Pikimal: Confrontation on the PC is a good representation of, and introduction to, the Confrontation tabletop universe, but presented in a clumsily executed way. Still, I feel like I got some quality RTS/RPG gaming out of Confrontation, and as long as you don’t expect the second coming of Dragon Age, you’ll find things to enjoy about this lengthy game. $40 is a little steep for the amount of quality and content offered, but if you can look past its many flaws, Confrontation offers a decent story and challenge, but only for the most dedicated RTS/RPG fan.
Focus Home Interactive, who Game-Modo recently described as a dark horse in publishing, have just got involved in a new Humble Bundle. They’re offering eight quality games for you to buy in a bundle while letting you do your bit for charity.
I grabbed it. I was interested enough already to try out the Game of Thrones . . .game (though I hear it is less than great).
Already owned Divinity 2, though that game is fantastic in itself.
Cities, Game of Thrones and Testament of Sherlock Holmes was worth the $25 I spent either way. Some of the other games seem interesting enough and I will probably get to them in time.
I bought it just for div 2, great game. The rest will just be icing if they turn out to be good, haven't got around to playing any yet as i'm in the middle of another play through of Oblivion lol.
MyGaming's Jeremy Proome writes: "2012 has been a surprisingly good year in terms of game quality. While each year always has it’s big blockbusters that rack up the 90-and-above ratings, there always seems to be some yings to mix up those yangs."
"The main problem with Confrontation is that it's too basic, and does nothing to set itself apart in the genre, and combined with low production values, you have a recipe for mediocrity."
