go back to the beginning, and then back to the end. It turns three loading screens into nine. There's no justification for that. If you want six more screens in your game, make them. Also, if you're going to spawn enemies I need to kill in rooms I've already cleared, give me some notification. Don't make me run through six rooms to check on it after I return to the hub without the requisite items.
This game feels like a bit of a step back from episode 1. Hopefully one of the next two will justify the series' existence."
So last week Geoff took a look at the first game in the series Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rainslick Precipice of Darkness: Episode 1. In a dazzling display of imagination and originality, this week he's decided to write about the second game in the series – Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rainslick Precipice of Darkness: Episode 2! So let’s get to it!
Bright Hub writes: "For nearly ten years, Mike and Jerry of Penny Arcade have brought us the adventures of their alter egos Gabe and Tycho. Our list of their greatest hits examines not only the funniest and best comics, but also the overall effect Penny Arcade has had on gamers and the industry."
I love Penny Arcade! I don't always get it, though, especially if they're talking about a game I haven't played.
A new Weekend Deal has arrived on Steam for "Penny Arcade Adventures: Precipice of Darkness Combo Pack" to the tune of 75% off. This comes from the Steam Content Examiner at Examiner.com.
