The Fall reviews

[Mr. Teatime]

<strong>[Game -> Update]</strong>

A bit later than everyone else, but the latest newsletter for <a href="http://www.the-fall.com">The Fall</a> talks about how great some magazines think the game is:<blockquote><i>PC Games and PC Action, two of Europe's biggest PC gaming magazines, are featuring reviews of The Fall - Last Days of Gaia in their current issues.
<br>
<br>The game scored a 83 out of 100 in PC Action.
<br>
<br>"Seldom has a post-apocalyptic world been more exciting than the wastelands in The Fall."
<br>
<br>""Oh my lady, I'll save that artifact!" - fortunately, quests like this are not present in The Fall."
<br>
<br>"Tons of humorous dialogue."
<br>
<br>"The combination of the interesting, well thought-out story and the exquisite combat and character system makes The Fall a worthy successor to the Fallout series, which has been the benchmark for post-apocalyptic RPGs to this day."
<br>
<br>PC Games gave it an overall score of 84/100 (game design 90/100):
<br>
<br>"Only a very few games feature such an intelligently structured background story."
<br>
<br>"The complex and remarkably diversified quests in The Fall are a big plus."
<br>
<br>"In addition to the intelligent challenges and the twist-laden plot, The Fall also impresses with the sheer size of the game world."</i></blockquote>When German games magazines stop gushing over <i>any</i> game made in their country, I'll start taking their reviews of said games seriously.
<br>
<br>What I've heard from people who have played the game is that it has a lot of potential, ruined by horrendous bugs.

And horrible Carsten references?

At least there is a decent chance any/all bugs can be ironed out. Poor design on the other limb . . .
