This was unfortunate since this game had some pretty good moments throughout its lengthy single-player campaign. Unfortunately, Andromeda buckled under the weight and was crushed, along with any hope of this game getting an expansion to its story. Mass Effect Andromeda had a lot to live up to, being the successor to one of gaming’s greatest sci-fi adventure trilogies in recent memory. You can check out our review of the game here.
With excellent writing, this game is more than worthy of a couple of playthroughs, even if the town is kind of quiet most of the time. You can also choose to get to know people, or just spend time alone time at home during the evenings. Sounds strange for an open-world game, right? But once you find out that there’s a degree of freedom when it comes to stuff you choose to deliver, in whatever order you want, however way you want. But that gives you an excuse to go out and meet new friends and reconnect with people Meredith hasn’t seen in years. But instead of relaxing as planned, you take over your dad’s mail carrier duties during the duration of your trip. You take control of Meredith, a programmer who wanted to get away from it all and decided to take a couple of weeks off by going back to your childhood home of Providence Oaks. Lake is a narrative-focused adventure game that takes the idea of delivering mail and turning it into a zen-like experience like very few games like it. They can growl and howl all they want but If they can’t keep up with me in the air, on the ground, or on top of the water, then they’re hardly worth mentioning. Oh, did I forget to mention the zombies? Well too bad. But don’t use that as an excuse to respawn multiple times. Sunset Overdrive also turned the act of respawning into a running gag. Needless to say, there’s plenty of fun to be had in this sandbox. Traversal options is an important to the game as the variety of weapons you’ll pick up to blow zombies up. The game’s greatest achievement is this sense of non-stop motion. The writing alone is pretty noteworthy but I’ll tell you right now, you’re probably too busy taking in all the sights and discovering parts of towns you swear weren’t there on your last couple of playthroughs. The zombie apocalypse hasn’t even been this bright and colorful and it hasn’t been since. The very definition of an over-the-top open-world comic book game, Sunset Overdrive reminds us that we can have a lot of fun with grind rails and lots and lots of explosives. You can also check out our review of the game here. It’s not for everybody, but if you happen to like high-stakes tactical action games, look no further than the Wasteland series. You can take a completely different route and exhaust your options by entering random settlements and “resolving” some lost-standing issues. In terms of an open world game, you are free to take on whatever subplot you wish to do on the way to completing your higher goals. They’re not going to follow you if you do something they don’t like.
Even your so-called allies take note of your actions. But that’s the appeal of this game – your choice matter, even when you think that everything is out of your control.
Even being overpowered feels like a loss to some degree. Very rarely do you feel like you are actually winning in this game. I think that’s the best I can describe this unrelenting top-down turn-based survival game. There are only decisions you can live with. Heck, after playing it several times, I’d say there are no right answers either. In Wasteland 3, there are no wrong answers.
